Worked at MMAL for seven year before they shut down so glad I bought one of these Ralliart Magna's they are the bomb.
The engine is nothing short of magnificent. To develop its 180kW at 5500 rpm and 333Nm at 4000 rpm (over the 163kW engine, the torque is improved right through the rev range!)Mitsubishi engineers have lifted the compression by 0.4 of a ratio to 9.4:1, modified the combustion chambers to reduce valve shrouding, and fitted cams with an additional 10 per cent lift. Inside the engine new nitrided valve springs are used, and the pistons have anodised crowns and top lands. Stainless steel extractors are fitted, and while the exhaust is largely the same as fitted to the 163kW cars, a large central muffler has been added to reduce the low-rpm resonance. ECU changes include the lifting of the speed limiter from 210 to 240 km/h, make this Mitsubishi Ralliart Magna a top car to drive and own.
