Anybody Have Info on new 3.8 V6?

Does anybody have any information on the new 3.8L Mitsu V6 in the new Eclipse GT? Is it a bored and stroked 6g72 block? It looks like they make awesome power for being an N/A V6.

Tim made good numbers at the fall dyno-day.

I think the engine is code named 6g75. Does this engine have MIVEC?

[Kracka]

Yes.

Yup yup. X-Factor made I think ~240whp on dyno daynamics in his 4G eclipse w/ slushbox. The car had headers, catback, and an intake on it. Pretty pimp numbers, more than a stock evo on that dyno.

That's nuts. I did some looking around and RIPP made 400 whp with a supercharger and slushbox.

Yea, there's another thread on that here. 400whp on DD too, pretty damn impressive.
