Read in the paper today DC are pulling out of Mitsubishi. A lot of people are saying on their own, Mitsubishi won't last more than a couple of years unless someone bails them out...was wondering what people's thought were...

their reputation in Japan has taken a big knock in recent years with a string of recalls, cover-ups and bad publicity. Can they recover? Would be a shame to see the 3 diamonds disappear...

Dave: DC said they will currently not inject more money, they haven't said anything about selling their 37% share.

As you may have also heard Mitsubishi Group is going to continue with the restructuring so things may not go complete shit, but I will be very interested to hear what my boss say about this.

Troy - have a read of Saturdays Daily Yomiuri (front page) It says, and I quote:

" DaimlerChrysler AG said Thursday it would pull out of Mitsubishi Motor Corp.....putting the Japanese firms future in doubt"

It goes on to say: " It (DC) would not provide anymore financial support to Mitsubishi, Japans only unprofitable car maker. "This clearly means separation" a DC spokesman said, adding that the company (DC) would book it's 37% stake as a discontinued business until it can find a buyer...."

that is indeed bad news. Hard to say what will happen, but if they concentrated their efforts in making more interesting cars (Evo 8 aside) then they wouldn't be in this position...

...oh sh1t!!! Here comes one of those loose Mitsubishi truck wheels! Its heading right for me!! Hahhhhhhhahhhhah:D:D

well here in australia we dont get the evos(only100 per year i think) and we only got a handful of GTOs which were ridiculously priced. instead we get a fwd 2litre single cam lancer pumping 70kw at the engine(or something like that), even our mirage and gsr are detuned/given a much less powerful engine. so i wouldnt really mind if they go broke

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
