mitsubishi 6A10 1.6 V6 engine...

its got really really good sound,esp if u were to match it with the right type of muffler...its smooth when on the go as well,cost of running it is kinda high id say....changing the timing belt,or even the spark plugs are not cheap....as for the power,initial take off is a little slow n not really sure about its the top end.

To me personally,its only the sound of this engine produces that attract's me...otherwise, nothing much

can be used on wira

saw some wira converted this engine

pretty nice engine.

like the didi of the perdana v6 6A12

a little high cost on maintenance.

but the sound generated is priceless!

god mod laa.....power delivery is damn smooth

n da startin sound u get=priceless

it may be a bit slow on low end, but top speed, u'll go EAT MY DUST S**KRZZ

from wat i read (most forum)..

its not a good choice for a wira... the engine is much heavier compare to inline 4 engines.. makes the front part heavier .. easier to go understeer..

yet ,.. no performance part available .. pickup quite weak.. due to its smaller CC but heavy engine.. high end so so only ,.. but engine is quite smooth due to its V6 configurations.. Top speed compare to other L4 .. is weaker also .. but then the engine should be smoother during higher end .. bcoz its a V6.

im usin it.....n so far no problems............n i enquired my mech, he said can use 6A12(perdana)'s TURBO kit........

1.da car is very powerful, overtakin is a breeze
2.im usin da absorber+springs from da halfcut, bhind im usin APM performax absorbers+ stock springs, i can c da front part higher than the back, so im plannin 2 change suspension sys for da whole car
3.top speed can go 220(ive tried so far, until a big butt S320 came n slowed me down)
4.if u wan this engine, better chg 2 a good set of brakes, stock configuration(2vent disc n 2drum) is insufficient....
5.when u start ur car, evry1 will b starin.......V6 startin sound mmg CUN laaa
6.FC is good, it gives me 250KMs for RM50(RM1.92 per litre), im dun drive very fast
ok ok ony laaa lolzzz....

I'd personally prefer the 4G91 over this engine... 4G91 got more potential... there isn't much u can do to this engine... performance parts are very limited. If u have the budget, get 4G93, even better.

Further more the engine is pretty heavy... u're gonna experience quite a bitch-like handling... understeers a lot. =Þ

Actually... a slightly done up 4G91 should be able to whack a 6A10.

RM50 for 250kms isn't exactly good fuel consumption... i know tons of GSRs that could get better fuel consumption than that... summore they're 1.8 turbo comparing to 1.6 n/a lerz... my 4G91 could go past 500kms for 40 litres petrol (roughly RM80).

However.. i'd have to agree the exhaust sound memang cun!! =Þ
Starter sound can change starter wan maa...

how come what u said and what my friend told different geh?? He said his 6A10 top end no power... which i believed la... assuming my 4G91 could whack him if rolling start. Maybe his one got problem? hahaa...

STill think 4G91/93 has more potential... u can't go far with this engine... there's practically nothing almost can say... nothing to mod. =Þ PnP is expensive (2 heads, 24 valves)... cams cannot get, adjustable campulleys could probably use 4G93 ones but nobody knows how to tune V6 pulleys... and if u play n/a... thats the best few mods that u could do to your engine !!

If you decide to turbo... sure the turbo kit is available... but u can't go far with that either... so far haven't heard of metal gasket for this engine... and u won't be able to get stronger internals or forged pistons for this engine... so end up, u can oni use small turbo and boost lowlow. =Þ Unless u order custom internals... which are going to cost a bomb. =Þ

not all people same type with u maa, u think its worthless convert to non performance engine...but some people feels that 'look and sound' is better than performance engine. Tekan here and there once a while enuff la, PnP for what? not like all people like to race or enter track etc..140bhp is good enough IMHO for non full-time racing type of people.Plus u get a smooth drive, and an eye catcher when they heard the good old bubble sound from the exhaust.

haaha... 140hp on crank maybe la... if on wheels, i doubt the 6A10 can reach without doing massive mods. =Þ

Think the 6A12 with moderate mods also is around 130+ on wheels only.

Further more i don't think its worthless converting a non performance engine also... 4G91, 4G93 are not performance engines... further more even the GSR was not created as a performance engine as well... thats why these engines damn hard to find aftermarket parts... =Þ but still easier to find than the V6 engines la... which are next to impossible to find.

I not saying what la... but u ask for opinion ma... therefore i give my opinion lor... still, based on my experience, i dun feel its worth it converting to this engine. Maintanence high, fuel consumption high (compared to 4G91, 93 or GSR), worsens your handling with the heavy front, parts are difficult to find... besides the exhaust sound (by which u'll try to run from JPJ all the time, which could be a bad thing)... i can't find anything good about converting to this engine.

Unless of course u driving a perdana... I must say... the 6A12 on the perdana is just EXCELLENT !!!!!!!! Wouldn't mind having one of those to drive around.

used to drive my wira 6a10... but unluckily involved in an accident after tiesto party.. sigh.. n the car total loss...T.T
its a very smooth engine but not much can modd.. n i think wira dont have enough place for u too add turbo kit coz last time i juz changed a bigger radiator ald no more place...

eheh alvin24, u're right..I'm driving a 6a12TT perdana. Half cut from Galant GT Sport (not eterna saloon).Guess what, Dyno'd for 200ps on wheel at N1 with standard S4 piping (1.8"),stock air filter,hks hyper muffler (which I dont think add HP,dunno for sure..I installed it for sound and look only.),standard S4 bullet and the only performance part is safc2 that I installed before dyno.Unless N1 racing's dyno is not correct then I cant say anything la..boost 0.7 and galant gt sport's 6a12tt spec is 240ps on flywheel. For me, my turbo just to boost here and there, not for full time racing. Simply say, it just for driving fun!
btw, when dynoed that day, my boost drop from 0.7 to 0.3 when reaching 6k rpm.Turn out my ssqv valve already koyak.Now after fixed it I didnt do another dyno season yet. Maybe I will after change air filter & proper piping but I dont think I'll do it coz I love my FC now,better than my S4.rm30 for 180-200km. Not rly high if you ask me for 2L 1.3tan car.Maintainance wise? rm1.2k for every 75000km which might take 2 - 3 years and rm60 every month for lub. oil. Seems ok to me, and for nearly 6 month I didnt face any problem with engine. Where got high maintance for V6? as I know, 6A10 can use spare part from perdana which isnt cost a bomb.V6 sparkplug also last for 100,000km. Maybe you're right about the 6a10 engine too heavy for wira but if you not wacking corner kaw-kaw it doesnt matter right?

yap! along with the question, if supra truly = ferarri's killer, why got people bought a Ferrari? Why bought a Lambo if it can be beaten by a Skyline? I bet those sport cars must be more expensive to modified,maintain & rly know how to drink petrol then that Japs car. People got their owns taste :) and yeah we wonder why got people bought a merc with kompressor while there's sooo many other bangs for buck car in this world.

yah.. i think ppl who choose 6a10 not because of the power but is the sound.. can rev kao kao.. last time my car can rev till 9500rpm.. hehe but is auto la..
