Mitsubishi 4G63T 2.0L DOHC

I've had this little guy sitting on top of my LEGO bin for about...errrr.... 6 months now? Yeah seriously, THAT long.

 

Anyways, my biggest setback is that I don't wanna build any cars that have this engine :P (Well actually I REALLY want to build a 2G Eclipse but that's practically impossible for me)

 

I started putting this into a Japanse A6M Zero inspired Mitsubishi Cordia AWD but I kinda gave up on that when the LUGNuts aviation challenge ended.

 

I just haven't found the right car to put it in and using ribbed hose for intercooler piping is probably not one of my better ideas.... As you can see fitting this will be a pain in the rump on no matter what car I go with.

 

So goodbye Cordia, goodbye 4G63 (for now). If you wanna steal this engine for one of your projects, go right ahead, just be sure to slap me some credit if you borrow my utter genius. ;)

Good luck duplicating it though, the inner structure of this lego engine is actually rather complex.

I spent a LOT of time getting that valve cover just right.
