TUNING THE MITSUBISHI 4G63

A weak actuator let this Mitsubishi 4G63 down on power during this session. Boost kept dropping off significantly, despite a supposedly new FORGE actuator fitted to the car.

The boost control system was not holding the target pressure. A weak spring was causing the wastegate to open too early. This robbed the engine of the power it was capable of making.

We will be back with a stronger spring, preloaded correctly to fight another day. With that sorted, we expect to extract another 20 to 30 horsepower from this solid 4G63. The custom ECU tune is ready and waiting once the hardware issue is resolved.

This is a good example of why every component needs to be in good working order before a tune session. Even small mechanical issues can have a big impact on dyno results.
