Not really a move back for what we would be using it for. this engine with the Montero upper intake and ECU would put out the 215HP same as Montero. Bore and stroke appear to be the same. need to compare compression ratio, etc.

Remember the mitsu DOHC ecu is tuned for premium 91 octane, while the Kia is detuned for 87 octane.

Need to find out if the detune is stricly ECU or not. If its the ECU only, easy money. If its ecu and cams, still easy. If pistons, not so much.
