Modifications for the Mitsubishi Space
Space tuning tips from the car tuning guide, we take a look at the best power mods for the Space in our latest guide.
Available in standard form with power of upto 149bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the Space. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 163.9bhp to 253.3bhp which seems almost too good to be true but is possible if you have deep pockets.
To go over the 100bhp per 1000cc limit you would need to be running a pretty serious forced induction setup. If you head for a maximum power figure you need to expect a lot of unreliability. See this link for more details on Engine Tuning
If you have a lower powered Space your best bet for a mod would be an engine swap with the 149bhp Space Star. The Car Tuning Guide have been impressed by the Spaces (especially the sporty ones!) They reward the tuner with even more power and a better ride. The most frequent modification we see on the Space include sports exhausts, air intakes or induction kits and a fuel pressure boost valve.
The Car Tuning Guide recommend that on the Spaces , you get a fast road cam. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The most powerful Space Star in our database offers 149 bhp. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 163.9 bhp to 253.3bhp with mods we have outlined above.
You will get even larger power gains for these tuning mods on a Spaces. A simple remap and better intercooler will almost double your power.The Spaces come in various power levels right up to 149bhp. On a motorsport prepared Space it is possible to achieve power figures of anywhere approaching 193.7bhp to 283.1bhp. But this sort of power requires some pretty heavy investment and a hell of a lot of engine work. . Many Space owners improve the handling of their cars with slightly stiffer springs. You shouldn’t really lower a car by more than 30-35mm.
