The 4G63 engine has become a cornerstone in the world of time attack racing due to its power potential and reliability. Here are five standout 4G63-powered vehicles that have excelled in the time attack scene, each featured by the High Performance Academy.
1. 1200HP 2.2L 4G63 Tilton EVO IX
The Tilton Interiors EVO IX, renowned for its 1200 horsepower 2.2L 4G63 engine that retains the cast block rather than an after market billet option more common in cars at this level, has been a dominant force in time attack racing for many years. This vehicle utilizes an Emtron ECU, MoTeC PDM, and a BorgWarner EFR 9280 turbocharger to achieve remarkable performance on the track as a 'version 2.0' after a serious crash caused the need for a ground-up rebuild.
Check out this interview for more details.
2. 590HP Time Attack EVO 6
Evolution Racing Spares EVO 6, powered by a 2.3L 4G63 engine producing up to 590 horsepower, is a formidable competitor in the Clubsprint Class at the World Time Attack Challenge. It features a MoTeC M150 ECU and a Garrett GTX3576R GEN II turbo and is one of the few cars competing that is street driven to and from the event.
Benchmark Solutions' Benjamin Perry provides a solid overview of this amazing setup here.
3. Global Aircraft Services EVO IX
This EVO IX, driven by Nathan Morcom, features a 2.2L stroker 4G63 MIVEC build with custom billet internals. Controlled by an EMtron KV8 ECU and MoTeC PDM15, this car competes in the Open Class at the World Time Attack Challenge and is another bit power 4G63 that retained the factory cast block and utlises an interesting setup to deal with turbo compressor surge.

4. Is This Future You? Club Spec EVO 7
Running Nitto 2.2L stroker kit, Kelfod Cams, and ARP head studs to make around 500kw at 2.2 bar (670hp, 32psi), this RevZone built 4g63 powered EVO 7 Open Class Time Attack build is a constant work in progress for Darren Bishop, but not just in the way most people immediately think when it comes to simply adding more and more power. This car pulls double duties and can be seen running both time attack and club racing events.
Explore the specifics in this Tech Talk interview with the owner and driver himself.
5. 4G63 Swapped R32 GTR
Dom from Tony Rigoli Performance (TRP) runs us through some of the reasons why Chris Alexanders CJA Motorsport Nissan R32 GTR Skyline is better off with a 4 cylinder Mitsubishi 4g63 producing 1030hp to the hubs via a Borg Warner EFR 9280 than the equivalent 6 cylinder RB26 it came with.
Whether you’re a fan of the 4G63 or the RB26, this one is a must-watch.
