As there is a lot of conflicting information around and not many cars have the same engine/gearbox that they left the factory with, I have tried to include all of the information required to identify what type of box you should use and how to distinguish that box from other similar boxes.
If you are swapping an Astron engine into a Lancer or Galant, it is advisable to use an engine and matching Jap box as they will easily fit where the Borg Warner requires changes to the gearbox mounts and tailshaft.

The idea was to combine the fuel economy of a diesel engine (where fuel is injected directly into the cylinder) and the performance of a petrol engine.
This was achieved by Mitsubishi with the GDI engines, where the company claims 20% improvement in fuel economy and better torque and power response from the GDI engines.
The GDI engines inherently produce a lot of NOx gases and unburnt hydrocarbon, but these issues have been carefully addressed by Mitsubishi by using EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and by using powerful catalytic converters.
