Mitsubishi 4g67 engine
Content
The Mitsubishi 4g67 engine is an in-line four-cylinder. Has 16 DOHC valves. Installed from 1988 to 1992. Part of the 4g6 series. This series of units is one of the most common on Mitsubishi cars.
The engine is dynamic. Easily spins up to 3500-4000 rpm. At the same time, it does not make unnecessary noise and does not particularly strain. A good internal combustion engine does not consume a lot of oil.
Technical specifications
| Engine | Volume, cc | Power, hp | Max. power, hp (kW) / at rpm | Max. torque, N/m (kg/m) / at rpm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4g67 | 1836 | 135 – 136 | 135 (99) to 6300 136 (100) to 5500 | 141 (14) to 4000 159 (16) to 4500 |
The engine number can be found between the A/C compressor bracket and manifold.
Motor reliability
The reliability of the internal combustion engine is not the highest, especially for Mitsubishi engines. With an increase in mileage, the engine begins to intensively consume oil. Consumption per 5 thousand kilometers can reach 2,5 liters. This is usually due to clogging of the cylinders.
A serviceable motor runs smoothly, like a Swiss watch. Oil leaks with timely maintenance are not observed. The engine practically does not heat up, even when driving in dynamic mode.
4g67 starts up without problems on cold winter days. The 1,8-liter power unit is not the most high-torque, but overall not bad. The five-speed manual transmission, paired with the engine, generally works fine. However, bearing seizure can occur, resulting in a serious belt. Fortunately, replacement or repair sometimes costs even less than transporting a car on a tow truck.
Maintainability
It is also worth noting that the motor on individual cars is sometimes not sufficiently protected. In this case, an inexpensive analogue from the VAZ 2110 will come to the rescue. In order to put protection against the “tens”, it is enough to drill holes that match the threads on the body. After making an opening for the ski and drilling holes in the back for proper docking with the body.
The last 4g67s were installed back in 1992, so the unit requires a thorough inspection when buying. Parts for it are quite inexpensive. Therefore, it is quite realistic to bring the internal combustion engine and the car in order for little money.
Replacing the timing belt is not the rarest procedure. As in any other car, it is performed at intervals of 50-60 thousand kilometers. It is realistic to set the timing marks yourself, but it is still better to contact a service station.
4g67 sometimes does not slow down during operation. For example, when switching from third gear to neutral gear, the speed does not fall below 1700. In this case, the idle speed sensor, TPS or DMRV may be faulty.
Cars on which the engine was installed
- Mitsubishi Eterna, hatchback (1988-1992)
- Mitsubishi Eterna, sedan (1988-1992)
- Mitsubishi Galant, sedan (1989-1992)
- Mitsubishi Lancer, hatchback (1988-1991)
Contract engine
The cost of the engine from disassembly is on average 30 thousand rubles. The price includes only the motor, while attachments are sold at an additional cost. A contract engine can be purchased for 60 thousand rubles. Such a unit does not have a mileage of more than 100 thousand kilometers and has not been operated on the territory of the Russian Federation. A contract engine with mileage across the Russian Federation costs from 35 thousand rubles.
Analogs and swap
Tuning the 4g67 engine is not usually practiced. A motor swap is most often used. For this purpose, the 4g63 unit is ideal. This is a much more powerful motor with 136 horsepower. Its reliability has been tested by many motorists.
A two-liter analogue was installed on a huge number of cars. It is much more popular than 4g67. 4g63 was released in several modifications, including 113 horsepower. Such a power unit was installed on Delica.
For the swap, it is interesting to use the most sophisticated version of the engine - 4g63T. This "monster" has 230 horsepower and was installed exclusively on rally versions of vehicles. The public version 4g63 has 230 horsepower. In any case, the internal combustion engine has 16 valves, a turbine and a 5 liter lubrication system, which is impressive.
After installing 4g63, you can also upgrade. Ideas for tuning in practice are currently implemented a lot. The hidden potential is simply huge. After some manipulations, the engine can really be improved to a power of 400-500 horsepower.
To get maximum power, 4g63 is supplemented with inexpensive equipment. The MINE'S computer is installed. For the necessary injection, a TRUST TD-06 turbine is used. The TRUST 2.3Kit is also used to increase power.
