Furthermore, wikipedia stated that the fuel cut is at 8000rpm…here’s the extract :-

The engines’s bore and stroke both measure 86.0 mm, which engineers refer to as square. According to Mitsubishi, the new cylinder dimensions contribute to a free-revving character (6,500 rpm redline, 8000 rpm final), linear power delivery and wide torque curve. Mitsubishi used a timing chain instead of a belt for better reliability, iridium spark plugs to lower emissions and to help extend major service intervals for lower cost of ownership. To reduce weight, Mitsubishi used a plastic cam cover and intake manifold and double-layer stainless steel exhaust manifold. The exhaust manifold has a rear location on the transverse engine, compared to the front location for the previous engine, yielding important benefits such as better emissions performance. To lower vibration, Mitsubishi used a 4-point inertial axis system with cylindrical hydraulic engine mounts on the left and right sides. A lightweight, high-rigidity squeeze-cast aluminum bracket on the right side mount (engine side) lowers engine noise under acceleration. A lightweight, high-rigidity steel plate bracket on the left side mount (transmission side) lowers gear noise. A custom-tuned insulator was developed for the front and rear mounts to help control both idle vibration and acceleration shock.

Confirmation for the above is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Some complaint that tappets noise is normal on 4Gx and 6Ax but let me tell u something… it’s BS! Noise is a result of a clogged hydraulic tappets. Plus, u can’t just use engine flush (will will make it worse).

Only way is to use drain oil from engine, fill it with cheap mineral oil, let it run for 30 mins and flush the whole thing together n replace with original Mitsubishi oil filter (not Proton or China-made OEMs).

A typical service costs me RM 150 (with oil and filter) and if require flushing, add another RM 50. Till today, my 4G63T is quiet and smooth. Tmw is D-Day, a day to dyno the engine after upgrading a few parts.

anyone know if adding a low-pressure turbo kit, can the original 4B11 take the higher power ?

-simply is vvt, pretty basic ,well.. exhaust vvt makes a different presumably,

timing chain, ? no problem ,Lambo ,merc bmw use timing chain,
longer service life, change it just when engine needed overhaul or rebuild,

oops gearbox ,if faulty- buang!!

However, as must as the response you get from a N/A engine, forcefed engines make more sense here with high road tax based on engine capacities.

A lightly tuned modern forcefed 2.0L engine will easily push past 200hp and 200ft-lbs of torque and not compromize too much on fuel economy.

Phase 2 (ride and handling), Phase 3 (styling), Phase 3 (after sales services) will follow after this.

Paul, pls continue to blog about this Lancer, will you?

22 mpg = 10.7 liter per 100 km
29 mpg = 8.1 liter per 100 km

Totally great engine… more power with just RON92 fuel. Save a lot to your pocket..

Proton should go for this technolgy, since all Malaysian not good in their ‘deep pocket”.
