Overview
The Mitsubishi 4G9 engine is a series of straight-4 automobile engines produced by Mitsubishi Motors. All are 16-valve, and use both single- and double- overhead camshaft heads. Some feature MIVEC variable valve timing, and it was the first modern gasoline direct injection engine upon its introduction in August 1996.
The 4G91 uses a bore and stroke of 78. 4 mm × 77. 5 mm for a total displacement of 1. 5 L. With a 9. 5:1 compression ratio and DOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder head and multi-point EFI, this engine produces 115 PS at 6,000 rpm and 135 N⋅m at 5,000 rpm. The 4G91 was a short-lived model, mainly built between 1991 and 1995 and rarely seen in export markets. There was also a carbureted model, with 97 PS at 6,000 rpm and 126 N⋅m at 3,500 rpm....
