New engine for Mitsubishi Lancer 9 1.6. Mitsubishi Lancer sedan. Engine design features

The Lancer 9 engine has become popular due to its simple design and ease of maintenance and repair. The car itself was the best-selling in the CIS. This was facilitated by its reliability, high level technical support and, of course, adaptation to our road conditions.

Production

In the early spring of 2000, Mitsubishi Motors released the Mitsubishi Lancer, which received the name Cedia in Japan - “diamond of the century.” In the rest of the world it became known as Lancer 9. It had a number of differences from its Japanese counterpart, namely:

• different body geometry in the front and back parts;
• budget trim;
• mechanical transmission.

Types and technical characteristics

The Lancer 9 engine was presented in various variations. Separately for each region. In Europe and North America, the best-selling engine was the 1.6 liter Lancer 9, although there were also 1.3 and 2.0 liter models. For native consumers, the Lancer was equipped with economical engines of 1.5 and 1.8 liters, which had 100 and 130 hp. With. respectively. There was also a turbocharged engine, but it was installed exclusively on station wagons. In Europe, the latter did not take root, but for the United States a separate modification was even created with a volume of 2.4 liters and a power of 164 hp. With.

Engine design features

It is made of an alloy of light metals, and the cylinders are cooled by liquid. Thanks to these properties, the engine becomes very economical, has excellent traction qualities, and also starts easily at any temperature. But despite these advantages, the Lancer 9 engine is very dependent on good quality fuel. Many breakdowns occur as a result of poor quality or untimely maintenance.

Engine maintenance and repair

The complexity of engine repair is very much determined by the amount and frequency of maintenance. Routine maintenance and repair operations are discussed below.

Oil change. On Lancer 9, oil is poured into the engine every 10-12 thousand kilometers. The sequence of actions in this case:

1. Removing the oil pan protection by unscrewing the five mounting bolts.
2. Unscrew the drain plug and drain the old oil. Do not forget that the aluminum gasket must be replaced with a new one, since it performs the task of both connecting the plug to the pan and preventing spontaneous unscrewing.
3. Replacement oil filter. Before installing a new filter, it is recommended to coat the O-ring with oil. This is necessary to prevent displacement during fastening.
4. Filling with new oil. You must be extremely careful when performing this operation to prevent oil from spilling onto the engine or getting onto the exhaust manifolds. You also need to strictly observe the amount of oil poured. For engines with a volume of 1.3 and 1.6 liters, 3.3 liters of oil are recommended, and for two-liter units - 4.3 liters, respectively.
5. Treatment of embedded bolts with protective lubricant and installation of pallet protection.

Replacing the water pump (pump):

1. Draining the coolant.
2. Removing the timing belt.
3. Unscrewing the pump mounting bolts.
4. Removing the water pump by prying it up with a screwdriver.
5. Cleaning the seat.
6. Applying sealant to the pump and installing it.
7. Reinstall everything previously removed in reverse order.

It is worth mentioning that for better sealing, it is better to fill in the coolant no earlier than an hour after installing the pump.

Replacing the thermostat:

1. Disconnecting the wire from the minus terminal.
2. Coolant drain.
3. Unscrew the cover mounting bolts.
4. Remove the cover and remove the thermostat.
5. Removing and replacing the sealing ring.
6. Cleaning the surface from oxidation and dirt.
7. Installing the thermostat and its cover.
8. Filling with coolant, removing air pockets.

Engine tuning

Despite the apparent complexity of the device at first glance, the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 engine has a built-in possibility of further refinement. If you really want to, you can carry out all the necessary actions and operations yourself, but it is still better to leave it in the hands of professionals, since in the absence of experience you can only make things worse and end up with expensive repairs.

The ability to boost the Lancer 9 engine is to increase the pressure in the turbine. To do this, it is necessary to bore the cylinders. When increasing power to 300 hp. With. overheating of the engine will not be a problem, the transmission will take this idea calmly, but braking system will need a little tightening.

Replacing the Lancer 9 engine - you can change 1.3 to 1.6, but this is not the most best option, since many parts will have to be adjusted again, and for the money spent you can buy another car.

The most “correct” (least risky) option for boosting the power unit is chip tuning - at minimal cost and with little risk you can get a good increase in power. But in the community of car owners there are numerous debates about the rationality of this type of tuning. Some say that this increases consumption and worsens the dynamics of the car, while others say that since there is a reserve of power, it simply needs to be realized. In any case, the issue is too complex and cannot be viewed from only one side. It all depends on what the driver wants.

Conclusion

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is an excellent car that combines survivability, maintainability, tuning capabilities, and also ensures safety and comfort for both passengers and drivers. The car is definitely worthy of the attention of both amateurs and masters of the automotive “craft.”

The Mitsubishi Lancer 9 has several engine models in its line of power plants. Thanks to this, the buyer has the opportunity to choose between maximum dynamism and efficiency.

Power units differ in design. They do not have significant flaws or shortcomings, so they do not cause any special problems to the car owner during operation.

Absence on-board computer in the nine

The Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is equipped from the factory with one of three sixteen-valve gasoline injection power plants:

• 4G13, 1.3 liter, single camshaft, SOHC design;
• 4G18, the volume of which is 1.6 liters, the camshaft is SOHC;
• 4G63, which is a 0-liter power plant with two DOHC camshafts.

The cylinder block of all Mitsubishi Lancer engines has a similar design. The only difference is the volume of the working chambers. The power plants have a vertical in-line arrangement of four cylinders. The main block is manufactured using a single casting method from high-strength cast iron. The crankcase contains five crankshaft supports made in the form of partitions. The cylinder blocks have special bosses necessary to accommodate power plant components and attachments.

There are slight differences between SOHC and DOHC engine cylinder blocks. It lies in the fact that engines with two camshafts have a pair of balancing balancing shafts. To place them in the cylinder block of DOHC engines, there are special seats for bearings.

There is also a difference between SOHC and DOHC engines in the methods for limiting the axial movement of the crankshaft. In the first case, flanges are used on the middle main journal, and in the second, fixation is made using two half-rings located in the seat of the middle main bearing.

The flywheel is only present on vehicles with manual transmission gear changes. It is the same for engines with one and two camshafts. In case automatic transmission Instead of the flywheel, a torque converter drive disk is installed.

The pistons of the 4G13, 4G18, 4G63 engines are made of an aluminum-based alloy. They have grooves for the oil scraper and two compression rings. There is a technological hole in the upper head of the connecting rod that allows oil to splash onto the bottom of the piston, cooling it. This increases the resource of the power plant. The connecting rod itself is made of steel. It has an I-section.

The crankcase ventilation system in Mitsubishi Lancer 9 engines is a closed type. In all operating modes of the power plant, a vacuum is formed in the crankcase. This reduces the risk of leaks through seals and seals.

Cylinder block

The engine is mounted in the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 on four supports. To reduce the amount of vibration transmitted to the body during operation of the power plant, special rubber cushions are used.

Comparison of SOHC and DOHC engine cylinder heads

There is a main difference between the cylinder heads of SOHC and DOHC engines in the number camshafts. At the same time, the number of valves per cylinder for power plants is the same and equals 4.

SOHC powertrain cylinder head

The camshaft of the 4G13 and 4G18 engines has five bearings. It actuates the valves using rocker arms. For compensation thermal gap hydraulic pushers are used. The exhaust valve rocker arms are double.

The 4G63 engine has two camshafts. One of them controls intake valves, and the other graduation. Each camshaft has six bearings.

The design of DOHC engines involves acting on the valves using push levers. The hydraulic tappets are screwed into the cylinder head. In addition to compensating for the thermal gap, they additionally serve as supports for the levers.

DOHC engine cylinder head

Despite the differences, the cylinder heads of SOHC and DOHC power units have some common features. They are cast from aluminum alloy. The intake and exhaust valves are located on opposite sides of the cylinder head. The hydraulic compensators of the 4G13, 4G18, 4G63 motors are connected by channels to the lubrication system of the power unit.

Main technical characteristics

Basic technical specifications power plants used on the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 are shown in the table below.

The fuel consumption of the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 in various configurations is shown in the table below.

Maximum speed and acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour depend not only on the power of the power plant, but also on which gearbox the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is equipped with. These technical characteristics can be found in more detail in the diagrams below.

Acceleration time to 100 kilometers per hour

Engine life

The power plants that are installed on the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 do not have significant design flaws. This allows the owner to drive the car long distances without major repairs.

The smallest 4G13 engine is capable of covering 250-300 thousand km. It is not particularly sensitive to fuel quality. Many car owners note that even with worn-out power units, you can drive for a long time without major repairs, accepting up to a liter of oil per 1000 km.

The 4G18 power unit is designed on the basis of the 4G13. It is also capable of providing 250-300 thousand km before overhaul. Due to greater thermal loads, compared to a 1.3-liter engine, the 1.6-liter engine is more sensitive to oil quality.

The service life of the 4G63 engine largely depends on operating conditions. A sporty driving style can damage the engine within 120-150 thousand km. An incorrectly reflashed control unit can reduce the life of the power unit to 60-80 thousand km. In case of measured driving and careful treatment of the car, the 4G63 engine will require repair only when the mileage exceeds 450-500 thousand km.

Typical problems of power units

The most common problem with a 1.3 liter engine is floating speed idle speed. This is due to the design features throttle valve. Also, many owners complain that the engine stalls when the mileage exceeds 120-150 thousand km. One of the main problems of the 4G13 is the timing drive. If the belt breaks, the piston bends the valve.

Engine Mitsubishi Lancer X 2.4 liters

Car owners have complaints about the 1.6-liter internal combustion engine due to increased consumption oils This is due to the early occurrence piston rings. You can get rid of the problem by decarbonizing or overhauling the power unit.

The distinctive feature of the 4G63 in the form of two balancing shafts often causes problems for drivers. Despite this, the engine is very reliable.

The feasibility of repair and replacement with a contract motor

During the operation of a Mitsubishi Lancer 9 car, the car owner may encounter a situation where most of the parts and components of the power plant have exhausted their service life. In this case, the owner has several options:

• Superficial cosmetic repairs. Suitable for pre-sale preparation, or in case of infrequent use of the car. The piston rings are decarbonized, parts and components that interfere with the performance of the power unit are changed. The cost of superficial troubleshooting ranges from 3 to 15 thousand rubles.
• Major renovation. Recommended if the car owner is the first owner. For major repairs, you will need to remove the motor. The cost of restoring an internal combustion engine is about 30 thousand rubles.
• Replacement with contract power unit. It’s better to take it from foreign car wreckers. A contract engine costs about 40-60 thousand rubles.
• Engine swap. The engine model changes if the previous power unit did not suit the owner according to some characteristics. The cost of the event ranges from 20 to 150 thousand rubles.

Tips for choosing a Mitsubishi Lancer 9 with various power plants

For sports driving enthusiasts, it is recommended to choose a Mitsubishi Lancer 9 with a 4G63 engine. In this case, it is necessary to inspect the car as carefully as possible before purchasing. Cars with a 2.0-liter power plant are most often in an extremely worn condition.

For those who like to save money, the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 with a 1.3 liter engine is most suitable. It handles confidently in traffic. Getting on the highway won't be a problem either.

If you want to own a car sporting nature It is also worth considering the Lancer 9 with a 1.6-liter power unit. It is often sold in better technical condition compared to cars with 4G63. Moreover, most parts are interchangeable with 4G13. This simplifies the process of repairing the power plant.

Mitsubishi Lancer – legendary car. It is known in all corners of the globe as one of the most reliable and unpretentious cars. It has been produced since 1973, has changed many generations, and has also been sold in most famous markets on the planet. In some markets the model was distributed under a different name. For example, the first generation in Canada was sold under the Plymouth brand, Dodge - in America, and not only in the USA. The generation discussed today was born back in 2000, was sold only in Japan and received the Cedia prefix in its name. The model acquired its usual appearance only in 2003 at the Moscow Motor Show. The Lancer 9 engine, which had already become legendary - 4G63, also arrived there. What kind of engines was equipped with the Lancer IX, how did they differ from each other and what broke most often in them?

Lancer Evolution. Legend. By the way, its turbocharged 4G63T was not too different from the serial one

1.3 (4G13)

This is one of the most compact engines from Mitsubishi. It has a volume of 1.3 liters, due to which it is capable of providing up to 90 horsepower output. In addition to the Lancer, it was installed on other models of the company, such as Colt, Carisma, Dingo and Space Star. All these cars are compact hatchbacks or sedans, which means high power Their movement is not necessary for normal speed. Their main task is to work properly, transport the driver and passengers to their destination and consume little fuel. With the last point, everything is quite good: in the city the power unit consumes no more than 8.5 liters of gasoline, when driving only on the highway, consumption decreases to 5.2 liters, and in the combined cycle the figure becomes equal to 6.5 liters. Good performance for a simple city car. Side effect Such efficiency has become sluggish: acceleration to 100 km/h takes more than 13 seconds, and the top speed here is only 171 km/h. A manual transmission saves him: with an automatic, the performance would be even worse.

Simple and reliable as a sledgehammer 4G13

Reliability. In general, the Lancer's 1.3-liter engine is reliable and does not cause any complaints about normal operation and regular maintenance. The cylinder block here is made of cast iron, which made it possible to achieve good strength indicators. Its head can be 12 or 16 valves, with all valves located on the same camshaft, a system called SOHC. Of the serious things, attention should be paid to valve adjustment and the condition of the timing belt. It is recommended to carry out the valve adjustment procedure once every 90,000 kilometers, as well as replacing the timing belt. But, it’s worth changing the belt a little earlier, 5 thousand before the required number is set on the odometer, since when the belt breaks, the 4G13 bends the valve.

The 1.3-liter unit has a small list of faults, which is completely identical to the 4G15 engine, so there is no point in devoting a separate paragraph to it.

1. The revs fluctuate at 4G13. This occurs due to the throttle valve, the design of which does not allow it to serve for decades. This can be solved by simply replacing the unit with a new one or a modified one with an increased resource.
2. Strong vibrations transmitted from the engine to the body. No one knows how to deal with them, but if they occur, you should check the condition of the engine mounts; perhaps they are worn out.
3. Difficult launch. Especially in cold weather. Due to the design features, the engine has difficulty getting a cold start even in the warm season, which can sometimes cause the spark plugs to flood.
4. Like all gasoline power units, closer to the 200 thousand mark on the odometer, the 4G13 and 4G15 begin to consume oil. The problem is standard and can be solved by simply replacing the piston rings or doing a major overhaul.

1.6 (4G18)

The 1.6-liter engine was one of the most popular modifications of the Lancer 9. Its output is not much different from the 1.3-liter: only 10-20 more horsepower, that is, 98, but significantly more torque - 134 Newton meters. This already allows you to install automatic transmission gears and even feel comfortable behind the wheel. Of course, the consumption and dynamics of a manual will be better, but, as you know, comfort requires additional costs. So, the consumption in the city of a car with an automatic transmission is 10.3 liters, in a mixed mode the figure decreases to 8 liters, and when driving only on the highway - to 6.5 liters. The mechanics show significantly best results: 8.8 liters of 92 gasoline per 100 kilometers in the city, 6.8 if you drive around the city and periodically get on the highway, and if you constantly drive only long distances, then consumption can drop to 6.5 liters.

If we talk about dynamics, in both cases it is quite mediocre: the Lancer 9 1.6 engine accelerates the car to 100 kilometers per hour in the same almost 14 seconds as the 1.3, if we are talking about an automatic, and in 11.8 seconds if accelerating with a manual . The maximum speed for automatic and manual transmissions is 173 km/h and 183 km/h, respectively. This indicator is quite easy to improve: just screw a turbine to the engine. It is quite difficult to do this in modern conditions, as well as to improve performance without supercharging. Sports shafts, intake and exhaust from Greddy, injectors from the 4G64 engine, as well as a 16-valve DOHC head fit here like family. But don’t let the cast-iron cylinder block deceive you: blowing 1 bar here won’t work without consequences. This is not a 4G63 block, which is ideal for tuning. If we talk about reliability, then in this parameter 4G18 is identical to the thirteenth and fifteenth options, since there are practically no differences between them, except for volume. By the way, it is recommended to fill the engines of the 4G1 line with branded oils. lubricants with a temperature index of 10W-40 or 5W-30, which is well suited for the harsh Russian climate.

Some Lancer owners 9 with a 1.6 engine can’t stand it and they put a turbine on it. This is what comes of it

2.0 (4G63)

A truly legendary power unit produced by Mitsubishi Motors. This is a representative of the Sirius 4G6 motor group, which first appeared on the market in 1981. It is also based on a cast iron 4-cylinder block with two balancer shafts, which is covered by a single-shaft head with 8 valves. A little later it was replaced with a 16-valve DOHC, and this happened already in 1987. Unlike the engines of the 4G1 line, there are hydraulic compensators, which means additional valve adjustment every 90,000 kilometers is not required. But the belt also needs to be replaced: the timing drive here is the same as that of its younger brothers. Currently, similar motors are produced by some Asian manufacturers under license, for example, Hyundai still installs such power units in most of its models.

The Lancer 2.0 engine is most widely known to the world for its turbocharged version - 4G63T. It was with this “heart” that well-known rally cars took prizes and won championships. But is it possible to install a turbine on a regular 4G63 and reach the performance of the turbo version? Can. But for its normal operation, it will be necessary to install the same shafts, pan, connecting rod-piston system, liners, intake and exhaust, cylinder head and other little things as in the 4G63T.

It costs quite a lot of money, but in the end you will only get a stock Lancer Evolution 9. Therefore, you should not delude yourself with the identity of the block, or invest even more money and build a truly monstrous engine. There are many examples on the network of building a 4G63T with 500, 600, even 1000 horsepower.

Here it is 4G63t on the Lancer EVO, the civilian version of this engine, which still continues to please the owners of the ninth generation Lancer

The standard output of the two-liter Lancer 9 engine is not amazing: only 135 power and 176 Newton-meters of torque. With an automatic transmission, this Mitsubishi Lancer 9 engine accelerates to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. On the mechanics, the time will decrease to 9.8 seconds. Now it’s clear why owners are so eager to install a turbine. Fuel consumption is 12.6/9.3/7.3 liters for an automatic transmission and about 11.7/8.5/6.6 liters for a version with a manual transmission. Quite comfortable indicators for a good city sedan. Among the prominent problems it is worth noting the following:

• A problem with balancer shafts that occurs when the oil supply to the shaft bearings is incorrect. Because of it, friction increases and there is a risk of bearing wedge, which can also lead to timing belt breakage, accompanied by bending of the valves.
• Damage to hydraulic compensators caused by low-quality oil. As a rule, it can only be corrected by replacing worn parts and engine oil with one that meets the recommendations. The service life of the expansion joints, by the way, is 50,000 kilometers, and it is recommended to fill the oil depending on the climate: the range of supported temperature indices allows this to be done without harm to the power unit.
• Strong vibration transmitted throughout the body. On the Lancer 9 63 series engine, the left engine mount quickly fails.
• Floating speed may be due to low-quality fuel, clogged injectors, deceiving the temperature sensor system, a broken idle speed sensor or a clogged throttle valve. It can be corrected either by cleaning clogged elements or by replacing faulty parts.

Gasoline engine Mitsubishi Lancer 9 1.6 l. with a cast-iron cylinder block and a timing belt, it became quite popular in our country in the mid-2000s. The engine has quite simple design. Despite the 16-valve timing mechanism, there is only one camshaft. We'll talk about all the features of the power unit further.

Engine design Lancer 9 1.6 l.

Engine Mitsubishi 4G18 with a volume of 1.6 liters appeared in the process of modernizing and increasing the displacement of the base 4G13 engine with a volume of 1.3 liters, which was developed back in 1983. But before the 1.6 liter version there was a 1.5 liter 4G15 model; the 1.5 and 1.6 liter Mitsubishi engines are structurally identical. The difference in working volume is only due to different moves piston But we will not delve into the history of the formation of this motor.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 has under the hood an inline 4-cylinder 16 valve engine with a cast iron block and a timing belt. A design feature can be called SOHC V16 - an overhead camshaft with 16 valves. Electronic system Delphi MT20U2 engine management, this is a multi-point fuel injection system, direct ignition without the use of a distributor.

Lancer 9 1.6 l engine cylinder head.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 cylinder head has a rather interesting design. The camshaft is inserted inside the head, which is a large bearing housing for the camshaft. The camshaft cams run onto rocker arms, which are mounted on top and secured to common axles. Until a certain moment, this design did not have hydraulic compensators. To adjust the gap, it was necessary to rotate a special adjusting bolt and nut. But a little later, hydraulic compensators were introduced into the design. The bulk of cars that were sold in Russia through official dealers has hydraulic compensators.

Timing drive Mitsubishi Lancer 9 1.6 l.

The timing drive, as we have already mentioned, is belt driven. The design of the drive is quite simple and includes a crankshaft pulley, a camshaft pulley and a tension roller with a special tension spring. After aligning the marks, it is enough to loosen the roller bolt and the spring itself will tension the belt, after which the tension roller bolt must be tightened to a torque of 20-26 Nm. The belt is replaced every 90 thousand kilometers. When the timing belt breaks, the valves bend.

Engine characteristics of Mitsubishi Lancer 9 1.6 l.

• Working volume – 1584 cm3
• Number of cylinders – 4
• Number of valves – 16
• Cylinder diameter – 76 mm
• Piston stroke – 87.3 mm
• Timing drive - belt (SOHC)
• Power hp (kW) – 98 (72) at 5000 rpm. per minute
• Torque – 150 Nm at 4000 rpm. per minute
• Maximum speed – 183 km/h

• Fuel type – gasoline AI-92
• Fuel consumption in the city – 8.8 liters
• Fuel consumption in the combined cycle – 6.7 liters
• Fuel consumption on the highway – 5.5 liters

An engine of this design can be found not only on Mitsubishi models, but also on some Chinese cars. In China, this engine is produced under license by the BYD concern.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 sedan – body specifications

Four-door, three-volume Mitsubishi sedan Lancer IX belongs to class “C” cars. Special attention the creators of the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 to the safety characteristics of the body is not accidental. At one time (1998), Lancer sales in Europe failed precisely because of the low safety of the body. Thank God, the Japanese came to their senses in time and by the time the Lancer IX was released, this shortcoming was completely eliminated. The car body cage is equipped with a rigid frame, with additional ribs installed on the sides and in the doors. Also in the body structure there are components and parts with pre-programmed distribution of force load during collisions and crushable elements. Body warranty from through corrosion-12 years old.

The interior of the Lancer IX sedans, which were officially sold in Mitsubishi dealerships, is spartan and laconic. The equipment of the “gray” models (re-exported from the USA and Asian countries) looks much brighter and richer. As a rule, there is a high-quality multimedia system with an LCD monitor, a leather interior, stylish wood-look inserts, a Momo steering wheel, an electric sunroof and other attributes of a high-end configuration. Such cars are still popular today. secondary market. They are easy to recognize by their Mirage, Ralliart or Virage badges.

Disadvantages of the Mitsubishi Lancer IX (sedan):

“Brittle” varnish coating.

Easy to crease front bumper mounts.

Lancer IX rating in American crash tests is 4 stars. Euro NCAP testing has not been carried out for this model.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 technical specifications - engine, transmission, chassis

Ruler Mitsubishi engines Lancer IX make up gasoline internal combustion engines three series - 4G1, 4G6 and 4G9.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 series 4G1 engines are part of the Mitsubishi Orion family of naturally aspirated engines:

4G15 – 92-horsepower engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. It consumes an average of 6.3 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Not supplied to the Russian market. Works with both a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic.

4G18 – four-cylinder 98-horsepower engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. According to statistics, this is the most popular engine for Mitsubishi Lancer 9 sold in the Russian Federation. Average fuel consumption per 100 km is 6.7 liters. Adapted to work with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-position automatic transmission.

All Mitsubishi Orion engines used in the Lancer 9 sedan are built using the SONC (single camshaft) design. Toxicity standards – Euro 4. On Russian market After 2005, the automatic version of the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan 9 with a 4G18 engine was also equipped with a 6-band INVECS III CVT transmission (600 copies sold).

Motors of the 4G6 series belong to the Mitsubishi Sirius family. These include:

4G63 – four-cylinder, 135-horsepower engine with a volume of 2.0 liters, with two camshafts (DONC). Average fuel consumption per 100 km is 7.6 liters. It was presented on the Russian market only with a 5-speed manual transmission.

4G69 – SONC engine with a volume of 2.4 liters and a power of 162 horsepower. This engine was created specifically for the American market and only for the Lancer 9 automatic version (Ralliart) with a 6-speed automatic transmission as a transmission. Average fuel consumption is 8.8 liters/100 km.

A series of 4G9 engines created using MIVEC technology, which provides electronic synchronization of cylinder operation in 2 different modes - separately at low and high speeds - is represented by the 4G93GDITurbo engine. This 160-horsepower power unit with a volume of 1.8 liters is capable of accelerating the sedan to a speed of 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds. At the same time average consumption fuel is 6.6 liters/100 km. Unfortunately, the Lancer IX sedan with this engine was not officially delivered to Russia.
