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.

4G91

The 4G91 uses a bore and stroke of {{convert|78.4x77.5|mm|2|abbr=on}} for a total displacement of {{convert|1496|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}}. With a 9.5:1 compression ratio and DOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder head and multi-point EFI, this engine produces {{convert|115|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,000 rpm and {{convert|135|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 5,000 rpm.{{cite book | title = Automobil Revue 1994 | editor-last = Büschi | editor-first = Hans-Ulrich | publisher = Hallwag AG | location = Berne, Switzerland | language = German, French | page = 388 | volume = 89 |date=10 March 1994 | isbn = 3-444-00584-9 }} 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 {{convert|97|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,000 rpm and {{convert|126|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 3,500 rpm.

Applications

4G92

The 4G92 displaces {{convert|1597|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}}. It first appeared in the late-1991 Japanese-spec Mirage RS and Super R in DOHC form. The 4G92 is basically a version of the 4G91 with the bore increased to {{convert|81|mm|2|abbr=on}}. In the original DOHC 16V form it produces {{convert|120|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}. Later, a fuel-efficient SOHC version was added, but the 4G92 is best known in its high-performance MIVEC equipped DOHC version, which fully replaced "ordinary" DOHC in 1993. Power output was raised as high as {{convert|170|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}, as found in the JDM Mirage Cyborg-ZR and 1992 Lancer MR, making it one of the most powerful 1.6-litre naturally aspirated engines. A modular displacement (MD) version of the 4G92 MIVEC was also produced – MD is Mitsubishi's cylinder deactivation system which helps improve fuel consumption.

4G93

File:1995 Mitsubishi 4G93T engine in Libero GT.jpg.]]

The 4G93 is a {{convert|1834|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} engine available in both SOHC and DOHC versions. Turbocharged variants are also produced. In mid 1996 Mitsubishi released a gasoline direct injection (GDI) version of the 4G93. This GDI model saw a production of over a million units though it was a heavy polluter therefore only sold in the Japanese market. A partially cleaned up version (with less power) was later sold in Europe, and was among the first of the modern GDI engines. It brought good fuel economy and, if well serviced, long engine life.
