Design

edit

It employed a hemisphericalcylinder head,chain-drivensingle overhead camshaft (SOHC)and eightvalves(two per cylinder). United States passenger car versions had a small secondary intake valve referred to as the "Jet Valve". This valve induced swirl in the intake charge, enabling the use of leaner fuel/air mixtures for lower emissions. It was designed as a cartridge containing the valve spring and seat which simply screwed into a threaded hole in the head, similar to aspark plugbut inside the cam cover. Therocker armsfor the intake valve were widened on the valve end to accommodate the cartridge, which was equipped with a very soft valve spring in order to avoid wear on the camshaft intake lobe. Modifications to the head were thereby reduced as the Jet Valve negated the necessity for a three-valve-per-cylinder design.[2]

In 1975, theAstron 80introduced a system dubbed "Silent Shaft": the first use of twinbalance shaftsin a modern engine. It followed the designs ofFrederick Lanchester,whose original patents Mitsubishi had obtained, and proved influential asFiat/Lancia,SaabandPorscheall licensed this technology.

The4D5 engineis a range of four-cylinderbelt-driven overhead camshaftdiesel engineswhich were part of the "Astron" family, and introduced in 1980 in the then new fifth generationGalant.As the first turbodiesel to be offered in a Japanese passenger car, it proved popular in the emergingSUVandminivanmarkets where Mitsubishi was highly successful, until superseded by the4M4 rangein 1993. However, production of the 4D5 (4D56) continued throughout the 1990s as a lower-cost option than the more modern powerplants. Until now it is still in production, but made into a modern powerplant by putting a common rail direct injection fuel system into the engine.

4G51 (1.85 liters)

edit

The4G51displaces 1.9 L (1,850 cc).

Applications:

4G52 (2.0 liters)

edit

The4G52displaces 2.0 L (1,995 cc). Peak power for a 1975 Canter is 100 PS (74 kW), but power increased to as much as 125 PS (92 kW) for the twin-carb version fitted to the Galant GTO GSR and A115 Galant GS-II.

Used an 84 mm × 90 mm (3.31 in × 3.54 in) bore and stroke. In Australia this engine was used in the Sigma, Scorpion and L200.

Applications:

4G53 (2.4 liters)

edit

TheSOHCeight-valve4G53displaces 2.4 L (2,384 cc), with bore & stroke at 88 mm × 98 mm (3.46 in × 3.86 in). Peak power is 110 PS (81 kW) at 5000 rpm,[4]as fitted to the Rosa bus or the Canter cabover truck. This engine shares its dimensions with the contemporaryFuso 4DR1diesel engine.

Applications

4G54 (2.6 liters)

edit

TheSOHCeight-valve4G54(also known as theG54B) displaces 2.6 L (2,555 cc), with bore & stroke at 91.1 mm × 98 mm (3.59 in × 3.86 in). The G54B for the US market had a cylinder head with additional jet valves to improve emissions (MCA-Jet system). The engine was fitted to various Mitsubishi models from 1978 to 1997 and to the American ChryslerK-carsand their derivatives between 1981 and 1987. It was primarily set uplongitudinallyfor use inrear-wheel driveandall-wheel driveplatforms but also as atransverse enginein thefront-wheel driveplatform of theMitsubishi MagnaandChrysler K platform.Chrysler commonly marketed the engine "Hemi,"whereas the Australian-made version was marketed as the" Astron II "and featured"Balance Shaft"technology, which was subsequently licensed to Porsche and other automakers. The original engine featured a Mikuni two-barrelcarburetorwith a secondary vacuum actuator; later versions adopted EFI. Chrysler commonly paired this engine with itsA4703-speed automatic transmission; in Australia, Mitsubishi adapted it to a 5-speed manual transmission and its "ELC" (Electronic Control) 4-speed automatic transmission, featuring electronic overdrive. Chrysler eventually replaced the 4G54 with its own 2.5 L engine, whereas Mitsubishi replaced it with a 2.4 L engine codenamed4G64.
