The 4G69-SOHC-MIVEC engine employs the new Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing & lifting Electronic Control system (MIVEC). The following are main design changes:
  • The cylinder head is designed to reexamine the port profile and to improve the coolant flow.
  • The rocker cover is designed to reduce noise by using aluminum die-casting.
  • The cylinder block is designed to be lightweight.
  • The piston diameter is larger and has molybdenum coating.
  • The connecting rod is designed to be lightweight.
  • The crankshaft is designed to be lightweight.
  • The counter balancer shaft is designed to be lightweight.
  • The crankshaft pulley hub is made aluminum.
