The turbocharged 4g63t engine, developed by Mitsubishi Motors, is considered truly iconic by motorists around the world because of the limitless number of modifications, the choice of spare parts, an excellent resource, durability and maintainability. But the main thing is the fantastic possibilities of forcing and tuning the engine, which is used not only by “garage” craftsmen, but also by branded ateliers. The engine was produced in 1987-2007, has a resource exceeding an average of 300 thousand and a tuning potential exceeding 1000 “horses”.
