an engine built by mitsubishi during the DSM partnership between
mitsu and chrysler. the
4g63 came in 2 variations, a turbocharged 195hp
1g or 215
2g engine for the upper DSM models, and a n/a 135hp engine for the 1g
DSM's.
it had 3 major designs:
89-92 had the strongest bottom end with the big rods capable of handling 400hp stock, even with
high mileage.
92.5-94 had a 1g 7 bolt engine. not as strong as the 6 bolt, but still a stout engine.
95+ (2g) this engine is garbage IMO. 35% of these have been reported to
crankwalk. they have thinner rods than the 1g 6 bolts, and the head and turbo are designed for mid range power, sacrificing top end power. it may put out 20 more horses stock over the 1g engine, but the 1g
14b can hold 300hp without running out of breath, unlike the measly 2g T25 that cant hold anything over 250hp.
many people swap their
2g's for 1g 6 bolt engines to eliminate the worry of crankwalk.
honda guy: yo man i got a ex with vtec.

honda guy: ill smoke you.
