The Mitsubishi 4B4 engine is the newest all-alloy inline four-cylinder engines from Mitsubishi Motors, based on the 4A9 engine from 2004. But in terms of performance it can replace the bigger 4B1 engine.
Engine family characteristics
[edit]This new engine was developed in order to satisfy new performance, weight and ecological standards. It is derived from the older 4A91 engine. The cars that employ this engine demonstrate fall mainly in the middle of the pack of city SUVs and CUVs. Peak torque arrives at an unusually low 1800 rpm and maintains a flat plateau up to 4500 rpm.

[edit]Specifications
[edit]| Engine type | Inline turbo/intercooled 4-cylinder DOHC 16v MIVEC |
| Displacement | 1.5 L |
| Bore x Stroke | 75 mm × 84.8 mm (2.95 in × 3.34 in) |
| Compression ratio | 10.0:1 |
| Fuel system | Direct Injection (high pressure), port injection (low pressure). System has a normal fuel pump that feeds a shared fitting on the high pressure pump. One line off the fitting feeds the port injector fuel rail, then feeds the low pressure side of the high pressure pump. Both fuel rails are return-less with the high pressure fuel rail ending with a pressure sensor. |
| Peak power | 120 kW (161 hp) at 5500 rpm |
| Peak torque | 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) at 1800 to 4500 rpm |
