sportbacks are 4G64????
That makes no sense at all.
the 4G64 is the Eclipse and Galant motor with NO MIVEC. The 4G69 is the MIVEC motor. Dont see why that would change with a body style.

 

2.4 is not a 4g63 its a mivec engine

 

er....they have non mivec for the sportbacks

 

no I dont believe that they do offer a non MIVEC for the sportback. Both the regular sportback and the RA sportback offer the MIVEC 4G69 motor, the differences are in wheels and suspension, NOT the motor.

 

OK, just double checked and the sportback does NOT offer anything other than the MIVEC. For some reason they rate the LS at 160 hp and the RA at 162 hp, but they are both technically the same motor.

 

there are 2 different 2.4 liter motors. The MIVEC engine code is 4G69 and is offered in all Rallart models and also in the LS sportback

the other is the 4G64 and is in the 3g Eclipse and the new Galant models. Also included in the 96-99 Eclipse Spyder non turbo

4G63 is teh engine code for all turbo Eclipses and the Evo as well as a few other cars.

 

The regular sportback Lancer does not have the same "sport-tuned" exhaust as the Ralliart. That enhancement adds 2 horsepower on the Ralliart versions.

 

The 4G69 is very different from the rest of the 4G engine family, hence the jump from 64 to 69.
