hello ppl i am trying to get some info on my car maybe you guys in australia may have it its a 4g15 dohc 1998 sedan lancer umm the car is assembled in japan so they call it mx-xtra or model:e-ck2a srum could someone help me with some info on this car if possible? thanking you in advance

 

is that the same engine thats in the hgyundai excels?
im pretty sure they have a 4g15 with DOHC, roughly era 95-98 ?

 

Isn't the 4g15 the 1.5l engine from the US Mirage? I'm pretty sure it is. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: They're SOHC though.

 

Yup, the US Mirage DE's engine is the 4G15 SOHC. There is not DOHC version of this engine in the US...

However, I think they have DOHC 4G15 in Asia as well as in OZ/NZ.

 

Sorry we never set our eyes on the DOHC version of the 4G15. We did however have the 4G15 SOHC which is the same engine with single not double over head cam. If you have any questions, I am sure we could answer them, as the vast majority of the information is the same.

 

i've gotta SOHC 1.5 in my aussie lancer

 

hey I also have this particular engine in a 1996 lancer MX-touring with the invecs II transmission....this car also has 4 wheel disc brakes with abs.....checking on performance upgrades or viable engine swap with 1.6 mivec or 4g63

"Jap Spec" 4g15 DOHC 16 valve

Corolla Super-charger, VR4 fridge, Apexi comp., Magna Injectors, Pod filter and 2.25" 5Zigen exhaust...

A power figure of 80kw @ Wheels ... not the greatest.

 

I will go and purchase the mag and have a read. Poor buggar, I sure hope he did not pay too much for that sort of power.

 

ok guys thanks alot for the info, the info i am really looking for is maintaince info like how ofeten you change timing belt, tranny fliud that kinda stuf could someone post that info here fo me or tell me where i can get a manual online thanks

 

I am sure that the timing belt would be changed every 100,000 kms, and all oil fluids would be changed every 15,000km, but I would look to do this at least every 10,000 or every six months, whichever comes first.

 

i must be wierd, cause i always change my oil every 5 grand and water every 15.. but i guess thats me..

i know the mitsi manuals suggest turbo models are every 5000 for oil.

 

Yes rexhunta you are correct Mitsubishi turbo engines should have their oil changed every 5000km religiously. As redstorm's vehicle is not a turbo and is a 98 model the service intervals are set at every 15000km (not 10000 which was previously the case in the CC Lancer). I do agree that to keep the engine in excellent condition, changing the oil every 5000km helps, but is not necessary. I would, but ultimately it is up to the user.

 

i kinda do baby my lil poory 1500 carby don't i.. but least i know it'll go when i need her too

i guess it comes from owning a 1969 hillman hunter, the more oil i used to put in it, the more it would start so i changed it every 5-6 thousand kays.

 

the question with the timing belt, isnt it every 100,000 k's ?
