I've never seen Mitsubishi use variant codes to denote a change like DOHC in the case of the V6's. Hell, they still label the GDI 4G93, simply as 4G93 and the difference between the 1.8L we see in 'rages and the GDI in the Cedias is huuuuge. Same goes for the the overseas versions of the 'G93 that have DOHC heads like in the Virage.

 

To add to the fun:
6A13 2.5l V6(can be SOHC or DOHC TT)
6A12 2.0l V6 DOHC MIVEC or non-MIVEC

 

True, which is why you will hear things like 4G63T, or 6G72TT which would denote turbo models. Also, DSM guys sometimes see the code 4G63BT. I have no idea what the B denotes, but it shows up for all years of turbo DSM's 90-99. Only the general code gets stamped on the engine plaque, but there are more detailed codes for the different motors you speak of. The 6G72 in a Montero Sport is longitudinal and makes far less horspower and torque then the one in a GT Eclipse, but they are of course, very different.

 

6G72 are 3.0L SOHC while 6G74 are the DOHC 3.0L variant, you add a T for turbo like 6G74T, there are no turbos for the 6G72 SOHC. The Montero sport is not a longitudinal(in-line?) 6 but a V6. 6G72 were the early engines for montero, diamante, sigma and galant and some hyundai sonata with V6's.

 

Longitudinal denotes the way that the engine is positioned in regards to the front axel, not the same as an inline.

 

thanks street....beat me to it.

 

hmm... me beat Cup with a right answer... what else is new... LOL. I kinda figured it'd have been the other way around, seriously.

 

Street and Cup already put you in check for the longitudinal part, but there's more. There is a 6G72 DOHC twin turbo and it is under the hood of every 3000GT/GTO VR-4 ever made, there was also a DOHC NT model in the old Diamantes (91-96, I think). There's also a couple of different 3.0L 6G72 SOHC used currently in a variety of Mitsubishis (Eclipses, Galants and ES and LS Montero Sports) The 6G74 is the 3.5L engine found in Montero Sport XLS and the defunct Limited and Montero's up until '02.
the current '03 Montero (and the Endeavor) uses a 3.8L 6G75.

Anyway, the point is just a simple designation of "6G72" stamped on the plack could mean anything from a tranverse mounted 140 hp 2.5L V6 in a Chrysler LeBaron to a 320hp twin turbo VR-4 monster or a longitudinal 170 hp SUV engine. There are just other subcodes that aren't commonly known.

 

wow what a head ache all that seems i think hondas easyier i know with that all d series parts are interchange able and all b series parts are interchange able but this is nut's lol so how do find a dohc head for my lancer block my 4g94

 

A 4G93 swap is possible, but, take into account that it'd require major CPU changes and such.

 

does any one know what motors will fit in the 2002 lancers for a motor swap?

 

4G93. Maybe. That's it.

 

Oh the 4G93's will fit granted they face the same direction (intake on right side of the bay) but getting all the parts etc, is the hard part. 4G93T's out of the Lancer GSR's, MIVECs out of the Asti's, hm...that's about it off the top of my head. Of course, all the fun and sundry other lesser known variants that exist.

 

I was just commenting in general. For the most part, fitting a '93 would be a step down on the two reasons for doing an engine swap: 1) more initial available horsepower, 2) more upgrades available. I thought that was blatant by my filipancy.

 

does any one know a 4g63T will fit in our lancer? i guess not huh...
