Mitsubishi’s BEST ENGINE ever? Let’s talk about the 4G63

The Mitsubishi 4G63 isn’t just one of the greatest engines Mitsubishi ever built — it might be the greatest 4-cylinder engine of all time. In this episode of KONIG’s Engine Anatomy, we break down the legendary turbocharged powerhouse that helped define an entire generation of performance cars.

From dominating the World Rally Championship with Tommi Mäkinen and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, to becoming a staple in drag racing, street builds, and high-horsepower projects around the world, the 4G63 earned its reputation through decades of proven performance.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The history and evolution of the 4G63
  • Why the engine became such a tuning icon
  • The engineering that made it so durable and powerful
  • Common weak points and limitations
  • Its rally heritage and WRC dominance
  • Why enthusiasts still respect the 4G63 today

Whether you’re an Evo fan, DSM enthusiast, rally fan, or just love legendary engines, this is one Engine Anatomy episode you don’t want to miss.

The Hype Is Right | Ep 7 – SRT4, SENTRA SE-R, ECLIPSE 4G, RALLIART, SKY

On this episode of The Hype Is Right, Dave Pratte from Speed Academy, Gregg Bucell from Koruworks, Paco Ibarra from 2F Performance, and Dakota from Fitment Industries tell us whether or not they think that these arguably terrible cars – the Dodge Neon SRT-4, Nissan Sentra SE-R, Mitsubishi Eclipse (4G), Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, and Saturn Sky – are “Under Hyped”, “Just Right”, or “Over-Hyped.”

“I’ve never heard a more pissed off 4-cylinder in my life!”
– Dakota on the SRT-4

“The Eclipse is that poor car that started out so cool…and then they made this car.”
– Gregg on the 4G Eclipse

“Way over-hyped…because, frankly, those things were kinda hot garbage.”
– Dave on the Sentra SE-R

“…this was a German roadster that somehow made it to America under Saturn’s brand, and it’s a great car!”
– Paco on the Saturn Sky
