The 4B11T engine is a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine developed by Mitsubishi Motors. It was first introduced in the 2007 Lancer Evolution X and has since been used in several other vehicles, including the Outlander Sport, RVR, and ASX. The 4B11T is a 2.0-liter engine that produces up to 295 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. It is an impressive powerplant that has become popular among performance enthusiasts due to its high power output and relatively low cost.
The 4B11T engine features a lightweight aluminum block with an integrated cylinder head design. This design helps reduce weight while also increasing rigidity for improved performance. The engine also features a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) valvetrain with four valves per cylinder for improved airflow and combustion efficiency. The 4B11T also utilizes Mitsubishi’s MIVEC variable valve timing system which helps optimize power delivery throughout the rev range.
The 4B11T is equipped with a turbocharger which helps boost power output significantly compared to naturally aspirated engines of similar displacement. The turbocharger is capable of producing up to 17 psi of boost pressure which helps the engine produce its impressive power figures. The turbocharger is mated to an intercooler which helps reduce air temperature before it enters the intake manifold, further improving performance and reliability.
The 4B11T utilizes Mitsubishi’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) which allows for precise tuning of the engine’s parameters such as ignition timing, fuel delivery, and boost pressure. This allows for custom tuning of the engine for maximum performance or fuel economy depending on the driver’s needs or preferences. The ECU can also be used to monitor various parameters such as oil temperature, coolant temperature, air/fuel ratio, and exhaust gas temperature which can help diagnose any potential issues with the engine before they become serious problems.
Overall, the 4B11T is an impressive engine that offers excellent performance at an affordable price point. Its lightweight aluminum block construction helps reduce weight while its DOHC valvetrain and MIVEC variable valve timing system help optimize power delivery throughout the rev range. Its turbocharger provides significant power gains over naturally aspirated engines while its ECU allows for precise tuning of various parameters for maximum performance or fuel economy depending on the driver’s needs or preferences. All in all, it’s no wonder why so many performance enthusiasts have chosen this powerful yet affordable engine as their go-to choice when building their dream car or truck!
