Mitsubishi 6G7x engine

The 6G7x series is a V6 piston engine from Mitsubishi Motors. Three displacement variants have been produced with both SOHC and DOHC. MIVEC variable valve timing was also fitted, and the 2.5 and 3.0 L versions were also produced with gasoline direct injection. Modern versions feature a one-piece cast crankshaft and cast aluminum intake manifold.

The 6G72 is a 3.0 L (2972 cc) engine. Bore is 91.1 mm and stroke is 76 mm. SOHC 12-valve, SOHC 24-valve, and DOHC 24-valve versions have been produced.

The latest version is used in the Eclipse and Galant. Output in 2004 is 210 hp (157 kW) at 5500 RPM with 205 ft·lbf (278 N·m) of torque at 4000 RPM. It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum SOHC cylinder heads. It uses MFI fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with roller followers and features fracture-split forged steel connecting rods.

6G74 GDI

The gasoline direct injection version of the 6G74 was launched in April 1997 as the first GDI V6 engine ever produced. It differed from the basic 6G74 in many ways apart from its unique fuel injection system — it had a crown-curved rather than flat combustion chamber, upright intake ports rather than angled, and a 10.4:1 rather than 10.0:1 compression ratio. Mitsubishi claimed 30% better fuel economy, a 30% reduction in emmissions, and higher power outputs than Diesels.


6G75

The 6G75 is a 3.8 L (3828 cc) version with 95 mm bore and 90 mm stroke. Output is 230 hp (172 kW) at 5250 RPM with 250 ft·lbf (339 N·m) of torque at 4000 RPM. It has forged steel connecting rods.

Applications:

* 2006-present Mitsubishi Eclipse
* Mitsubishi Galant
* Mitsubishi Montero
* Mitsubishi Endeavor
* Mitsubishi 380 (175 kW @ 5250 RPM with 343Nm @ 4000 rpm)

Mitsubishi 6A1x engine

The 6A1x is a series of V6 engines from Mitsubishi Motors, found in their small and medium vehicles through the 1990s. They ranged from 1.6 to 2.5 L in size, and came with a variety of induction methods and cylinder head designs & configurations.
