2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

Lancer Evolution is powered by a proven and potent version of the 2.0-liter, 4G63, DOHC, four-cylinder engine design that has been steadily refined for improved durability, flexibility and peak power over the past decade. The engine's reciprocating assembly has been suitably reinforced with forged metal components to better withstand the increased cylinder pressures of forced induction.


Fuel delivery for the four-cylinder engine is handled by a multi-point fuel injection with a computer control that also governs ignition timing. This single ECU is programmed with fuel and ignition maps that help maximize the engine's useable torque across the rpm range while still meeting stringent LEV1-LEV emissions requirements.

The Lancer Evolution sedan uses a large-diameter (60.5 mm) free-flowing exhaust system that reduces back pressure and includes a catalytic converter and two sound-absorbing pre-mufflers. The low restriction main muffler utilizes a built-in back-pressure variable valve that reduces exhaust noise at low engine speeds and improves exhaust flow at higher speed. The output for the U.S.-specification 2.0-liter engine is 271 horsepower at 6,500 rpm, and 273 lbs-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm from a vehicle that requires a strict diet of synthetic oil.
