Mitsubishi 4G61T specs: 1.6L (98 ci) 4-cylinder, 82.3 x 75 mm (3.2402 x 2.9528 in) bore and stroke. Built 1989. Used in the Mitsubishi Mirage.
The Mitsubishi 4G61T is oversquare — the 3.2402" bore exceeds the 2.9528" stroke by 9.7% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 2.9528" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 8,150 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 24.5 ci (401 cc).
It is one of 3 engines in the Mitsubishi 98ci family, all of them 98 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement.
