The '''Cyclone V6''' engine is a series of V6 piston engines from [[Mitsubishi]] Motors. Five displacement variants have been produced with both single- and double- overhead camshaft layouts. [[MIVEC]] variable valve timing has also been implemented in some versions, and the 2.5 and 3.0 L versions were also available with gasoline direct injection. Modern versions feature a one-piece cast crankshaft and cast aluminum intake manifold.

==6G71==

The 6G71 is a 2.0 L (1998 cc) version with a 74.7x76 mm bore/stroke. It produced 88 kW (120 PS) at 5500 rpm and 172 N·m (127 ft·lbf) at 4500 rpm.

===Applications:===

* Mitsubishi Debonair
* Mitsubishi Diamante

==6G72==

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 was used in the Eclipse and Galant. Output in 2004 was 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 four valves per cylinder with roller followers and features fracture-split forged steel connecting rods. In the older version, used in many Chrysler models since 1987 this V6 was a SOHC 12-valve developing 141 hp (105 kW) at 5000 rpm and 172 ft·lbf (233 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm

==6G73==

The 6G73 displaced 2.5 L (2497 cc or 152 cid). It was a 24-valve SOHC design with 2 valves running off one cam lobe, with a smaller bore than the 3.0 liter version of the same block. Bore and stroke were 3.29 x 2.99 (83.5 x 76.0); it was a 60-degree V6 and weighed around 342 lb (155 kg). The engine had low-profile cast aluminum heads which helped it to fit into small engine bays, while pent-roof combustion chambers increased efficiency and made room for four valves per cylinder, arranged in a cross-flow pattern with a "tumble" intake port for both strong breathing and low emissions. Spark plugs were centered in the combustion chambers. The intake valves were 1.30 inches (33 mm) in diameter while exhaust valves were 1.14 inches (29 mm). A toothed timing belt was used. [1]

===Applications:===

==6G74==

The 3.5 L (3497 cc) 6G74 is a 24-valve unit available with either SOHC, DOHC, or MIVEC DOHC. Bore is 93 mm and stroke is 85.8 mm. Output is 205 hp (153 kW) at 5000 rpm with 231 ft·lbf (313 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm for the SOHC, 194 kW (260 hp) at 6000 and 324Nm (240 ft·lb) at 4500 rpm for the MIVEC. The most common 6G74 has a cast iron engine block and an aluminum cylinder head. It uses MFI fuel injection and uses forged steel connecting rods.

===Applications:===

==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 percent better fuel economy, a 30 percent reduction in emissions, and higher power outputs than diesels.[2]

==6G75==

The 6G75 is a 3.8 L (3828 cc) version with 95 mm bore and 90 mm stroke. Output varies from 230 hp (172 kW) and 250 ft·lbf (339 N·m) to 263 hp (197 kW) and 260 ft·lbf (353 N·m) depending on application. It has forged steel connecting rods.

===Applications:===

* 2006–present Mitsubishi Eclipse
* 2004–present Mitsubishi Galant
* 2003–present Mitsubishi Pajero (aka Montero/Shogun)
* 2003–present Mitsubishi Endeavor
* 2005–2008 Mitsubishi 380

MIVEC

2008-06-23T08:54:18Z

Digitalrailroader:

'''MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system)'''<ref>[http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/corporate/about_us/technology/performance/e/mivec.html "Latest MMC technologies and near-future goals"], Mitsubishi Motors website</ref> is the [[brand name]] of a [[variable valve timing]] [[Internal combustion engine|engine]] technology developed by [[Mitsubishi Motors]]. MIVEC, as with other similar systems, varies the timing, lift and duration<ref name="outlander">[http://media.mitsubishicars.com/detail?mid=MIT2006083039843&mime=ASC "2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Debuts New-Generation V-6 Engine And Segment-Exclusive Six-Speed Sportronic(R) Transmission"], Mitsubishi Motors North America press release</ref> of the [[poppet valve|valve]]s by using two different [[camshaft]] profiles. At low speeds, a mild (low-lift) [[cam|cam lobe]] provides stable [[Idle speed|idle]], lower [[Exhaust gas|emissions]] and increased [[torque]] at lower speeds, while above a fixed [[revolutions per minute|engine speed]] a second set of cam lobes are activated, providing higher lift and duration; therefore a greater quantity of air into the [[combustion chamber]] which increases the power and torque output over a broad engine speed range.

From [[Mitsubishi_4B1_engine|4B1]] engine family onward, MIVEC has fully evolved into a [[continuous variable valve timing]] system (dual VVT on intake and exhaust valves).
<ref name="newgen">[http://media.mitsubishicars.com/detail?mid=MIT2007010850689&mime=ASC "All-New 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Delivers Driven-To-Thrill Performance from New 152-HP Engine and Optional CVT"], Mitsubishi Motors North America press release</ref> MIVEC incorporated in [[Mitsubishi_3B2_engine|3B2]], [[Mitsubishi_3A9_engine|3A9]] and [[Mitsubishi_4A9_engine|4A9]] engine family continuously varies only the intake valves. Many older implementations only vary the valve timing (the amount of time per engine revolution that the intake port is open) and not the lift.

MIVEC was first introduced in 1992 in their ''[[Mitsubishi 4G9 engine|4G92]]'' powerplant, a 1,597 cc [[naturally aspirated]] [[DOHC]] 16 valve [[straight-4]].<ref>[http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/corporate/museum/history/1990/e/index.html History of Mitsubishi, 1990-1999], Mitsubishi Motors website</ref> At the time, the first generation of the system was named ''Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control''.<ref name="africa"/> The first cars to use this were the [[Mitsubishi Mirage]] [[hatchback]] and the [[Mitsubishi Lancer]] [[sedan]]. While the conventional ''4G92'' engine provided 145 [[Horsepower#PS|PS]] at 7000 [[rpm]],<ref>[http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/mitsubishi/mirage/1992_10/18901/ 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer RS specifications], English.auto.vl.ru</ref> the MIVEC-equipped engine could achieve 175 PS at 7500 rpm.<ref>[http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/mitsubishi/mirage/1992_10/18913/ 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer Cyborg specifications], English.auto.vl.ru</ref> Similar improvements were seen when the technology was applied to the 1994 [[Mitsubishi FTO]], whose top-spec GPX variant had a ''[[Mitsubishi 6A1 engine|6A12]]'' 1997 cc [[DOHC]] 24 valve [[V6]] with peak power of 200 PS at 7500 rpm.<ref>[http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/mitsubishi/fto/1994_10/15651/ 1994 Mitsubishi FTO GPX specifications], English.auto.vl.ru</ref> The GR model, whose otherwise identical powerplant was not MIVEC-equipped, produced 170 PS at 7000 rpm by comparison.<ref>[http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog/mitsubishi/fto/1994_10/15649/ 1994 Mitsubishi FTO GR specifications], English.auto.vl.ru</ref>

Although initially designed to enhance performance, the system has subsequently been developed to improve [[Fuel economy in automobiles|economy]] and emissions, and has been introduced across Mitsubishi's range of vehicles, from the [[Mitsubishi i|i]] ''[[kei car]]'' to the high-performance [[Lancer Evolution]] sedan.

===Operation===
Some types of variable valve control systems optimize power and torque by varying valve opening times and/or duration. Some of these valve control systems optimize performance at low and mid-range engine speeds. Others focus on enhancing only high-rpm power. MIVEC system provides both of these benefits by controlling valve timing and lift. The basic operation of the MIVEC system is altering the cam profiles and thus tailoring engine performance in response to driver input.<ref name="outlander"/>

In essence, MIVEC serves the same function as "swapping cams", something that car racers might do when modifying older-design engines to produce more power. However, such swaps come with a compromise - generally yielding either greater low-end torque or more high-end horsepower, but not both.
MIVEC achieves both goals. With MIVEC, the "cam swap" occurs automatically at a fixed [[revolutions per minute|engine speed]]. The cam switch operation is transparent to the driver, who is simply rewarded with a smooth flow of power.<ref name="outlander"/>

Two distinct cam profiles are used to provide two engine modes: a low-speed mode, consisting of low-lift cam profiles; and a high-speed mode. The low-lift cams and rocker arms - which drive separate intake valves - are positioned on either side of a centrally located high-lift cam.
Each of the intake valves is operated by a low-lift cam and rocker arm, while placing a T-lever between them allows the valves to follow the action of the high-lift cam.<ref name="outlander"/>

At low speeds, The T-lever's wing section floats freely, enabling the low-lift cams to operate the valves. The intake rocker arms contain internal pistons, which are retained by springs in a lowered position while the engine speed is below the MIVEC switchover point, to avoid contacting the high-lift T-shaped levers. At high speeds, hydraulic pressure elevates the hydraulic pistons, causing the T-lever to push against the rocker arm, which in turn makes the high-lift cam operate the valves.<ref name="outlander"/>

In summary, MIVEC switches to the higher cam profile as engine speed increases, and drops back to the lower cam profile as engine speed decreases. The reduced valve overlap in low-speed mode provides stable idling, while accelerated timing of the intake valve's closing reduces backflow to improve volumetric efficiency, which helps increase engine output as well as reduce lift friction. High-speed mode takes advantage of the pulsating intake effect created by the mode's high lift and retarded timing of intake valve closure. The resulting reduced pumping loss of the larger valve overlap yields higher power output and a reduction in friction. The low- and high-speed modes overlap for a brief period, boosting torque.<ref name="outlander"/>

In the systems latest generation ([[Mitsubishi_4B1_engine|4B1 engine family]]), intake and exhaust cam timing is continuously independently controlled to provide four optimized engine-operating modes:<ref name="newgen"/>
*Under most conditions, to ensure highest fuel efficiency, valve overlap is increased to reduce pumping losses. The exhaust valve opening timing is retarded for higher expansion ratio, enhancing fuel economy.
*When maximum power is demanded (high engine speed and load), intake valve closing timing is retarded to synchronize the intake air pulsations for larger air volume.
*Under low-speed, high load, MIVEC ensures optimal torque delivery with the intake valve closing timing advanced to ensure sufficient air volume. At the same time, the exhaust valve opening timing is retarded to provide a higher expansion ratio and improved efficiency.
*At idle, valve overlap is eliminated to stabilize combustion.

===MIVEC-MD===
In the early years of developing its MIVEC technology, Mitsubishi also introduced a variant dubbed MIVEC-MD (Modulated Displacement),<ref name="mountain">[http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_2651/article.html "Mountain of MIVECs"], Michael Knowling, ''AutoSpeed'', Issue 346, [[September 3]] [[2005]]</ref><ref name="africa">[http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.za/featuresites/mm_history/GDI.asp "Mitsubishi Motors History - Engine Technology"], Mitsubishi Motors South Africa website</ref> a form of [[variable displacement]]. Under a light throttle load, the intake and exhaust valves in two of the cylinders would remain closed, and the reduced pumping losses gave a claimed 10–20 percent improvement in fuel economy. Modulated Displacement was dropped around 1996.<ref name="mountain"/>

The '''Cyclone V6''' engine is a series of V6 piston engines from [[Mitsubishi]] Motors. Five displacement variants have been produced with both single- and double- overhead camshaft layouts. [[MIVEC]] variable valve timing has also been implemented in some versions, and the 2.5 and 3.0 L versions were also available with gasoline direct injection. Modern versions feature a one-piece cast crankshaft and cast aluminum intake manifold.

==6G71==

The 6G71 is a 2.0 L (1998 cc) version with a 74.7x76 mm bore/stroke. It produced 88 kW (120 PS) at 5500 rpm and 172 N·m (127 ft·lbf) at 4500 rpm.

===Applications:===

* Mitsubishi Debonair
* Mitsubishi Diamante

==6G72==

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 was used in the Eclipse and Galant. Output in 2004 was 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 four valves per cylinder with roller followers and features fracture-split forged steel connecting rods. In the older version, used in many Chrysler models since 1987 this V6 was a SOHC 12-valve developing 141 hp (105 kW) at 5000 rpm and 172 ft·lbf (233 N·m) of torque at 3600 rpm

===Applications:===

* 1990–2001 Mitsubishi GTO (aka 3000GT)/Dodge Stealth
* 1989–1995 Plymouth Acclaim/Dodge Spirit

==6G73==

The 6G73 displaced 2.5 L (2497 cc or 152 cid). It was a 24-valve SOHC design with 2 valves running off one cam lobe, with a smaller bore than the 3.0 liter version of the same block. Bore and stroke were 3.29 x 2.99 (83.5 x 76.0); it was a 60-degree V6 and weighed around 342 lb (155 kg). The engine had low-profile cast aluminum heads which helped it to fit into small engine bays, while pent-roof combustion chambers increased efficiency and made room for four valves per cylinder, arranged in a cross-flow pattern with a "tumble" intake port for both strong breathing and low emissions. Spark plugs were centered in the combustion chambers. The intake valves were 1.30 inches (33 mm) in diameter while exhaust valves were 1.14 inches (29 mm). A toothed timing belt was used. [1]

===Applications:===

* 1995–2000 Chrysler Sebring
* 1995-2000 Dodge Avenger
* 1995–2000 Chrysler Cirrus
* 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus
* 1990–2002 Mitsubishi Diamante
* 1992–1996 Mitsubishi Galant

==6G74==

The 3.5 L (3497 cc) 6G74 is a 24-valve unit available with either SOHC, DOHC, or MIVEC DOHC. Bore is 93 mm and stroke is 85.8 mm. Output is 205 hp (153 kW) at 5000 rpm with 231 ft·lbf (313 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm for the SOHC, 194 kW (260 hp) at 6000 and 324Nm (240 ft·lb) at 4500 rpm for the MIVEC. The most common 6G74 has a cast iron engine block and an aluminum cylinder head. It uses MFI fuel injection and uses forged steel connecting rods.

===Applications:===

* 1996–2005 [[Mitsubishi Verada]] (Australia)
* 1999–2005 [[Mitsubishi Magna]] (Australia)
* 1993–2004 [[Mitsubishi Pajero]] (aka Montero/Shogun)
* 1997–2005 [[Mitsubishi Diamante]]
* 2006–present [[Mitsubishi L200]]
* [[Mitsubishi Challenger]]
* 2003–200? [[Kia Sorento]]
* 2001–2007 [[Hyundai Terracan]]

==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 percent better fuel economy, a 30 percent reduction in emissions, and higher power outputs than diesels.[2]

==6G75==

The 6G75 is a 3.8 L (3828 cc) version with 95 mm bore and 90 mm stroke. Output varies from 230 hp (172 kW) and 250 ft·lbf (339 N·m) to 263 hp (197 kW) and 260 ft·lbf (353 N·m) depending on application. It has forged steel connecting rods.

===Applications:===

* 2006–present Mitsubishi Eclipse
* 2004–present Mitsubishi Galant
* 2003–present Mitsubishi Pajero (aka Montero/Shogun)
* 2003–present Mitsubishi Endeavor
* 2005–2008 Mitsubishi 380
