General
The 4G63T/C engine fitted in the Lancer Evolution VIII MR is basically the same as the 4G63T/C engine used in the Lancer
Evolution VIII.
The basic structure is the same in both the 6M/T (6speed) and 5M/T (5speed) versions, but the following improvements have
been made to the 6M/T version, in order to achieve higher performance.
• Adoption of 5ply cylinder head gasket
• Addition of Vshaped groove in piston , and modified shape in cooling channel
• Reduced oil consumption by increasing tension in piston rings and reducing endtoend gap
•Extra durability and reduced oil consumption by using new treatment on outer surface of oil ring side rail, and altering
thickness
•Lighter counterbalance shaft
• Increased output at high engine speeds by modifying intake cams

ENGINE (4G6) – CONTROL SYSTEM (6 M/T)110
1. Supercharging pressure control
The maximum torque has been increased, compared to the 4G63DOHCT/C engine in the current Lancer Evolution VIII, by
installing an additional wastegate solenoid valve (increased from 1 to 2 valves).
By adding a parallel No.2 wastegate solenoid valve to the previous system, provides extra relief capacity for the pressure
applied to the wastegate actuator thus increasing the range of supercharging pressure..
The engine ECU raises the supercharging pressure even further, thus raising the maximum torque, by driving the No.2
wastegate solenoid valve when the engine approaches maximum torque.
The No.1 wastegate solenoid valve is essentially controlled in the same way as previously.
