The 4G15-MIVEC-T/C engine employed in the Colt
is designed to provide higher performance and
higher output by using a turbocharger to the
4G15-MIVEC engine employed in the conventional
Colt. The main changes in the conventional
4G15-MIVEC engine are as follows:•Cylinder head gasket changed
•Oil jet added
•Strength improved in piston and piston pin
