Used Mitsubishi Parts

Mitsubishi keeps a body in production far longer than most. The third-generation RVR - sold in the US as the Outlander Sport, elsewhere as the ASX - ran from 2010 to 2024 as one generation, so a single part often spans a decade of model years. The Outlander is the opposite: the second generation was also sold as the Peugeot 4007 and Citroen C-Crosser, while the fourth generation, launched as a 2022 model, is based on the Nissan Rogue and X-Trail (T33) on the Renault-Nissan CMF-CD platform. A 2021 and a 2022 Outlander are unrelated cars.

Three engine families cover most of it. The 4B1 "World Engine" - 1.8L 4B10, 2.0L 4B11, 2.4L 4B12 - was built under the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance with Chrysler and Hyundai, and all variants share one block with a 96 mm bore pitch. The 4G63 of the Sirius family powered the Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser through Diamond-Star Motors and later the Lancer Evolution. The 3.0L 6G72 V6 went into the Pajero/Montero (1988-2021) and 3000GT, plus Dodge and Chrysler vans and sedans from 1987 and the Hyundai Sonata (1990-1998).

• Mitsubishi recalled 2008-2010 Lancer, 2009-2010 Lancer Sportback, 2008-2013 Outlander and 2011-2016 Outlander Sport vehicles sold or registered in 23 road-salt states because the front cross member can corrode and let the front lower control arms detach. That is a loss-of-control risk, so it belongs with a professional - and a reason to be careful where used suspension or subframe parts for these cars came from.
• Mitsubishi also recalled 2008-2011 Lancer, Lancer Evolution and Outlander, 2009-2011 Lancer Sportback and Ralliart, and 2011 Outlander Sport vehicles built with 4B1 engines: the pulleys driving the alternator, cooling fan and power steering pump can wear unusually and let the belt detach, discharging the battery and stalling the engine. Have the pulleys inspected before reusing accessory-drive parts on a 4B1 car.

Safety- and emissions-related parts should be diagnosed and installed by a licensed mechanic.

• The 4G63 has a hard split the engine code does not show. Engines from 1990 to late April 1992 use thicker connecting rods and six bolts holding the flywheel to the crankshaft; from May 1992 through 2006 the Evolution versions use lighter rods and seven flywheel bolts. They are the "six bolt" and "seven bolt" engines, and only the build date tells you which a donor is.
• A Mitsubishi 3.0 V6 is not one engine. The 6G72 was built as SOHC 12-valve, SOHC 24-valve and DOHC 24-valve, and it appeared in everything from the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager to the 3000GT, Dodge Stealth, Montero and Hyundai Sonata. The donor pool is unusually wide, but the valvetrain has to match first.
• Shared does not mean interchangeable. Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Hyundai jointly developed the World Engine block and basic structure, but Mitsubishi developed its own manifolds and cylinder-head ports and each partner tailored the specification. A Chrysler World Engine or Hyundai Theta is not a substitute for a 4B11 or 4B12.

Give us the engine code and the build date with the full 17-digit VIN. The code (4B11, 4B12, 4G63, 6G72) sets the family; the build date settles what the code hides, above all whether a 4G63 is a six-bolt or seven-bolt engine. For a 6G72 also tell us the valvetrain - SOHC 12-valve, SOHC 24-valve or DOHC 24-valve - because all three wear the same code. On an Outlander, say whether it is the 2021-or-earlier car or the 2022-on Nissan-based one. If your car has a Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, Peugeot or Citroen twin from the same era, mention it - it widens what we can quote.
