ENGINE <4G6>
OVERVIEW
<EVOLUTION-IV>
The engine of the EVOLUTION-IV is based on the 4G63 DOHC turbocharged unit used in the EVOLUTION-III.
Its right/left alignment has been reversed and its structure simplified and optimized. In addition, it incorporates
the revisions shown below for increased output and durability.

MAIN UNIT
PISTONS
(1) A revised production method enhances the pistons’ fatigue
strength.
(2) The No. 1 ring grooves are alumite-treated.
CONNECTING RODS
Shot blasting is performed again after coining, giving the con-
necting rods approximately 15% more fatigue strength than
the connecting rods used in the EVOLUTION-III.
FLYWHEEL
Steel flywheel Cast iron flywheel
For lightness, the flywheel is made from steel instead of the
earlier cast iron.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
ENGINE OIL COOLER
<EVOLUTION-IV>
A corrugated-fin-type air-cooled engine oil cooler is utilized.
<EVOLUTION-V>
The oil cooler core has increased dimensions, and an air
duct has been added to the front bumper to improve the efficien-
cy with which the engine oil is cooled.

CONTROL SYSTEM
The control system is based on that of the 4G63 DOHC turbocharged engine used in the EVOLUTION-III.
For enhanced torque and output, it incorporates the following improvements:
(1) A new type of air flow sensor significantly reduces air intake resistance.
(2) A flow-limiter-type idle speed control system provides superior control over the engine’s idle speed
during warm-up.
(3) The crank angle sensor is attached directly to the crankshaft to enhance accuracy.
(4) A stick-type cam position sensor is used.
(5) The ignition system utilizes plug-top coils with built-in power transistors for enhanced ignition performance.
(6) An alternator control system enhances fuel efficiency while the engine is idling.
(7) A high/low two-speed fan control relay is utilized.
(8) The engine control relay and fuel pump control relay are located separately to enable simpler circuitry.
(9) A secondary air system has been added to enhance acceleration response.
(10)The ignition timing adjustment connector has been eliminated.
(11)The air conditioner refrigerant medium pressure switch has been eliminated.

Also, Kármán vortices are mea-

the difference in signals received

nents that occur over time.
ACTUATORS
Secondary Air Control Solenoid Valve
The secondary air control valve is an ON/OFF solenoid valve.
It switches the pressure applied to the secondary air valve
between the intake manifold vacuum pressure and the atmo-
spheric pressure.
When the coil is not energized, continuity exists between the
X-nipple and ambient air. When the coil is energized, continuity
exists between the X-nipple and Y-nipple.

air supply by opening and closing in accordance with the vacu-
