If you like Mitsubishi SUVs and off-roading cars, as well as pickups and heavy-duty automobiles, you should know the 4D56T engine. It’s the turbo variant of the 4D56 engine, featuring a 2.5-litre displacement. With an inline-four architecture and a single turbo, this variant develops 73 kW (but can depend on the model year and market). It is most commonly fitted to Pajero SUVs.
A high compression ratio allows the SOHC engine to develop plenty of torque, making it reliable and capable of towing loads. The turbo boosts performance slightly. The first cars with the 4D56T engine were introduced in the 1980s.
Despite being optimised for rugged use, the 4D56T engine can have problems with turbos and overheating. This is why a used 4D56T engine in good condition could be the right buy for you!
