General
The 4G63-T/C engine fitted in the Lancer Evolution VIII MR is basically the same as the 4G63-T/C engine used in the Lancer
Evolution VIII.
The basic structure is the same in both the 6M/T (6-speed) and 5M/T (5-speed) versions, but the following improvements have
been made to the 6M/T version, in order to achieve higher performance.
• Adoption of 5-ply cylinder head gasket
• Addition of V-shaped groove in piston , and modified shape in cooling channel
• Reduced oil consumption by increasing tension in piston rings and reducing end-to-end 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
