The Mitsubishi 4A3 engine is a range of alloy-headed inline four-cylinder engines from Mitsubishi Motors, introduced in 1993 in the sixth generation of their Mitsubishi Minica kei car . It shares a 72 mm (2.8 in) bore pitch with the 3G8-series three-cylinder engines, but has a considerably shorter stroke so as to stay beneath the 660 cc limit imposed by the Kei class.[1]
A long-stroke, 1.1 L (1,094 cc) version was made available in 1997 for larger-engined kei derivatives, and was subsequently fitted to the Mitsubishi Pistachio, a limited production car based on the kei class Minica equipped with the company's Automatic Stop-Go (ASG) system for cutting the engine when idling. So equipped, the Pistachio was able to record fuel economy figures of 30 km/L (85 mpg‑imp; 71 mpg‑US).
4A30
[edit ]Displacement — 0.7 L (659 cc)
Bore x Stroke — 60 mm ×ばつ 58.3 mm (2.36 in ×ばつ 2.30 in)[2]
