The 6G71 2.0L SOHC V6 has a displacement of 1998cc with a 74.7mm bore & 76mm stroke, and a compression ratio of 8.9:1  The 6G72 SOHC V6 basic specs are the same as the version introduced by Chrysler in their minivans in the 1987 model year.  Both motors share a stroke in common, but the bore is different.  I'd imagine the motors have different heads also because of the requred changes of size required in the combustion chamber area of the head.

An LPG version of the 6G71 was available in late 1987 and saw production through mid 1992.  When the 6G71 LPG was phased out a 6G72 version was phased in. 

Here is the headgaskets for these two motors.  You can see they are simillar, but yet very different.

In 1987 Mitsubishi went a step further with the new 6G7x motor family and introduced a V6 engine varient of the 6G71 in a supercharged flavor.  This motor found it's way into the Debonair V.


Digging on the web there is literally nothing out there on this motor.  This variant was actually thought to be a myth before the above pictured motor found it's way on ebay.  This motor was eventually purchased by a member of the fwdmoparmuscle mailing list, but has yet to be installed in a vehicle.  It's intake looks like it shares some in common with the Chrysler variant of the 6G72 SOHC.  This motor is also the one that prompted me to write that page. 

The 6G71 from what I have been able to find out had a production run from 1986 to 1992 and was found in the Japanese, Austrailain, New Zealand, & Russian Markets.  The motor eventually found it's way into the Diamante.

1988 brought a varient of the 6G72 called the G6AT that was exclusively used by Hyundai in the Sonata.  This motor saw use until 1998.  With the introduction of the Y2 Sonata's the designation was changed to G6CT.  Internal specs are based on the Chrysler version & upper intake system was unique to it.  It was replaced by a 2.5L SOHC V6(G6BV aka 6G73) in 1999 and in 2002 was replaced by a 2.7L V6.

In 1989 the 6G72 found it's way into the Pajero, Montero, & Dodge Raider in a RWD configuration worldwide.  1990 would see it introduced in the Dodge D50 pickup with the same setup as the Montero recieved.  The 3.0L SOHC was offered until the D50 was discontinued in 1992.

1990 saw the introduction of the 6G72 3.0L DOHC V6 in the GTO.  This engine was available in both naturally aspirated & twin turbo flavors.  This is also Mitsubishi's first V6 engine to offer DIS(Distributorless Ignition) and their first DOHC V6 engines.  The Sigma(Japan Market) also recieved the 24 Valve N/A version, but it was rated at 20hp less than the GTO.  The hosepower ratings were upped to 222hp on the N/A version in 1993.  The SOHC N/A version would eventually become available in other models such as the Diamante in 1992.
In 1992 in the Japanese market yet another variant of the 6G7x family showed up.  The 6G74.  The 6G74 was a 3.5L 24 Valve DOHC V6.  This engine would eventually find it's way to the United States in the Diamante & Montero.  There is also a 24 valve SOHC varient of the 6G74 used in the Montero & Diamante.  On SOHC versions of the motor the Montero recieved DIS while all other SOHC applications recieved a distributor ran off the cam on the back head.  All DOHC versions were DIS.

In 1993 the Galant & Sigma(Japanese Market) shows up on the scene with a new 24Valve DOHC flavor of the 6G71 motor referred to as the 6A12.  In 1994 this motor finds it's way into the FTO.  The Galant saw this version through 1996 in a few parts of the world & the FTO saw it to the end of it's production run.

Other varients of the 6A12 are around, but little info is available on them.  The 6A10, 6A11, & 6A13 were the other engines in the 6A1x series of engines.  The 6A13 is a 2.5L DOHC engine that went into production around 1996 in Japan.

1995 Saw the introduction of a new 6G72 engine.  This one being a 24 Valve SOHC.  This motor would eventually find it's way into the Eclipse in 2000 and in some Chrysler models built on Mitsubishi platforms. 


Sometime in the late '90's the above pictured motor showed up.  Where it was used I have not been able to find out.  All I know is it is a DOHC 6G74 twin turbo.  I have recieved a few emails on this motor and will post some information shortly.  I just need to go through it and analyze it.

Upwards of the year 2000 the Galant recieved a turbocharged version of the 6G73 engine.  Some info on the VR4 Galant can be found here:
