The Mitsubishi 4N1 engines are a family of all- alloy four-cylinder diesel engines developed by Mitsubishi Motors, produced at the company's powertrain facility in Kyoto, Japan for use in Mitsubishi's small to mid-sized global passenger cars. [1] [2] [3]
In June 2006, Mitsubishi Motors Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Renault announced a joint development project for a new generation of clean diesel engines to be used in cars exported to Europe with a target of beginning mass production in 2010 [2] and later announced that the engines will be gradually phased into other global markets. [3] [4]
The preliminary version of the 1.8 L (1,798 cc) engine was first seen in the Concept-cX test car introduced in 2007. The larger 2.3 L (2,268 cc) was first exhibited in the Concept-ZT test car introduced in the same year and later used in the Concept-RA test car introduced in 2008. [5] [6] [7] [8]
With a clean diesel emission performance in mind, all engines are designed to comply with Tier 2 Bin 5 emission regulations in the United States, Euro 5 standard in Europe and Japan's Post New Long Term regulations. [1] [3] [8]
Together with Mitsubishi's electric vehicle technology the new diesel engines are positioned as a core element in the Mitsubishi Motors Environment Initiative Program 2010 (EIP 2010) announced in July 2006. [3] [9]
The 4N1 engine family is the world's first to feature a variable valve timing (intake side) system applied to passenger car diesel engines. [10]
All engines developed within this family have aluminium cylinder block, double overhead camshaft layouts, 4 valves per cylinder, a common rail injection system with a variable-geometry turbocharger. Most of those engine have the MIVEC variable valve timing system. The 4N14 2.3 L (2,268 cc) has been distributed in the ASX and Delica without MIVEC.
Mitsubishi's new clean diesel engines use a 200 MPa (2,000 bar) high-pressure common rail injection system to improve combustion efficiency. The 4N13 1.8 L (1,798 cc) uses solenoid fuel-injectors. The larger 4N14 2.3 L (2,268 cc) engine uses piezo fuel-injectors that produce a finer fuel spray. Both engines feature a fast ceramic glowplug system. The engines are designed to operate at a lower compression ratio, thus lowering the combustion pressure, allowing the use of an aluminium cylinder block that reduces weight. [1] [11]
The 4N13 1.8 L (1,798 cc) engine uses a Variable Geometry (VG) turbocharger with a variable vane turbine, which provides optimal boost pressure control for different driving conditions. The 4N14 2.3 L (2,268 cc) engine also uses a VG turbocharger plus a Variable Diffuser (VD) that uses both variable geometry vanes in the turbine housing and a compressor with variable vanes in the diffuser passage, further improving combustion efficiency. [1] [11]
Within the engine, Mitsubishi used an offset angle crankshaft that reduces friction, therefore noise and vibration, allowing the engine to run smoothly and quietly at all engine speeds. [1] [11]
To meet the requirements of global emissions standards, Mitsubishi developed a new catalyst system that combines a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), NOx Trap Catalyst (NTC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). [1] [11]
