Mitsubishi Lancer - Mirage 96 - 05 with 4G15 1.5 SOHC 12v engine.
The Mitsubishi Lancer - Mirage 1.5 model is the base range model and was more commonly known as the GLi model until the recent introduction by Mitsubishi of the GLi 1.8 model for greater power. The 1.5 engine is very much your economy engine with only 64kw - 67kw of power depending upon your location. It can be modified easily and with surprising results.
It is never going to be a V8 eater unless you go the turbo route, but the results of minor modifications can be very satisfying and for the majority of car owners, using these cars as mobile sound factories and body kits, this suits them perfectly. The naturally aspirated packages also work extremely well with many new options now available, whilst the low boost turbo systems of course always give there large cousins something to be concerned about.
The most common upgrade we now do for these models is the DOHC head conversion which is worth by itself, 8kw but requires no computer modifications at all, working on the factory SOHC 12v computer. Utilising this as a baseline, we are now seeing the humble 4G15 engine go from 65kw up to around 110kw in naturally aspirated form and around 150kw with some medium level turbo boosting.
Not all mods are for power though, there are many area's of braking and suspension that any stock car can always be improved with. Along with other drive line upgrades, you can have a smooth reliable car, with improved handling, and provide that little bit of sporty power to keep most people satisfied.
This section is to be used as a guide in your modification - we will be breaking this into sections to provide a well balanced vehicle. Additionally the modification package will be setup so that as you increase the power of the vehicle, your alternative items like brakes etc are matched to your new power level. This guide has also been done in an order which provides successive gains from the modifications power wise. Jumping say to number 20 first, may result in a LOSS of power until you have done other items to match its effect.
RPW does not take any responsibility for people performing these modifications on there car without professional involvement. Check with your local government regulations before modifying your car as these items may not be legal in your country.
4G15</SPAN>
The SOHC 4G15 displaces 1.5 L (1468 cc) with a bore and stroke of 75.5 mm x 82.0mm. A version of the 4G15 was produced with gasoline multi port injection. It has approximately 92 hp (69 kW) on the 1993 Mirage model. A DOHCMIVEC turbo variant of the engine is also still in production to date (4G15T), serving in the Mitsubishi Colt series, offering 163 hp (122 kW) on the latest Colt Version-R (with exhaust enhancement).

Following are chapters inside the manual:
This post is created for those who wish to modify their 4G13 and 4G15 from mild to extreme machine. From what I understand, a lot of car enthusiast wish not to go through all the hassle of transplant an engine and they prefer to play on their factory fitted engine. Some will say that you won't gain any knowledge by just putting in a powerful engine without going through the "step by step" modification experience.
Ok, let's start with the 4G13 engine. It is 1.3 liters engine which is known as economic fuel consumtion engine. 4G15 is 1.5 liters model is the base range model and produced a little more HP compare to 4G13. The 1.5 engine is very much your economy engine with only 90hp on engine. It can be modified easily and with surprising results. If going down to NA (naturally aspirated) path, with some modifications you can easily up the HP approximate 120hp on engine. If going to FI (forced induction) path, the low boost turbo systems will easily produce more HP compare to NA path.
For those older 4G13/4G15 from the Saga, Wira and Satria model, it is a standard 12 valves carburator engine. Normally people will upgrade their engine either to a EFI (electronic fuel injection) or to a performance carburetor, to name one WEBER). However, not all mods are for power though, there are many area's of braking and suspension that any stock car can always be improved with. Along with other drive line upgrades, you can have a smooth reliable car, with improved handling, and provide that little bit of sporty power to keep most people satisfied.
So I would like to compile a list of modification that can be done for 4G13 and 4G15. This section is to be used as a guide in your modification - I will be breaking this into sections to provide a well balanced vehicle.
I have a 1997 Proton Persona which has many Mitsubishi parts: the
engine is the Mitsubishi 4G15 12 valve 1468 cc. I think it's all very
similar to a Colt.
Suddenly the engine has started to severely misfire when I accelerate.
I have _advanced_ the distributor by about 5 degrees which has
reduced the effect, so now the car is driveable, but now the engine
pinks. (Is that a British English word? I mean I get a high pitched
tapping when I accelerate uphill in a high gear.) What has gone wrong?
Timing belt was changed about a year ago, when the head was planed
after a head gasket failure; all has been OK till this week
take a walk before emailing
