Like New Condition
Bought this as a spare for my Evo 9. Looks like it just left the factory – even had OEM Mitsubishi stamps on the block! Starts instantly and idles smoother than my original engine. Worth every penny.

Great but Needed Minor Work
Solid JDM 4G63T with 65k km. Had to replace the valve stem seals (common for these), but otherwise runs strong. Perfect for my Eclipse GSX swap. Seller provided a partial refund for the small issue – great customer service!

Absolute Beast for Evo Build
This 4G63T engine arrived with perfect compression (165psi across all cylinders). Installed it in my Evo 8 with a bigger turbo, now pushing 400whp on stock internals. Zero smoke or leaks. Seller included the ECU and harness – plug-and-play perfection!
