For the 4G63T engine, expect approximately 195-205 horsepower and 203-215 lb-ft of torque, depending on specific tuning and market.

Fuel System

Injection Type:

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)

Engine Cooling

Coolant Type:

Typically a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and distilled water.

Engine Oil

Oil Type:

Likely 10W-30 or 10W-40, depending on ambient temperature and specific engine variant. API SG or higher service classification.

Spark Plugs

Recommended Spark Plugs:

NGK or equivalent, with appropriate heat range and gap specification (e.g., BPR6ES-11 or similar for turbo models).

🔧 Transmission

Standard Transmission

Transmission Type Standard:

Likely a 5-speed manual transmission as standard for performance models.

Optional Transmission

Transmission Type Optional:

A 4-speed automatic transmission was likely available as an option.
