This comprehensive diesel engine assembly is a proven power unit designed specifically for a range of Mitsubishi vehicles including the Pajero, Triton, L200, Delica, and Shogun models produced between 1988 and 1996. The 4d56 engine, also known as the 4D56T when turbocharged, represents a robust solution for those seeking durable, high-torque performance in commercial and off-road applications. With its 2.5-liter inline-four configuration, SOHC design, and advanced direct injection technology, this engine delivers consistent output across various driving conditions—making it a favorite among mechanics, vehicle restorers, and fleet operators worldwide.

Key features include a maximum power output of 82 horsepower at 4,200 rpm and peak torque of 196 Nm available as low as 2,000 rpm. This torque-centric specification ensures excellent acceleration from standstill—a critical advantage for towing, hauling, or navigating rough terrain. The engine’s construction uses precision-engineered components sourced directly from Japan, adhering to stringent manufacturing standards that ensure long-term reliability and minimal maintenance needs. Whether you're replacing a failed unit or upgrading your vehicle’s performance, the 4D56 long block offers an OEM-grade alternative with full compatibility and plug-and-play functionality.

The product includes a complete engine assembly—typically comprising the cylinder block, crankshaft, camshaft, pistons, valves, timing chain, oil pump, and other internal parts—ensuring all major mechanical elements are factory-matched for seamless installation. Some variants may come bundled with a compatible gearbox, simplifying integration into older or modified platforms. Designed for both professional workshops and DIY enthusiasts, this engine supports easy swap-outs without requiring extensive modifications to the chassis or electrical systems.

Commonly found in rugged environments such as mountainous regions, agricultural fields, and urban delivery fleets, the 4D56 engine excels in demanding scenarios where fuel efficiency, durability, and low-end pulling power matter most. Its widespread use in Mitsubishi's legacy lineup means spare parts availability remains strong globally, further enhancing its appeal for long-term ownership and repairability. Ideal for owners of classic SUVs, pickup trucks, and utility vans looking to restore original performance or upgrade their drivetrain capabilities.

User feedback highlights consistent satisfaction with the engine’s smooth operation, reduced vibration compared to earlier models, and improved fuel economy over time. Many users report successful installations in vehicles previously equipped with worn-out or seized engines, noting how the 4D56’s modular design makes diagnostics and rebuilds more straightforward than competing options. Customers often praise the engine’s reputation for longevity—even under heavy-duty usage—and appreciate the peace of mind that comes with sourcing a Japanese-built powertrain component.

Frequently asked questions include inquiries about compatibility with different model years, ease of installation, and whether additional tuning or ECU adjustments are required. While most 4D56 engines fit standard mounting points without modification, some users recommend verifying the specific variant (e.g., 4D56 vs. 4D56T) based on their vehicle’s year and trim level. In most cases, no special tools or software are needed beyond basic hand tools and a lift or jack stand. For optimal results, it’s advised to replace related components like the clutch, starter motor, and fuel injectors during installation to maintain overall system integrity.
