The 6B3x family of engines are 60 degree angle V6 engines produced by Mitsubishi in Shiga, Japan. It is an all-alloy design with single overhead camshafts driven by a belt. Valves are actuated by roller rockers with automatic lash adjusters on the exhaust valves only.
The engine was designed primarily for use in the North American Second Generation Outlander and is designed to produce plentiful amounts of torque in the low and medium rev range as demanded by an SUV. It achieves this by using MIVEC for valve timing and lift and a variable length inlet runner manifold.
The weight of the engine has been reduced by the use of an aluminum block, heads and oil pan along with resin rocker covers, resin intake manifold and a guideless dipstick to reduce weight by 25 Kg compared to the 3.0L 6G72. Mitsubishi claims the engine is only 5Kg heavier than the four cylinder engine used in the First Generation Outlander.
So far only the 3.0 Litre 6B31 has been released.
The engine was the last in Mitsubishi's early to mid 2000s 'engine renovation program' following the 4A9x, 4B1x and 3B2x [1].
6B31
The 6B31 is a 3.0 litre V6 engine. It uses 24-valve single overhead camshafts with MIVEC. It displaces 2998 cc using a 87.6 mm x 82.9 mm bore and stroke. It has a 9.5:1 compression ratio and produces 162 kW at 6250 rpm and 276 Nm at 4000 rpm. Compared to the 6G72 24-valve SOHC as used in the North American Eclipse GTS the engine weighs 25 Kg less and outputs 7 kW more power but 2 Nm less torque. The engine has a relatively flat torque curve, with 90% of the engine's torque available from just 2000 rpm.
In Australia it has been used in the ZG and ZH Outlander.
