Description
The (TUR) MITSUBISHI 4D56T I4 DOHC inlet manifold, identified under PG720, is a vital engine component designed to fit the Mitsubishi Triton ML and MN series produced between 2008 and 2015. At first, these models, available in 4-door configurations, were powered by the 2.5-litre inline-four (I4) 16-valve turbo-diesel engine, the well-known 4D56T. This engine has long been recognized for its balance of efficiency, durability, as well as performance. Making it a popular choice in Mitsubishi’s utility and off-road lineup.
Engine Overview
- Type: Inline-four (I4), Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC)
- Displacement: 2.5 litres
- Valves: 16 (four per cylinder)
- Fuel System: Turbocharged direct-injection diesel
The (TUR) MITSUBISHI 4D56T I4 DOHC engine is a proven workhorse, delivering strong torque for towing and off-road use while maintaining respectable fuel economy. Its DOHC design allows for improved airflow and combustion efficiency compared to older SOHC versions, enhancing both performance and reliability.
Function of the Inlet Manifold
The inlet manifold plays a crucial role in the operation of the 4D56T engine by directing air into the combustion chambers. In a turbocharged diesel system, this function is especially important because:
- Even air distribution ensures consistent combustion across all cylinders.
- Improved efficiency supports better fuel economy and smoother performance.
- Turbocharger synergy allows the engine to maximize boost pressure and power output.
The PG720 inlet engineered to withstand the pressures and heat generated by turbo-diesel operation. Ensuring long-term durability under demanding conditions.
Fitment and Compatibility
- Vehicle: Mitsubishi Triton ML, MN
- Years: 2008–2015
- Body Style: 4-door utility/pickup
- Engine: 4D56T 2.5L I4 16V turbo-diesel
This inlet manifold is a direct-fit replacement part, manufactured to meet OEM specifications. In addition, it requires no modifications during installation, making it ideal for routine servicing, restoration, or preventative maintenance.
Importance for Owners
A failing inlet manifold can lead to:
- Reduced engine efficiency
- Loss of power and torque
- Increased fuel consumption
- Potential damage to the turbocharger and related components
By replacing it with the PG720 inlet, Triton owners can maintain the reliability and performance that Mitsubishi’s 4D56T engine is famous for. Whether used for heavy-duty work, off-road adventures, or daily driving, keeping the inlet system in top condition ensures the vehicle continues to deliver dependable service.
In summary, the (TUR) MITSUBISHI 4D56T I4 DOHC inlet manifold (PG720) is a critical component for the Triton ML/MN (2008–2015). It supports efficient airflow, preserves engine performance, and upholds Mitsubishi’s reputation for rugged reliability in utility vehicles.
