Is the Neons engine really a Mitsubishi product in disguise?
No! This is a persistent myth, particularly among DSM owners, founded on the history of cooperation between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. In fact, the naturally aspirated Eclipse 2.0 litre is based on the Neon engine, which was entirely developed by Chrysler. However, the head is reversed in the Eclipse installation, with the exhaust manifold facing front. The Mitsubishi turbo engines, on the other hand, were designed in Japan and do not have any common parts with the Chrysler product.
