The Group 1 engines were the smallest in displacement and outer dimensions, and differed most significantly from the larger Group 2 and Group 3 engines by having only four main bearings (whereas the Group 2 and 3 engines had seven) [1]: 15 and a different firing order (1-5-3-6-2-4, whereas the others are 1-4-2-6-3-5).
The larger 1.8 L 4G62 was an SOHC 8-valve unit for longitudinal rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive use. With a bore and stroke of 80.6 mm × 88 mm (3.17 in × 3.46 in), it displaces 1,795 cc (1.8 L). It was available either in carburetor form, multi-point fuel injection, or ECI Turbo as found in the Lancer EX 1800GSR or 1800GT, and Cordia GSR.
