The Challengers sold in the USA also had the "MCA-Jet" system
Silent Shaft system: added to mitsubishi engines in 1976, on the Astron 80 engine. It uses two counter-rotating balance
shafts inside the engine to cancel most of the vibrations from within the engine. It received the "Price for Science" from
the Japan's Automobile Technology Association
MCA-Jet: Mitsubishi Clean Air and jet-valve controlled lean combustion, an anti-pollution system that is effective without
the use of a catalytic converter. It prevents pollutions from being burned outside the engine, which is usually caused by
air-injection and rich mixtures. A good combustion mixture is achieved by letting a high-speed jet of air into the cylinder
from a third valve. This causes a better lean mixture and cleans the spark plugs.
