It has already been stated that installing a IX turbo on a VIII will result in a slower spool than the IX tubo on a IX with MIVEC. MIVEC directly affects spool up time. Many reputable tuners have stated this. Why argue with that?

My point exactly! thank you.

Hence my argument. You are stating that MIVEC is superior to *ANY* cam/cam gear combination. I just don't see it.

Tuners aren't engineers.

Keep praising your beloved MIVEC. I wish you well on your quest to reach your upper limit once you get an aftermarket turbo. I'll keep moving on to bigger and better gains like 2.5 stroker kits and GT35Rs..

Are you people listening?? That wasn't my statement. My statement was put an VIII turbo on a IX. Then ask, does it still have the same spool-up characteristics??

Sheesh...

Maybe you can READ it now???

First off, why take an inferior turbo such as the VIII's (as compared to the IX) and swap them. But if you where to ask, I would think spoolup would be better than on the VIII due to MIVEC. Have you never used cam timing in regards to spoolup?

No one stated MIVEC is superior to any and all cam / cam gear setups. I think everyone is on the same page but you!

For the record I would think the VIII turbo would also spool up quicker w/ MIVEC also.

Ok. I'm done.

Learn a little more about engineering principles: mass, velocity, acceleration, etc.. and stop being a fanboy of features... to be so excited about a 30-40WHP difference across the board is clearly justifying a purchase (it's negliable power at best). I'm dying to hear what your superior advantage will be when the X and XI come out in the next 2 years..

Lastly, be careful flying around town coming up on EVO8s that you assume you can smoke because of MIVEC. Remember, it's money that dictates true power in a vehicle.

30-40whp is negligable at best? Puff, Puff, give....

I am sure when the X and XI come out we will all be on evoM crying about it just like you are now. Come on, we are all evo's. Why hate on another generation just because of "features"

I'm out..

No ones over excited about anything, nor did anyone state that 30-40 whp justified a purchase decision. And no one is assuming that because of MIVEC we can smoke those who dont have it. We have no idea what your ranting on about for the most part.

I want a aftermarket ecu that needs no tuning, i'm runnin a greddy FMIC, AEM Intake, Fidenza
Cam Gears, Logic Cat Back Exhaust and upgraded Spark Plugs & wires from Magnecore, I have
no kind of management, besides turbo timer, boost controller. In my country nobody knows
how to properly tune an ECU

So much for this thread being about showing off Evo IX dyno results

This thread is getting way off topic. Before I start modding my IX I would like to see some dyno sheets from other IX's with various mods.

Yeah sorry about that, please check earlier for link to my dyno at Vishnu.
