ok so recently i've noticed that my mivec kicks in @4000 rpm's it use to kick in at around 3500 whats the deal? has any one else had this problem?

 

MIVEC's engagement point doesn't change. Also, when you feel it isn't necessarily when it changed over. It always changes at around 3600, however, you don't necessarily feel it until 4k and higher.

 

ok so mivec kicks in at 3600 and you dont feel it until 4k is it because their is a lag time their or what that would mean that the power doesent come on till 4k rpms right?

 

Don't quote me on this, but didn't mitsu start changing peoples ECU's when you brought it in for service? For an update/mivec change?

I own a 2006 so my mivec doesn't engage till 4,000. I feel it a lot now with all the upgrades/ecu flash by Michael. But when it was stock I could even feel it engage, but everyone else thought I was crazy.

I would say find somewhere you can just rev the car in idle and find out where it really is activating. You'll hear a difference and notice the RPMs jump faster. Rev it slowly up the RPMS

 

my wife says im crazy to but i can feel when it engages i've never taken it to mitsu i've always done everything myself.

 

My Mivec F*ing cracks so hard! On both my ralliarts one is an 04 ones an 05. 3.5/3.6 on both and they just launch. Always could setup the Mivec Light in howto ralliart section, just to be totally sure.

 

Actually he's right about the Mivec light. Just do that and you'll know for sure when your mivec engages

 

MIVEC JUST KICKED IN YO!!!!

Sorry, I just had to, so here's a complimenting photo.

 

04-05 models kick in at 3500. 06 is 4. now will all the mods I have I barely notice kick in at 3500, but when i hit 4500 now it LAUNCHES. When my piggy was working it would be an even acceleration with no real big kick.

 

im not good with electronics lol

 

What mods do you have ?

 

Every bolt on you can get through RRM. Headers exhaust, intake timing box piggy(which i fixed but it still LAUNCHES at 4500) etc
