I was just curious if anyone noticed in the latest addition of Turbo magazine that one of the hot products at SEMA was cams for the 9? They also will come with a Electronic Valve Timing Controller for in cockpit adjustment of where the cams roll into their high-rpm lobes. Check it out page 80.

 

good information, now we just need more testing by the people on here.

 

That sounds pretty cool. Wonder how the cams will react to the MIVEC......

 

The 9 doesn't have extra lobes.

If true, then that's great news!

 

This is MI Vec.... not V Tec

Sorry but it has one lobe, the Vtec has two lobes that it switches between, the Mivec just advanced the timing gears forward and back.

 

I was relaying info from a magazine, my bad

 

bump

 

I saw the cams in Turbo magazine also, it said some thing about adjusting them in the car.

 

wait a sec... is mivec continuous timing or is it electronically controlled? I know vtec can be controlled.... but can mivec be controlled?

 

one of current japanese mags (pretty sure it was the LancerEVO #25) has the HKS 9 cams and dyno results.

 

Yes thats why in the IX ECU map, there is a specific MIVEC table. Shiv talked about it a little in one of his "Definitive (sort of) IX ECU thread".

Post the article up.

 

When the Cams become available for USDM model IXs and if they make larger gains on the IX compared to VIIIs (I'm talking 10WHP to 20WHP) then that's it, I'm done. I'm scratching plans of purchasing a used 03-04 in June or July, and saving up another 6 or 7 months for a IX.

 

Good idea
