I am almost done with my 4g64 2.4L build. I've been having people tell me that it's a good thing to have mivec and others tell me it's just one more thing that might fail. I already have a built head with 1mm over sized valves. Springs and retainers and hks 272 cams. What is required to delete mivec and what is required to run it on a 2.4L. I know if I will run it I'll need to get a mivec oil line, adjustable cam gear for the exhaust side. Ok now here is what confuses me. How do I adjust the cam gear timming on the exhaust side if I keep the oem intake cam gear and use a adjustable exhaust one.
Thanks guys.

 

Contact English Racing, they seem to know more than anyone else about these builds. I sure wouldn't listen to friends since they truely have no clue what they are talking about and are just blowing smoke.

 

I will email English but I highly doubt that they will give out that kind of information unless I will be buying stuff from them wich I am. The friends that are telling me to either run it or no. All have owned or still own modded evo's. I am a Honda owner and own a turbo integra ls and owned a integra gsr for 3 years that ram 13.s with boltons and a tune. All this evo and mivec stuff is new to me
Thanks

 

I think English has at least a few 2.4LR's out there with a MIVEC head. I know I will be putting a MIVEC head on either my 2.3 or 2.4.

 

in order to get the proper mivec range of advance using a 4g64 block you need to modify the mivec gear for more travel. Its hit or miss sometimes with it. I don't think any vendor will mod one for a customer due to liability of piston to valve contact.

 

Is there a how to on modifying the mivec cam gear? What are my options as to leaving the mivec gear on there and running a adjustable cam gear on the exhaust side?

Scanned tru your long rod build. Looks bad ***. Can't wait till mines is up and running. Also I didn't know you can use a oem mivec line. What mods did you have to do I order to install it?

 

I like it and fully approve the previous messages.

It is best with a modified MIVEC gear (at least the easy version) and big cams.

 

never heard of Mivec being a disadvantage. Matter of fact I have never heard of Mivec failing. Failing in what way? Did they elaborate?

 

Can you pm me a price for a modified mivec gear.
Thanks


Nope they did not elaborate. I am new to this mivec stuf. I drove a 97 integra gsr for 3 years prior to purchasing my06 evo9 with a seized built 2.1L engine due to oil starvation. Learning new thing every day. Like today i found out i will have to pull that little thing out of the crank so that the flywheel can sit on it properly. Hopefully i can do it with the crank in the block since its all assembled with the head on it.

 

i agree with Aaron MIVEC def has its advantages its just making it work correctly with your aftermarket parts. why else do you think guys like Kevin Kiggly are figuren out ways to run the MIVEC heads in 4g63 dsm's ?
