05' Mr Or Evo 9

Im trading in my 03 gsr, I am torn between the two, I like the MR 6 speed and other various differences, But I love the V-tec uh,uh,uh Mivec,The thought of actually having variable lift in the cams what the 4g63 has been lacking.Better gas mileage is a bonus as well. The price will be about the same.

MIVEC doesn't have lift. just valve timing.

what else about the MR do you like? would you keep it stock or modify it? because it wouldn't make sense to buy parts that are exclusive to the MR, just to replace them later on, i.e suspension.

good luck.

WRONG, IT works just like the honda VTEC, well actually your kinda on base
the lifters actuate in a variable time according the air fixture VIA the reputaions per minute or just RPMS

The MR is everything the 9 is pretty much, just less things to go wrong with it MIVEC and the front bumper are the only difference.

"It works just like VTEC and the lifters actuate in a variable time according the air fixture VIA the reputations per minute!!!!"

Someone shoot me (not the mods, though). I'm sorry, man, and to think you have been attacking me as someone who knows nothing.

Nothing to say. It just means the cost of living in Portland is about equal to Nigeria. My 1300ft^2 house costs me 1700/mo. I have a friend with an 8300ft^2 house that cost over 1 million, which is over 9k/month. My 4000ft^2 house in Colorado Springs will cost around 400k, so I guess Portland is a pretty cheap place to live...

No. Once again, you are wrong. It's only been covered 9 thousand times. MIVEC for the Evo DOES NOT HAVE LIFT.

Read this:

Ok the. MIVEC is the same generic variable valve timing mechanisms as Toyota's VVTi and BMW's VANOS and Double VANOS systems. In terms of Honda Engines, MIVEC and the like are the "i" in i-VTEC. The "i" stands for intelligent and is a reference to the variable valve timing control system that works inconjunction with the VTEC system. MIVEC is a variable valve timing system with fixed cam lobe profiles.

MIVEC only changes the relative alignment between the camshaft and its driving sprocket. This changes the relative timing between the intake and exhaust cams and thus their valve opening cycles or the intake and exhaust valve opening overlaps. No other valve timing parameters, including the amount of valve lift or valve opening duration are varied. The only thing that MIVEC varies is the valve opening overlaps. Also, MIVEC only varies the relative timing on the intake cam. AVCS, VVTi, and VANOS work the same way.

Think of it as a constantly adjusting, adjustable cam gear on the intake cam that retards timing based on engine RPM. The higher the RPM, the more valve closure timing is retarded. This allows the combustion chamber fill with more A/F, an obvious performance improvement. At low RPM, valve opening timing is retarded to improve combustion effieciency for low emissions and improved fuel consumption.

VTEC varies the amount of valve lift and valve opening duration using different, selectable cam lobe profiles on the same cam. The different profiles are selected and utilized hydraulically based on engine RPM. DOHC VTEC engines have variable intake and exhaust cam lobe profiles. SOHC VTEC engines have only varying intake lobe profiles.

Yeah depends on the cost of living but I was grinning to a possible comment that could be made with how he have a 7000 sqft house and rather take the house which I agree but still post his question. It's similar to someone who buys a hummer but complains about gas.

Sorry for the .



You can't go wrong with either car or even just keepin your car.
