Cant seem to find a simple definition of what a MIVEC engine is... Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

 

Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control system

"if you open the throttle it can give the valves a longer duration and longer stroke providing maximum and efficient power and torque at all engine speeds"

 

isn't it just mitsubishi's vtec?

 

yes

 

every car company has some sort of VTEC, hondas was just the first, and most succesful. they all have some sort of weird abbreviation. good luck learning them.

 

i like the mivec better than vtec, but that may also be since i have never driven a honda other than the one i own, so there may be something wrong with mine i dont know.

 

mivec = make teh car go faster


that's all that matters

but not really, these guys got it nailed, Mitsu's variable valve timing system

 

Hey, if you know japanese... check out this link, it explains (in video) what MIVEC is.

Wow that video was confusing lol.

 

I believe bmw (i think there's is called veno) was the first to have vtec not honda. could be wrong.

 

Mivec is Mitsubishi's Vtec.
