Ugh, I had a feeling you'd do this sort of thing after your first post. I'm still trying to be nice here. Mivec is being added and that's all. Mivec is the Mitsubishi proprietary version of variable-valve timing (like V-Tec yes). The way you learn this stuff is by doing this:

http://google.com - EVO IX MIVEC

Then, you get all these nice little stories that explain the EVO IX changes, specifically the change to the intake system. I am having trouble understanding how you're going to be pwnerizing people left and right with your tricked-out EVO (in the future), but you don't even know the basics...or even how to use google.

i see -_-; so the mivec better step up to the plate then huh?

but ive seen a lot of mivec type ingines in glants and mirages, i didnt know this was an older style engine. im an idiot. i thought it was a brand new system. what was i thinking ^_^. sorry.

oh ya another question, that video of the evo 9 getting it around the track, i know the japan models are faster then the usa models, or so i have been told. but will the US model be anything like it? speed wise? how much slower?

Don't be a d ick, if you don't want to answer the question then don't. He's is just trying to figure it out. That's better than talking out of his behind about crap he doesn't know. Why be such a hater???

The brochure is floating around the net .. but its in japanese ..

So far .. Mivec is not similar to the VTECs .. more like the AVCS of the subaru or the NVCS of the Nissan .. it varies the cam timing up to 50 degrees ..

the basic engine is similar but the biggest difference other than the mivec is the magnesium-alloy turbo .. it's far lighter than any wheels right now so it spools up pretty fast.. other changes to the turbo include a bigger (read VERY BIG) compressor housing compared to the previous TD05 turbos (same compressor wheel size though)

improvements quoted by MMC includes increase in low-mid end torque and improvements in the fuel consumption (up to 10km/l)
peak torque is from 3000rpms to 6000rpms..

Actually I personally like the aerodynamic improvements in the new Evo .. surprising what they did for downforce and anti lift devices ..

Then of course there's the standard interior enhancements ..

indeed a search and a translater does a great deal
Not to mention after seeing the size of the turbo made me want to trade up my 7 for the 9!

the mivech actually is quite different that everything that has been said so far. the mivech has 4 valves like most 4 cyl heads, but instead of all the intake valves opening up completely at the same time, one opens 10 mm's and the other opens at like 2mm's or 4mm's i cant remember excatly. when the mivech kickes it, it opens both valves to 10mm's. so the cam timing doesnt really move. it just locks both intake valve rocker arms together. oh and the #'s are now at 300 across the board for the evo 9.

Blah blah, hater this, hater that. No one here knows anything other than what they've read, and we've all seen numerous posts about the EVO IX pointing to stories all over the net. It's not like anyone here has some innate ability to KNOW about the EVO IX. He's just being lazy and hoping we'll spoon-feed him everything. I was very cordial on his first ignorant post, but he's since done 4 or 5 more, all of which were easily answered with quick searches. If you notice, he claims to search but somehow never finds anything, whereas the rest of us find the information immediately.

He's just a dumb kid who better not get an Evo until he's much more mature, because he'll either 1) blow the engine/tranny after having already voided his warranty, 2) get in a bad wreck while street racing and injure himself, or 3) find out that he can't afford the $1100 or so per month that it costs him to pay/insure/fuel his EVO, then have to sell it at a big loss.
