^ We have Mivec, it supposedly better than vtec according to some youtube video (great source, I know). And the SI is WAY faster than a stock 08 lancer. Regular civics should be slower tho.

 

Yes and no, Mivec has a low and high RPM performance profile, while VTECH only has a mid to high RPM performance profile. Generally this is why hondas have a higher RPM REDLINE, next to the rotary engine from mazda, a honda is ment to be driving hard. lol make that fart cant scream

 

lancer weight at least 500 pound heavier than civics

eventhou 4B11 engine produce a little bit more power than theirs but i still dont have much confidence on my GTS(18inch rims even make it acclerate slower)

i have a group of real life friends they all drive honda, i can call them Honda's family,
Fit, Civic coupe(not Si) and a RSX-S, integra-R/S2000 etc

No doubt i smoked the stupid Fit sport easily (didnt even fully step on the gas pedal cuz the engine is still new and it has not break in yet)

im gonna race the civic coupe(manual) next.. but i dont want my new car lose to a chicken civic, so yeah hahaha

 

haha ull take a civic with ease.. plus i dont feel any MIVEC kick at all.. u can feel VTEC.. i drove my friends 2000 em1 SI and u can feel it.. and he only has SRI so dunno what all this MIVEC talk is.. i think its just hokus pokus

 

MIVEC is engaged from the beginning thats why you dont feel it, even the switch over from 4000 RPM and higher is seemless.

A honda has to get above 4 or 5 thousand and stay there or its dead in the water

 

does anyone have the Tsudo n1 extreme axleback exhaust?

 

after listening to evo soul...i mightt waitt till summer or fall to get my exhaustt =P

 

evo soul is like the master and we are just the young grasshoppers LOL

 

Not sure I quite follow this statement...Can you explain in more detail?

 

It mostly depends on your driving style and how far you have the accelerator pushed. I've noticed that sometimes when I have the accelerator pushed about 50% to 75% down I'll get a pretty big surge around 3500/4000 RPM. However, when I'm flooring it the transition is barely noticeable.

 

MIVEC is always operational, meaning that the engine management system adjusts the valve timing at all engine speeds according to the demands of the driver. If you're just 'tooling around' then it'll be in 'economy mode'. If your flooring it, MIVEC will adjust the valve timing to give you the as much power as Mitsu deemed necessary from very low RPMs. There's still a step up in power around 3500/4000RPM, but when you're flooring it, it isn't a huge jump in power, because the MIVEC system already started altering the valve timing way down low in RPMs.

Essentially, MIVEC is always operational continuously adjusting the valve timing according to needs at all RPMs. It doesn't just "kick in" when you hit a magical RPM range.

 

regular civics that i-Vetch is a garbage, it helps to save a little bit more gasoline only, its different with TypeR/S, S2000 those Big Vtech

 

The GReddy Ti-C will be back in stock on March 10th, 2008.

If you're on back order your shipment should be sent out on that date, I don't get paid til the 11th of march so that's when i'm ordering mine.

 

whered u get this information??

 

more to what Nanyas said, the best way to explain would be to quote directly from Mitsubishi's mouth

Remarkable MIVEC Engine makes power performance and environmental protection compatible
MIVEC = Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system
The dual-intake valve camshaft enables changing between low-speed and high-speed modes, resulting in easy operation from low to high rpms, improving the driving experience when starting from a stop light, merging onto the freeway, or accelerating to overtake another car. In the pursuit of pure driving enjoyment, potentially incompatible goals like fuel economy, environment-friendliness, and clean driving have all been achieved.
[Low-speed Mode]
The difference in the dual-intake valve lift (low lift and medium lift) and enhanced in-cylinder streaming further stabilize combustion without compromising fuel economy, emissions, and torque.
[High-speed Mode]
Extending the injection valve opening time and expanding the valve lift range increases intake air mass and achieves output close to best in class.
The Grandis is equipped with the 2.4L MIVEC and the Colt is equipped with with the 1.3 and 1.5L MIVEC.
