This post makes the front and back parts of my brain want to rub together.

Lets take honda parts and slap them in our mitsus. They're both cars, it should work, right?

never forget: with enough time, money, and sheer pointless determination, anything is possible.


...we shall call it... V-Vec, Hondabishi tuning at its best.... pure genious.

 

VVT-i is alot like mivec, and i-vtec also its used in is300's and celicas and other toyotas

 

mivec only changes cam timing like an adjustable cam gear that moves all the time when driving when the ecu tells it to(half of honda's i-vtec, this was added to the original vtec when they went from b to k series engines), vtec actually locked rocker arms together at a certain rpm to switch to a totally different cam lobe(more aggressive) so you can obtain good power down low and switch to an almost race profile over 5,000 rpms. this is why b-series vtec cams cost considerably more than other types of cars, they have an extra lobe for each cylinder.

 

From what I've read and seen, it's the other way around. RA MIVEC only controls lift, while Evo MIVEC controls lift and timing. The EVO has an added part on one cam pulley that adds timing control, which the RA lacks.

Ours only controls intake, not sure about the Evo's. I think theirs is only intake, as well.


EDIT: After digging through the manual, I see the RA does control intake valve timing to a certain degree. Hope the formatting works...

 

so it controls intake and exhaust, and the different profiles in the cam modify timing? I think that is what this is saying. And I am not sure that it controls ignition timing. I think the degree measurements are the amount of lift the valves are getting. hence "valve timing" I am probably wrong on this part though, I am just putting something out there.

 

Nope, it doesn't control exhaust valves at all. The ECU controls ignition timing, this is only valve timing. The degrees listed are opening and closing of the valves. Yes, the lift changes, too. I should see if I can find the specs on valve lift.

 

good find Myszkewicz, thats for this information, those 34 degrees make a big diff in the upper ranges. i wish that it controled exhaust though. oh well

 

When it says "low speed cam A and B" does'nt it mean "low speed lobe A and B"?? I mean, you're the one with the manual, but at least to me it makes more sense this way... I'll explain myself; what I am suggesting is that by opening one valve just after the other AT LOW SPEEDS, it might have a "swirl effect" that would make the air/fuel get more/better mixed inside the cylinder (kind of like the way VTEC-e works), thus giving better fuel economy while improving power.

 

Guys,
Just to clear things up the only thing better that the US Lancer Ralliart have against the Evo (any evos) are your imaginations. Keep on dreaming guys.

 

Wow u just killed the english language

 

Wow, what a poorly written sentence. Imagine you have a brain and try using it for school.

 

yeah thanks for the dipsh|t post man. nice chatting with you, now go back to your rock.

 

Thank you.
