Well, like any n/a car, if you're not in the correct gear, of course there will be a lag.

Don't forget to video it

 

^u can see what im talking about, in the clips i did, the last part is from a stop in second gear

 

MIVEC is dependant on oil pressure. Take it from someone who has stripped the car down, and converted from 1.6 to 2.4 - Oil pressure determines MIVEC switch - I got mine to not swtich at all by adding an oil cooler, which messed up the system pressure. I have an LED wired to the Mivec control valve, which lights up when the switch takes place. It swtiches at 3500rpm. But if your oil pressure is wrong - it will switch later.

If you car engages MIVEC at 4500rpm - your oil pressure is not correct, as its meant to swtich at 3500rpm.

 

Anyone know about the new motor (4b11)or where i can find some info on the MIVEC switch over ?????????????????

 

Just google the new Mitsubishi lancers or search the threads. Tons of info.

Try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_4B_engine or just google "Mitsubishi 4B11 engine" or something.

 

Thanks mate! Still didnt find what i was looking for but, there was some cool shyt in that link.

 

Thats okay.

What were you actually after in particular?

 

Wanted to see some graphs in hp and rpm and when mivec ingages.

 

Not sure if we can get that yet as the car is relatively new.

Should see floating around the net soon!

 

^im looking for a cheap dyno place near me, just to get graphed with the current little mods i have to see compared to stock... and maybe get tuned

 

Where abouts are you Stevo? WA?

 

^ lol, for i think the third time VIC, lol :P

 

I see, sorry I keep forgetting lol.

 

05YRA, mivec didn't kick in "hard".

He was in 1st gear, and was turning, so he baby'd the corner to minimize wheel spin. Then he hit the accelerator at 3500rpm (give or take), and chirp'd it into second. I can see why you thought he had an aggressive switch-over.

Nice find though

 

see i just changed my oil and, i feel the power now more so at about 4200 but i know it changes at 3500 ish but the power and sound of it all comes around 4200 and + or minus a bit, thats just me though
