Hi everyone, I have been searching on this forum for a long time for the mivec conversions and upgrades rather then creating a new topic, but now I have questions piled up and I had to make a new topic. I request all the experts to share their view and experience. Finally after a long time wait is over I saved sufficient amount of money in order to to do the mivec conversion from 1.6L to 1.8L. I have few questions please I'll be needing your advice. Here is the list of stuff I already have with me.
1- 4G92 Mivec Complete with wiring, gearbox, ecu etc. 4G92 Mivec is from CJ4A chassis blacktop.
2- 4G93 SOHC Complete with wiring, gearbox, ecu etc.
3- Spare gearbox of 4G94
4- ACT Racing Clutch 6Puck.
5- Apexi Vafc and Apexi Safc.
6- LC 1 Innovate wide band
Now here is the list which I'm planning to do mods.
1- Planning to buy ITB's.
2- Jun type 2 cams, with complete valves, retainers and springs.
3- Adjustable cam gears.
Now here is the list of silly questions.
1- I'll be using 4G93 SOHC block, which pistons should I go for ? 4G93 SOHC pistons or 4G92 Mivec pistons ? I have been reading on this forum that if we use Mivec pistons we need thicker gasket in order to lower the compression a bit. Is that true ? Need experts opinion.
2- Which timing belt should I use, I'll be using adjustable cam gears.
3- Do I need to upgrade the bearings like to ACL or any other brand or stock Bearings will be able to handle 8200rev. I guess Mivec Gen 2 got 8200rpms ?
4- What should be the lbs torque for pistons and head ?
5- Can I get the ITB's for the Mivec or do I need to modify from the 4AGE 20V ?
6- Do I need to replace the injectors or injectors from Mivec will work out ?
7- I have been reading on many forums that mivec is faster in terms of paper in comparison with vtec. But in the real world it still lack behinds due to better gear ratios of vtec. If I swap with 4G93 gearbox with my mivec. Is it useful as 4G93 got bigger ratios ? I'm talking about the 400m drag scenario.
8- Is it necessary that I need a standalone ? Can I use Apexi Vafc for fueling ?
Aim is for 400m drag. Thank u all.
