Mivec engines give off a very smooth transition during crossover for reasons i explained earlier.

louder cam crossover sound means 'shock' cam transition, subtler means smoother.
usually, this 'shocking' feeling tend to make the driver feel an extra psycho-horsies. :rolleyes:

They say (according to Malaysian law) you are allowed to transplant an engine from another manufacturer only once during the course of the car's life. Not sure whether that is true or not.

Whatever it is, you are better off sticking with something Mitsubishi. You won't as much trouble transplanting in terms of finding the right mounts for the engine. I'd recommend going 4g93t, the Waja is a bit of a beast in terms of weight and size. A Mivec 1.6 might feel a bit sluggish and depending on the condition of the engine may or may not produce enough horsepower.

Generally Mivecs are known to produce anywhere from 130whp to 140whp. The latter only if you were born under a lucky star. This is mostly due to the length of time since the engine was first produced.

For Wajas i believe you can use a CK Mivec engine which will be much newer, and therefore will probably produce more power but that is based on the condition of the engine.

Likewise a CK 4g93t with a 4 speed tiptronic which would be great on long journeys.
