hi wajafly,
i m using mivec (wira) with some minor mod, share my exp....
1. feel like normal car below 4krpm, good fuel consumption...
2. feel like modded car after 4krpm, fuel meter start moving
3. Only have slight feels of kick in when mivec open, maintain at least 35% of petrol otherwise ll have fuel warning.
4. Open pod filter does make diff, recommended!
5. 2.1" with bullet with exhaust (not straight flow) din lose much power at low rev, good response at high rev.
6. Grounding wire, maybe my engine is old i really have strong feel after i install it.
7. fuel regulator, dun feel anything... but i believe is good to maintain fuel pressure
8. i have been reveived so many criticise when i did my mivec conversion, so i believe you ll have the same journey as me, but so what? thats our own private ride!! for those unknown ppl who might keep on mocking at you, pls ignore them, strongest engine without mod is 4G63, if i have a choice i would go for it but i want my ride legal on road therefore... "MIVEC"!! and the defination of modifying is no money no hp regardless of engine...
9. my current plan is to turbocharge it become a mini evo9 : ), now collecting information and parts, ll maintain 1.6block, coupled wif ball bearing turbine, either gt2835 or 2871 or 3037. natural aspirated wise, mitsu might lose to vtec due to the head design, perhaps the only strength is mitsu engine tougher...
