[QUOTE="exigezero, post: 131122, member: 4954"] Hi, I used to own a mivec turbo Satria. the car was featured in motor trader write up when i modded it. can say i have the experience to tell what are possible mod of mivec turbo 4G93. I bought the halfcut 4G93T. convert to a 4G93T mivec. Now the question is...can it be done? obviously it is possible. Coz i've driven it. How it can be done is a tough one. first, u need to solve the problem of timing belt. Secondly, the head gasket. Need to be thicker. i used a very thick gasket...cant remember how thick, but it is made of copper. thirdly, u need to bore the block slightly, to reduce the friction. Then the biggest problem is to activate the mivec when it is required. I've used the RSM shift light theory to do it, but it is sad to say, i burned the RSM with first attempt. So dont ever try to do so. At the end of it, it is pretty easy, just tap the signal from the rev meter. Once the rev exceed 5000rpm, it will send a signal n trigger the mivec to open and close when the rev is below 5000rpm. Then have to make sure the engine is fed with enough fuel. Changed it to RX-7 fuel injectors n used the Apexi S-AFC to adjust accordingly. but petrol consumption is damn high. kekeke. Dynoed the car at 230bhp on wheels boost at 0.9 bar. Tried with 1.0 bar, but the engine misfire..so stick with it on 0.9 bar. running around for about a year before i sold my car. by that time, the mivec head is not in very good condition already..due to constant dragging n rev to max. cut off at 8200 rpm. But overall, it was a good experience. i think i blew 5-7k on the conversion, lost count on how much i spent on it. [/QUOTE]
