Mivec 1.8

[lancelot_adolph]

gspot,

yeah, would like to go,

but current alignment/steering problem is giving me

a headache, got to solve that problem first,


so arb + lowerarm bar are the suspect items?

 

[Rainracer]

Wow...Which workshop for MIVEC 1.8 conversion? What an interesting question.....I want to know too? Besides those mentioned above any more with successful conversion or dyno result to prove?

 

[Kenboy]

lets just say that to get a good and relaible rojak job, you cannot cut corners and skimp here and there. get all the proper things, and discuss in depth with your mech how he is gonna richen up the AF mix, and which pistons he is gonna use and why and where is ori proton and where is not.

the best way is to get a halfcut, with the gearbox and the proper wiring and electronics.

Lance,
Well just a hunch.. need to send your car in to the specialist for diagnosis.

Rain,
I recommend, Ah Spot Motorsport! Can even Mivec your lawn mower!! :D

 

[gspot]

Where to do Supercharge-Turbo Mivec ah? :huh:

 

[llsaw]

Eh.. spotty bro, how are you doing? when are you due back in Penang? 160+ at the wheels eh? Great stuff!!!

 

[gspot]

Gibod,
U using the Mivec pistons on the 4g93 block ah? Maybe should check your head..err.. engine head for gasket leaks. U using 0.4 or 0.8 gaskets? Maybe should check the intake manifold too for leaks or cracks. Mivec manifolds are kinda weak especially at the engine side. If everything is okay.. need to do compression test and then check your lower.. i mean engine block. :)

yeah.. i can see leaking at the head gasket and oso the lower gasket.. :( would changing gasket onli can resolve my problem ?.. maybe the gasket is old edi.. how much would a metal gasket be?.. and what is the appropriate size?..

if u said mivec manifold is week.. then what manifold is good and strong?

my piston is mitsu 1.8 piston.. is it good?..

 

[DDgreystar]

1.8 piston, very gud ....its a market standard...no worries dude

 

[gspot]

Somehow, the Mitsu pistons will give a lower compression compared to the Protons.. ..

[DDgreystar]

[gspot]

Yeah.. yeah Kevin... what's the "herbal" stuff under the bonnet? Where's the garage? Am keen to mod... :)

 

[llsaw]

Spotty Bro,

So when will you be back in Penang? Interested in carbon gt mirrors? :lol:

 

[gspot]

Waaa.. new product ah? Maybe can check out when I come back? Say, u have the CF engine head/spark plug cable cover for Mivec??

Need to get'em covers.. just snapped one of my NGK racing cables (ya la.. cable snaking around) when i close the hood. And sad news is that Desmond N-1 ran out of the NGK racing cables..and the Ultra cables are a wee bit too expensive at RM4XX even after discount. So got the "normal" NGK semi-sillicones instead..

 

[llsaw]

Spotty,

Nope.. don't have for the MIVEC but can engineer one for you if you're interested.. U should have gotten the NGK power cables from elsewhere like KSP, SS, etc. I'm sure there are lots of stocks.. Just imported a nice set of Cusco front lower arm bar for my monster :lol:

 

[gibod_78]

bro.. just asking.. a lower arm bar.. where does it being place?.. is it the top bar that we always see in engine bay?

Saw,
Some light weight alloy I presume? 4 pointer i guess??

Anyway, must be some real dumb ass luck.. seems everyone ran out of stocks on that faithfull day.. Somehow, the standard ngk aftermarket cables still performs as well as the racing ones..on gut feel...

Zenegger,
Ah.. shall I call you Governator? Mivecator? Just kiddin'.. is it the MMOC TT? Or the "other" Mivec club? Say u guys joining the 4G TT?
