What Motors Have This?

I Dunno Know Shit About Mitsubishi And I Am Just Curious





Thanx

Check out this place if you want to see some crazy pictures of the Mivec....

 

Looks like a cross of a 92 civic hatch and a focus...just my .02 cents.

 

I Thought That The Mivec Was Like Some Kind Of Vtec

 

it is some kind of vtec. I don't know much about them except that they came in the fto's which we never got here.

they can probably tell you more about it than anyone here.

 

FTO's are awesome looking, but i think they need a turbo, lol

 

FTO's look sweet, too bad they are NA and heavy as shit.

I thought the MIVEC was mitsu's own version of gasoline direct injection... had superior tumbling effect in the cylinders and allowed for ultralean burn during low throttle/cruising conditions and also allowed for super mega good fuel economy considering the displacemnt and power of the motor.

 

I agree with his description, it's direct injection, I don't remember how it works as it's been a long time since I read the article, but it's a very different way of injecting fuel that leads to at least a 10% increase in power and fuel economy. Several car companies have it in other markets, but our fuel has unacceptable levels of some contaminant that messes up the current generation... I think I'll research this again when I wake up in the morning, now I'm curious.

 

mivec is much like vtec. mivec was created before honda came out with VTEC, but honda used vtec much more widely then mitsu, and they did it in the states, while mitsu didn't feel we needed for some odd reason. most of today's mivec systems use direct fuel injection (which owns all other forms of fuel injection) and 3-staged cam lobs (compared to hondas two-stage set-up) that are used in three different rpm ranges (1: 0-3000rpm, 2: 3001-6000, 3: 6001- 9000, this is just an example). but the mivec itself is just the staged cam lob system, that's why you can use a vtec controller to manipulate your mivec engagment in the same exact manner.

this is my understanding.

Mitsubishi really made vast improvements on direct fuel injection technology for the industry, and their DI system runs on a sick-as-fuck 700 psi of fuel pressure that's produced by an engine-feed injection pump. coupled with mivec, you can extract massive amounts of HP and super-efficent gas milage with direct injection.

 

The Question Originally Came Up When I Got A Field Vtec Controller, It Says In The Front Honda Vtec / Mitsubishi Mivec Controller
