to be honest , compared B16A/B vtec, mivec lacks the power in the third gear due to its gearbox ratio. But thank god, a displacement change could change everything. that's why i install a 4g93 block to my mivec head (it takes a couple of losses to some vtecs and a blown engine). But still, when you change displacement, you still want to pick on someone your own size too. it runs fine alright, but from here, all i want is a very quick response. i have seen a 1.8 mivec with stock pistons, LSD gearbox and just a VAFC kill the pride of a 3S owner, beat up an FTO mivec v6 on the highway, even make 2-3 toyota owners sell their blacktops and supercharger and this is what i get from him.
1. for a 1.8 mivec:-
a)need to use 2 liters materials.
b? importance of a quick response rather than the feel when mivec engages.you
know when you got quick response, it's impossible for a mivec to feel the way it
so, after a couple of tries and some communication between me and him, i install an evo distributor with a set of toyota (i dont know what model but it fits) and a set of evo 3 coil.He even changed my exhaust setup from 2.2 inch all the way to a 1.8 inch straight until my tank, and from there a 2.3 inch piping.We changed the VAFC setup and my god, the response are so marvelous that i wanna scream and shout.but still, his ride was better because he got LSD and i dont.he had a 2nd stage chip and mine was just a raceline custom chip.So i can still look it up in the dictionary, and see my car plate second to his next to the word that says "fxxk u AEF 1898"..haha
