The great thing about the EJ20 and all horizontally opposed engines is the balance inherent in their design. They don't require stuff like balance shafts which add drag to the engine thus lessening the amount of usable power, so basically they are more efficient compared with you're average inline 4. Their design also makes them more compact and gives them a lower centre of gravity which leads to better balance overall for the car (one of the main reasons subarus handle so well).They may look like crap on top and be a bitch to work on but they are a really well designed engine.. almost better than a Honda engine..oh no, did I say that :eek:
As for VTEC vs MIVEC, VTEC is great because you can sense the instant shift to the angrier cam profile making it feel like more of a performance engine but the MIVEC is a continuously variable system not an on off system so it is more adaptable to the conditions plus it incorporates timing variation as well as lift variation (plus the new ones have variable inlet tract length as well). MIVEC engines can go just as hard as VTEC engines however the philosophy behind them isn't the same. VTEC was designed as a method of making engines more powerful for a given displacement by giving them 2 power bands whereas MIVEC was designed to make engines produce medium displacement power with small displacement fuel economy.
As for aftermarket support, there is heaps of support for MIVEC in the US and Japan, just not here because we didn't really get any cars equipped with MIVEC until recently and then mostly from grey import FTOs..
Deinatly VTEC@!!!!
The 1.8L MIVEC hybrid motor is created by bolting a 4G92 MIVEC head onto the 4G93 DOHC block. A rather pointless conversion though since the 6A12 MIVEC is cheaper, more cubes, more cylinders, more torque, and more power :)Quote:

Evo 9 Mivec is variable timing only
hey nice to see you posting again gambate...
i remember that volk rim avatar everytime i see it :)
ive experienced mivec and compared to vtec, u dont feel the transition much. The only thing kool about mivec is the Roar. :D
I think a long time ago this was posted on another forum, a 1.6 vtec v 1.6 mivec.
I dont know of any 1.6 MIVEC engine that outpowers the b16B, but i stand to be corrected here. I dont pay much attention to the mistubishi range, but can anyone tell me whether there is a 1.6 MIVEC that makes more power?
B16b has the highest output for N/A categories in the world...if i'm wrong, tell me...hmm...am i wrong?..ehh...hmmm.....
but Mivec is not that bad...Evo MR is not bad what...Mivec with turbo..hmm...beat that...

EVO MR is a 2lt engine no? nice snail too..
S2K SC beats it nicely i think :p
i'm assuming that pgclee is comparing the b16b with the other N/A 1.6l engines around the world..
