The Finale : MIVEC 1.8 Hybrid

Hi guys!

As i promised in the last two post, here is the picture of my engine bay. Introducing new heart for my ride, MIVEC 1.8



After a week of testing this setup, the car behave just like what i have wanted for this daily driven car. Power below 5000 RPm is just like any other 1.8 vvt (maybe better) but the power when the MIVEC kicks in ( 5200 PRM ) is veryyyyyyyyyy orgasmic all the way to rev cut ( 8200 RPM ). Really love the sound of the MIVEC crossover. I'M LOVING IT!!!

For the time being i planned to let it stock. Hmm... but i think not for so long. LOL. Really into engine modification. Maybe it is in my blood already. LOL. But one thing for sure i want to unleash the power without have to put in any performance high camshaft first. Wanna see how far this 'stock' 2 in 1 camshaft can do with add-on parts =)

All i wanna do now are to find new header & adjustable camshaft pulley. Gonna start saving up. Parts for MIVEC ain't cheap. I think ,most MIVEC users can understand what i meant. Hehe.

Regards
