Evo 9 engine is mounted COMPLETELY opposite then the Evo 9.

OMG, Mitsu has done it again!!! :-D

They should do a more VTECish based version of MIVEC. The variable valve timing stuff that companies like Mitsu and Toyota use is ok, but it doesn't make the kind of power that the alternate cam lobe Honda VTEC stuff does. And now with the K-series Honda motors, they use both the variable valve/cam timing and the alternate lobes.

Hopefully Mitsu isn't going to goto throttle-by-wire also, so that there isn't any standalones available for the car and I wouldn't want a Mitsu implementation of a shitty less responsive torque controlling throttle-by-wire system to deal with.
according to alot of car mags. The mivec has better seemless power. They said it still has a good amount of torque, where as the honda's vtec and yota's vvti lack a bit in the low end department.

My bad i meant Evo 8.

Also this MIVEC stuff doesnt cause that much of a difference stock. But for further tuning i guarantee its better then this V-tech mumbo jumbo. And if not.. Then ill wait for the pics that say "mivec's kickin in yo!"

jakey was right, you really don't put any thought or effort into anything you have to say. explain how a simple mechanism that advances and retards cam timing is superior to a system that does the same AND has a whole separate, more aggressive cam profile that it can switch over to.

and the evoIX engine is mounted backwards from the 8? pics of proof or stfu.

Looks to me like the engine on the 9 is on the same side as the 8,

I could be wrong

[Shane@DBPerformance]

IX is a 4G63, Evo X isn't.

[iceminion]

Evo 9 engine is mounted COMPLETELY opposite then the Evo 8. So theres another difference. Also the Evo 9 does have a mivec head but the same 4g63 block. Suspension and everything needed to be changed to mount it because they used the rhd engine from Japan in the American Evo 9. Reading reviews in several magazines they say that the Evo 9 might be the last Eevo again ever because Ralliart and the other company involved with making the Evo's wanted to make a newer, lighter, 2 door model.

*I am just sharing what i read not neccesarily Facts*

It's not backwards from what the 8 was. I want some of whatever you're smokin!

Wow, you need to chill out. Proof of pics? This whole thread is based on information that someone's read somewhere. No one here is involved with the development of the Evo 9 or any other of th Evos. At this point, MOST of everything in here is SPECULATION.

edit: had to use bold function since some can't read correctly. Before your picture all it was is talk.

Mista Mista, that is the Evo9 motor above. What more proof do you need?
