MIVEC is nothing like V-TEC in design, the v-tec design has a more radical effect on the engine.

We will have to wait and see what the EVO shops can do with the new mivec engines.

BTW, MIVEC in the EVO is really MIVEC minus the EC. The EVO doesn't recieve the full MIVEC treatment, just the valve timing which is like an adjustable cam gear thats controlled by the ECU. MIVEC in the EVO is far inferior to v-tec.
