Alright Miss-understanding from the article on the mounting of the engine because it was talking about the opposite mounting of the new mivec evo 9 engine compared to the common 4g63(found in our cars) which is mounted opposite to that. I was assuming including evo8 but after further reading I admit I was wrong.

As for the mivec vtec comment.. I was reffering to his thing about a v-tec like mivec head and how if that happened there would be jokes about the mivec just like there is about the v-tec and I was saying that the mivec head is better then this v-tec crap.

Do you know how they respectively work? Didn't think so, keep your mouth shut unless you have actual facts to back it up.

BOVADDICT · 10-26-2005

Also notnormal, I was banned because of incorrect punctuation and capitalization; Which you are lacking.

BOVADDICT · 10-27-2005

Well it seems that I am typing so my mouth can be shut.
Anyway, Personal opinion doesnt need facts does it now? Thats all I have to say.

Personal opinion does not need fact you are correct, but your statement was worded as fact wherein the problem lies. If you are going to make such a strong statement, no matter what it is regarding, you better be able to back it up with fact or at least strong theory. Have you used both? Do you have experience with both? Do you know the technical aspects of each? How do they differ? How are the similar? Step up to the plate and show me you know what you're talking about.

Actually, if you would have paid attention in 7th grade English; you would've learned that facts are not necessarily truth.

Seventh grade english has nothing to do with defining what a fact is or is not.

Fact is considered to be truth to the best of current knowledge. Sometimes "facts" and truth are proven wrong, which is what I am waiting for Paintball to do regarding this sitatuion. Unfortunately, he does not have a clue what he is talking about and has no real practical knowledge regarding more automotive technical information.

you really need to just go away. you came onto this board and pissed people off, and things haven't gotten any better.

VTEC is better than MIVEC, VVT-I, VTC, etc. VTEC is like put in some Crane Stage 10 cams. MIVEC and VVT-I are like putting on cam gears. What do cam gears do? Not too much. I know it isn't as simple as that... Now Honda has iVTEC which does both. I wish Mitsu would come out with a variable lift system, instead of just a variable cam timing system.

BOVADDICT · 10-27-2005

Ok Honda is better then Mitsu. If they are different systems and do different things then how can you compare em? Anyway I have used v-tech when messing with my friends old turbo civic. He also had a v-tec computer to make it kick in at like 2500 instead of 4500 or w/e it does. It was nice and with a no lag turbo setup it hauled. My other buddy who has a evo9 mivec that lives in cali next to my moms house has upgrades in it. He has cams, cam gears, new manifolds, full exhaust, new ic piping, 20g, intake, and other expensive shit you can find on a rich cali kid father bought car. He showed me stuff he could do with the mivec for some pretty good gains with his setup. The v-tec all we could do is put in this compute so it got him that lil hp gain. Anyway im not familiar with either but from what ive seen of both the mivec seemed more tunable with some controller he had when tuning threw his laptop. I don't know tuning for shit, I dont know pretty much anything about either since I am new to DSM and never honda. I was nissan and they didnt have either. I'll shut up now about this topic but the 2 door statement is true i made earlier.

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 10-27-2005

You don't have to tune VTEC. Lowering it to 2500 would only make it lose HP. You want the VTEC crossover at the optimal point for the most power under the curve. With it set perfect, you should not feel it engage at all.

BOVADDICT · 10-27-2005

Thanks for that knowledge. He blew up his civic so I can't really tell him that now. He now drives a srt-4 ACR

**Kracka** · 10-27-2005

So he has to different Neon's combined into one?

BOVADDICT · 10-27-2005

It's the fuckin ACR you picky bitch. It's white, 4 doors, goes vroom vroom, and sometimes the tires grip.

Wait, so is it a SRT4 or an ACR? Those are two very different models.

BOVADDICT · 10-27-2005

Its the 4 door white neon srt4 but the whatever upgrade acr edition with better supsension, 20g i believe, 15psi stock, and some fancy seats.

I admitted that I don't know about tuning too. not trying to sound like I do so i'll be carefull when wording responses about systems unless I am familiar with both. Sorry.

get this back on topic.

Just for fun, I'll throw this into the mix. An article about the EvoX in Autoweek this week. I scanned it at a good res so you can actually read the article, not just see the pics. They're claiming engine will 'remain the same' but they're claiming it'll match up to a "clutchless 6-speed auto/manual transmission" ...cool read, nice pics.
