Generally MIVEC engines aren't exactly common in Australia, most likely to find one in an FTO, late-model EVOs, some new Lancers, and Galant/Legnums, and just about all of them will be imports. Not every model will have MIVEC, so do your research somewhere more knowledgable (like a Bitsamissing forum).

Most of your standard everyday lancers have mivec that arent imports.

Only newer ones, like from about 2005-2006 onwards, which got the 2.4 from the Grandis/Outlander, and they're hardly fireballs (unlike the ones the imports got). It's like saying that most of your everyday standard Corollas have VVTi (only ZZE-onwards do)

You do realise that mivec has been around for almost 20 years.

Yes, I know that. The first one was the 4G92, in the Cyborg Mirage. So have most variable valve timing technologies, but like most of them in the early days it was restricted to performance models, and Australia got next to none of those gun performance Mitsubishi models (FTO, Cyborg Mirage, Evo, Legnum VR4 etc) apart from imports and the odd Evo and GTO. It was only introduced on mass-produced local models here in the early 2000s.

So does that mean that your 1st post is misleading?

 

And it is nothing like basing vvti on a toyota.

It appeared in Australia in the Grandis and Outlander in something like 2003 (which I class as "early 2000s"), and then the Lancer in 2005. Most people don't go looking to people-movers and SUVs for engine conversions :lolcry:

 

And i was using VVT/VVTi (valve timing as a concept for Toyota, even though they are technically different) as an example because it started out on performance engines (JZ series, 20Vs etc), but then spread to bread-and-butter models over the years. Just about every Toyota engine sold in a car these days has variable valve timing, but it's only something that has occured over the last 5-10 years, despite the technology being around for twice that.

 

There are big differences between "in existance", "available" and "readily available", differences which can be significant when you're looking for an unusual engine conversion to carry out.

so if mivec engines have been around for 15-20 yrs

 

what lancer or mirage models have the mivec engine

I'm specifically lookin for 1.8 and 1.6 variants

proton adopted mirage design and engine

look on youtube for 1.6 mivec

and have a look at the speedos change

 

i want this engine which can be worked to go into a KE what ever model

Also Hyundai.

[MYSTIK[RL]]

Also Hyundai.

 

and kia

More like "Proton bought 10/20-year-old Mitsubishi engines and chasssis and put their own badges on them". They never had MIVEC engines though, from memory, same with Hyundai and Kia.
