DSM 4G63 output vs EVO8 engine? Which is better?

[DBR01]

That is so not true. MIVEC stands for Mitsubishi's Intelligent Valve timing Electronically Controlled. Its in use in the 4G69 that is in the Outlander, Lancer Ralliart, and Galant 4cyl. It works similar to everybody elses VVT, VTEC, etc and so on.

While it could be used to improve fuel mileage, it is not a displacement on demand system. I don't deny that it helps more mundane cars like the Galant get better mileage (30mpg on the highway) yet it is bigger, heavier and more powerful (160>140) then the car it replaced. It might also be used to help a car like then Evo maintain its midrange punch (and perhaps supplement its top end) but have a more emissions friendly and gass miserly tune at idle and low RPMs.

okay....you got me....I was mistaken and gracefully withdraw ....yeh it seems that Mitsu copied Vtec.....here's the write-up

Ahh, well MIVEC is pretty old. I think it came out right around the same time VTEC did or a year later at the most. The 1.6L 4G93? I think was rated as high as 175hp, so it could hold its own against any B16A,B whatever. Today's MIVEC is a little more tame because they shifted development away from it in favor of GDI. GDI doesn't do so hot in this country because of our gas, so now MIVEC is back in the forefront.
