Oouch... that suck. But hey, u gonna get a new bumper

Thanks for the insightful post Mr Einstein. I never knew the Campro have variable valve timing and lift electronic control like the Mivec.

Please do not confuse the forummers here with your baseless post.

You are so amusing. We are talking about the MIVEC mechanism here which is totally different from the plain vanilla Campro DOHC engine. The high cam of the Mivec engine will be engaged at a higher rpm, whereas the campro's peak torque will be achieved at 4k rpm, thus the power surge. And i don't need to ask people around regarding Campro engine. I personally driven it before.

Way to go Einstein. Who's blur now

The switch point for 4G92 DOHC Mivec occurs at approximately 5500 rpm, when the powertrain control module opens the valves longer to increase the amount of intake airflow, resulting in higher engine power.

Then the 4G92 Mivec will certainly caters to your need, Azuma

Dude, we all knew it already. It's the CPS - Camshaft Profile Switching. Not forgetting the VIM too.


Anymore gems of knowledge?

Of course you can

Get dirtied fast = good filtering capability.

K&N filter can last as long as the vehicle itself.

Washed once after 9 months of usage.

Kazami, u're using K&N now? Where's ur previous filter?

That FC is crazy. $60 for me can go at least 400km. Are you driving a 1.5 auto? If so, then i can't say much.

Check the ISC gear first.

not sure which one. Ask ur mechanic. HE should know the gears inside the tb.

Very similar to mine too

mine's mmc

There's no such thing as tuning our stock ecu. As Nicotine have mentioned, the pdt diagnostic device is only for monitoring purpose, it does not 'tune' our ecu.

Well, the word tuning is a very subjective term my friend. The pdt is just a monitoring device, whether it has the ability to reset the ecu to factory setting or not, i'm not sure. Take the 1.3GLi (without rpm gauge) for example; if the idling is too high/low, the mechanic will adjust accordingly until the engine reaches a healthy idling speed by checking the pdt. Or if the 'check engine' light is on, they will use the pdt to diagnose the engine fault such as sensor failure, etc...

But I don't think so the pdt is able to tune the stock ecu.

See, your post said it all. Setting the distributor, carburetor air-fuel ratio, or even a simple job like adjusting the idling adjuster screw can be considered as "engine tune up"

Nice ride you got there. Is it a 1.6XLi?

Even a NA 4G93 DOHC is already a kick ass powerplant
