What does "MIVEC" mean?

Question

2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS

Answer 1

MIVEC ((((((((((((((((((Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system))))))))))))))))) is the brand name of a variable valve timing engine technology developed by Mitsubishi Motors. MIVEC, as with other similar systems, varies the lift of the valves by using two different camshaft profiles. At low speeds, a mild (low-lift) cam lobe provides "normal" performance, while above a fixed engine speed a second set of cam lobes are activated, providing higher lift and duration; therefore a greater quantity of air into the combustion chamber which increases the power output.

MIVEC was first introduced in 1992 in their 4G92 powerplant, a 1,597 cc naturally aspirated DOHC 16 valve straight-4.[2] The first cars to use this were the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback and the Mitsubishi Lancer sedan. While the conventional 4G92 engine provided 145 PS at 7000 rpm,[3] the MIVEC-equipped engine could achieve 175 PS at 7500 rpm.[4] Similar improvements were seen when the technology was applied to the 1994 Mitsubishi FTO, whose top-spec GPX variant had a 6A12 1997 cc DOHC 24 valve V6 with peak power of 200 PS at 7500 rpm.[5] The GR model, whose otherwise identical powerplant was not MIVEC-equipped, produced 170 PS at 7000 rpm by comparison.[6]

Although initially design to enhance performance, the system has subsequently been developed to improve economy and emissions, and has been introduced across Mitsubishi's range of vehicles, from the Mitsubishi i kei car to their high-performance Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution sedan.
