Birthplace of Mivec Turbo was in Kepong?

[InitialD]

The following statement came from this website:
SEAN-THE-MAN.blogspot.com: 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer - Specifications-only Review and Launch Videos

"In my opinion, the answer lies in a small tuning workshop in the heart of Kepong, Malaysia - called Forge Racing (formerly KCK Racing). It is the birthplace of the first street legal Mivec turbo engine... ever. In 2000, several years before Mitsubishi rolled out its first Mivec turbo in the Evo VIII - Forge Racing crossbred the block of a 1.8 litre 4G93 turbo and the cylinder head of a 1.6 litre 4G92 Mivec. That resulting 1.8 engine output over 300hp at 8000rpm with a boost of only 1.5bar. But what was the main lesson learnt from that little pocket rocket?"

Is this a true fact? If it is.. then wow! Malaysia BOLEH!!

 

[infernaL]

no one mivec turbo before year 2000 ?

 

[MDQ]

yeah but does it say how robust the set up was or how many problems the car had? how many returns to the workshop?

dont be too quick to celebrate for malaysia boleh, there is alot in the background u need to know

 

[harpoon]

off course there will be problem especially when we don't even have an engine factory or rnd centre, so we make do with whatever available to come up with something innovative

don't be too hard to our fellow malaysian, actually malaysia really boleh....

hmm... ah kuen ah? heh heh heh

 

[fstr]

[netmatrix]

Only 1.5 Bar of boost? Most cars with stock turbo off the factory doesn't even touch 1 Bar. How can it be only...1.5 Bar?!?!?

Doesnt really matter whos the first to thought of this concept Mivec Turbo..
Most important is it can pull some serious horsepower and have good handling at the same time..
Mivec turbo is a good combinations..
Vtec turbo is not ideal as compared...

i dont get it why you said mivec turbo is a good combination, while vtec turbo is not ideal to be compared?

both are variable valve technology with turbo charger as forced induction.

yeah, the tong sui is nice there. some of the snacks are nice too. the small deep fried crab thing is nice too. and on weekends, got chicks to see too hahaha Anyway, speaking of jap laughing at this mivec turbo thing that started in kepong, maybe many many years ago, the japs already started using mivec turbo to power the conveyor belts at sushi places. hahaha Imagine you see the dish you wanted just passed you and has one big round to go, you press the "turbo" button at your table. Then you can hear "pppprraaaa.... pppiiissshhh" and your dish is right in front of you again. hahaa
