every engine will hav probs if u dun maintain it well....
wear n tear will confirm happen as u r using it....
now u highlighted mivec not engaging...
to me...its just a prob dat u hav to solve...
just like misfiring, engine jerking, idling not chun, bla bla bla....
ask everyone here....who;s engine is problem free???
once u get the problem solved, u gain knowledge....
n u'll b able to discuss/guide other ppl in the future....
last time my 4g92 dohc uses castrol magnetec every 8000kms....
convert turbo still uses castrol magnetec...but every 5000kms....
fuel consumption got not much difference for normal drive....
but of course for spirited driving sure turbo drinks more fuel....
perhaps turbo will have more room for error or more wear n tear parts...
as u hav an additional turbo kit as compared to n/a engine....
as for mivec halfcut price....
the price is crazy now....
its almost the same as GSR halfcut....
n for ur information, ur 1.6 front n rear brake system (if urs is a original 1.6 chassis) is the same as mivec/gsr ones....
u sure gsr n 1.6 brake disc is same? i tot the disc sligthy thicker den 1.6
as a satria mivec owner, i think u jz BOT ur 92. jz use td04 is enuf to have fun.
if u hv mivec head, u no nd to change wiring, jz use shift indicator lamp, vafc, emanage..etc u can activate ur mivec.
