Mivec heads on non mivec block
So i have an fto gr, and i got an offer on some mivec heads.
I was wondering if it was possible and or practical to replace my current heads with the mivec ones? I will also have the correct ecu aswell

Won't work without MIVEC loom, alternator and the additional sensors only found on the MIVEC.
Me? Bitter? f**k no. I think it's hilarious.

It should all just come on a Mivec loom.
MAP sensor instead of MAF, too.

I just finished the conversion from GR to GPX, It may not make a difference in speed but it sounds so much better than the old engine and runs better. Just make sure you have the right ECU as well e.g. need a manual mivec ECU and manual wiring loom etc. if your going to go for the engine swap. Otherwise it's 1 step forward and 2 steps back

I believe the intake manifold is the same, just the Y splitter part that joins the heads to the intake manifold is different due to the height difference in the headsVectose wrote:Intake manifold is different as well

Nope, they're different. MIVEC ones have an output on back for MAP sensor as well as a port for IAT sensor.

I would've thought that there would've just been a blanking plate, like the EGR blanking plates on other Mitsubishis
