theres 3.0l and 3.5l v6 model engines 6g72 /6g74 that i've heard of with mivec, but i've never seen a 3.5l... a 3.0l mivec 6g72 ive seen once with a chip and air/exhaust mods (i think) and a tune makes about 240bhp at the wheel hubs. or 200-220 on a normal dyno..

though if you can find a frontcut somewhere i hear they're all auto and u gotta mess around with em a bit to fit a manual instead

There is also the new 3.8 MIVEC but I think that is not the proper MIVEC

no models actually came out here with the 3.0l mivec.. (or any mivec I know of until this year) its from a Diamante in Japan, thats about all I know... theres a post on mogwa.org from the guy that did the engine conversion, he got the engine from a japanese importer in QLD and sent it over to WA... http://www.mogwa.org/forum/phpBB2/viewt ... 44&start=0

You are talking about the GTO/3000GT?

Why do you need MIVEC? Maybe try to source the 6G74 3.5 and see if the DOHC heads from your 3 litre fit, with internals done you should make monster power, and heaps of low end power.

If you find the MIVEC 3 litre, you would still need turbo cams etc and they are quite expensive
