FTO AUSTRALIA

Hi Guys,

Further to my previous comments, i have layed down a deposit on an FTO GPX. Its currently being complianced and i hope to get it by the 13th of January.

My little brother is a big honda fan and he had a brand new Fields SFC-VTEC YO!!!!! Mivec Controller lying around. I have read many threads and i am not after power gains, but rather, something that removes the speed limiter. It also has the added function of being a fuel controller.

Do you guys think its worthwhile installing it?

Below is a little bit more information on the device:

Thanks

By the way, i wouldn't be fiddling around with the factory mivec settings. Just using the other functions of the unit.

If he is giving it to you, and just for the fact that it will get rid of the speed cut.. Then I say do it ...

Do you intend on doing over 180k's? From threads here, simply, don't know what your doing, leave it off. Getting it Dyno tuned not a problem...

I live about 5 minutes from Eastern Creek raceway and WSID, and i do intend to take it out for track days. Maybe not right now, but sometime later this year.

I wouldn't be installing anything myself either. I definitely want to get it done professionally.

I got my hands on one of these, and they look like a great little unit.
Havent installed it, because Im selling my FTO, but otherwise I reckong its useful just for cancelling the speed limiter, and its SFC functions alone.

Theres a better description of it on the field site here :

If hes going to use it for track days, why is it so bad to change the MIVEC point ?

Mitsubishi already got the cam changeover point spot on, any change will lose power, unless you have after market cams (do they even exist?).

If you gonna be racing it, why not try get some more power out of it? Go get yourself a Greddy Emanage or similar - you can pick 'em up on Ebay for $350 or less, get tuned up & potentially pickup another 10kws. Mivec controllers are esentially just bling.
