GPX/GR

Post by dstocks »

Only the GPX/GPvR has variable Cam Timing. You can feel the cam kick in at about 5000RPM on the GPX. The GR wont do that.

I havent had a close look at a GR so wouldnt be able to tell you the difference visually. I know the mivec cover is one difference, but if was put on a GR, I couldnt tell you.

The oil filler cap is on the left of a mivec engine and on the right of the low powered :lol: gr.
Also the red line is at 8000 rpm on the gpx and less (7500 iirc) on the gr.The gr will also have a maf sensor after the airbox,the gpx doesn't.....it has a map sensor bolted to the engine bay bulkhead

Gpxs have bigger brakes too,although i don't think you'd notice that unless they were side by side

hth :)

You can get the GR's to go hard... dont worry about that! :D

But yeah, biggest noticeable difference is in the engine bay:

Mivec engine - note oil filler is on left

Non Mivec - oil cap on right - no pretty plastic cover over the head
