any joy yet??
Nah, not really. Think about it - The variant of the 6A12 that you're on about is the DOHC MIVEC one - The SOHC, 24 valve non-mivec 6A12, used in the 7G Galant, and the JDM-Market Legnum 2.0ST only cranks out 140bhp.Originally Posted by zentac
I think the main reason behind the seemingly low power level is that the 180bhp MIVEC isn't very torquey - which is ok in the FTO, but not in the chunky Galant - so the engine is tuned for grunt rather than all-hell-breaking-loose power.
The 6a12 in 7g was non mivec but was dohc.
Oh right!Well, buy the 8G version it was definetly back to SOHC - Just checked my brochure
