If you are thinking of a 4G63T then the intake is on the rear facing side of the engine as installed in your car. The new 2.4L MIVEC 4G69 is designed to use an F5M4x series transmission, and hence the intakes are on the OTHER side of the engine.

The F5M4x series has done away with the secondary shaft inside the transmission (saves manufacturing costs), and of course the engine still rotates clockwise as before. Hence the 180 degrees rotation, and hence switching intake and exhaust sides. You also CANNOT put a 4G63 head on a

4G69, and even if you could, you lose the MIVEC stuff.

In other words, you can't stick a MIVEC into a car unless you are prepared to use the associated transmission, and its M A J O R surgery to switch the orientation of an engine in your car.

Mivec's can have turbo's added but more popular is the 1.8L turbo GSR motor with a MIVEC Head, as the head matches the block without any work. Cambelts etc need to be changed etc as the MIVEC head is taller than the GSR, and the GSR block is taller than the MIVEC.

MIVEC's came out in 1992 and continued till 1998, so they can be found in both original or 180 degree rotations.

for moreinformation as some of the members have MIVEC turbos (Both are free tojoin).

Also new MIVEC engines are not performance engines, they switch at 3500rpm for economy.
