    3.8 Liter Engine Question

    I have seen several picture of the 3.8 liter V6 that say MIVEC in the engine cover. Mine does not say that, but the window sticker says 3.8L SOHC W/MPI Fuel Inject MIVEC. Is there is a optional cover for the engine or mine not a MIVEC. 2006 LS

    Is this from a dealership?

    New or used?

    When did you purchase the vehicle?

    I got it 6 weeks ago from my father-in-law. He bought it brand new from a dealer.

    MIVEC 6G75's will have "MIVEC" engraved into the valve cover. Eclipse and Galant Ralliarts have the MIVEC 6G75's. The regular 6G75's in the Galants, Eclipse, and Endeavors do not have MIVEC.

    Its possible that is a misprint on the dealer price tag. Sometimes during the VIN information input some information isn't correct. I have seen it...even when I worked for Toyota it has happened.

    yes. you have a non-mivec heads and that label is wrong. yours is just 230hp. only ralliarts has ~260hp mivec heads in a galant.

    Thanks for the info guys I just find it weird that the factory Window sticker is not correct.


    Is the MIVEC a dual overhead cam or a Single?

    Does anyone know where to source DOHC MIVEC heads that will fit the 3.8?
    -Well that never happened in the simulations.

    so since the engine is not a MIVEC, did you father get over-charged when he bought that car?

    The 06 and newer Eclipse only come with the Mivec both in 4cyl and V-6. They never put the non Mivec V-6 in...Just saying
