I know the 9 had variable cam (& ignition?) timing with MIVEC, I believe they both used a "Big 16G", twin scroll turbo, The 9 just used a slightly larger hot side so it would run a little cooler when pushing high boost levels. (I only know this because I bought a 10.5 hot side turbine for my 2003)...
I knew the 9 had more TQ & HP, but from all the numbers, stats, and " life experience", while the 6 speed is faster around a circuit track, it is slightly slower down the 1/4 due to an extra shift being required. I didn't even know they made a 5 speed after the 8, I guess you learn something new everyday...
You know I never even heard of the SE, lmao...I had two friends with 9 MR's and I thought the "base" EVO 9 was just called the base model. Thanks for the info...
But throw the pics up if u find em bro.
