Genie47 1st Gear December 22, 2004 Share December 22, 2004 MI-Tech engines are Millennium Technology engines. They are technology inherited from Mazda. US Kia Spectra (Mentor) owners have been known to swap out these useless engines for powerful 323 GT turbocharged monsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeper83 Neutral Newbie December 22, 2004 Author Share December 22, 2004 so...these engines are not good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear December 22, 2004 Share December 22, 2004 The technology is old but not necessarily bad. For point A to point B motoring, adequate but they are tuned to be rich so as to protect the engine's life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear December 22, 2004 Share December 22, 2004 Most Korean cars are. Now that Kia is under Hyundai. Expect better things but the Rio uses the older MiTech engine. Nothing can help you. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
