whats the point in having an NA engine when it goes like a piece of crap till 6k? and even then doesnt move much faster?
v-tec's confuzzle me :S

[Clinton]

That is a bigport. Only thing is it starts moving at 4500 instead.

[WAcky]

So it's essentially just t-vis?

edit: just looked at wiki, so no...it's not

[shift_rook]

exactly, having n/a engines with more lag than a turgbo engine is just plain dumb

[Gunner]

its an efficient way of providing just enough power for city driving while providing good economy, and then enough power to have a bit of fun through the bends. How else are you going to get 500ks a tank out of a "performance" car.

[Juturna]

my car will do 350 from a 38l tank, thats running 18psi, 440cc injectors, aftermarket ecu and 256deg cams.
so its not really much more efficient.... and a hell of a lot slower.....

[Gunner]

that is a big difference imo. and works out to a fair bit of coin. Not that, that worries you, now does it. Also, standard fuel maps for these cars, above the vvt/vtec trigger point, are very crude, and can do with a lot of improvement.

i dont understnad the hate on the V-tec.

it is a very VERY good idea.

its a way of getting top end power, without losing bottom end driveability.

its the benifits of low cam duration (low end torque/power) with the benifits of high cam duration (high end torque/power)

and on a factory engine, for normal everyday people, thats what you want....?

i also think the t-vis on the bigport is a great idea as well, so simple, but so effective.

[evil86]

i think first vif is of a b16a vtec motor from the civic... dissapointing that it comes on at 6k... i've got a civic with h22a from prelude and i love the low end torque. keeps up with dc5r and s2k

[slide86]

the guy in the first vid is only using like 40% throttle just until vtec actually comes on then mashes the pedal to the floor............just to be more of a giant douche

so really the whole thing is pointless, if he actually held it flat from idle it wouldnt have been nearly as 'impressive'

[evil86]

^^ comment is true, but thats how all honda drivers drive

+1

vtec is good, have never understood why everyone bags it.

[hachi_dk]

dk's missus is hot as hahaha

lol whut??

[slide86]

its not vtec that gets bagged its the stigma that comes with it....

its mainly due to the epic amounts of total losers that drive them, there are a small breed of honda drivers that arent total fucking morons......but unfortunately, you say "vtec" and straight away people that feature in this video come to mind

i like the idea of vtec, specially because i am mechanically minded, but ill never own one simply because i dont want to be associated with said "enthusiasts"
