Ok, perhaps I need some help understanding the "vtec ".. *flame suit on*
A kid that sold me my GSR in Cerritos Acura "vtec is naaauuuuuuiiiiicccccceeee"
numereous riceboys "I hit vtec and it was all over" or "once I hit vtec I reeled them back in and put a lengh on them"
misinformed riceboys tuner "vtec isn't good for turbo"
VTEC ain't shit !
vtec is the manufacturer/engineers way of giving you good gas mileage down low and moving the torque/hp curve up higher during higher rpm driving/racing.
1. vtec is not the miracle cure
Yes it helps move the hp/tq curve up to higher rpm levels but your not gaining that much.. examine the dyno chart!
2. vtec won't give you so much hp that you reel in a torque producing Mustang GT and pass him if he's already powering away from you.
translation: it's not a 50 shot of juice, turbo or supercharger
3. vtec is good for a turbo, again see dyno chart, specifically at vtec crossover (ONLY TIME you will really see vtec do anything)
you'll notice hp increase dramatically at crossover w/ FI
Anyone who uses vtec in thier story looses points IMHO.
4. IF ONE more person confuses a 4500 vtec crossover for the 6k rpm IAB opeing... I think I'll puke!!!!
vtec is barely audible for those of you without it and for those with it as well, that sound you hear is the secondaries opeing up to allow more/faster moving air in to give you more hp.
The only mod I ever did that allowed me to hang with the big boys was a 75shot nitrous kit and now the turbo... at no time in any race have i mentioned vtec, referred to it or touted it as the miracle "honda" cure.
I guess those pushrod V-8's are inferior becuase they produce more hp and torque without any damn vtec?
Hello McFly?? Is anyone home??
vtec
