Wow...too much information...j/k :P

Actually that's pretty handy to know. I've heard about VTec being useless at lower RPM's or causing a bad idle. I guess that's fine. I talked to a performance parts shop today who installs Nitrous systems, (but not Turbos) and I asked him some advice on turbo kits. He said he wouldn't even bother turbo-ing a SOHC, because the only boost you could reliably run would be something like 6 or 7 PSI at max. Sooo..basically, the only reason I wanted to time the VTec lower was because I rarely get up to 4,800 RPMs in regular driving, and I just wanted the xtra power increase available at lower RPM's. But thanks for all the info guys, really.

So basically VTec is just a way of.....what? Timing the valves for more power at higher RPM's? I've never really understood it very well.

In the end I'll probably just get a B16 and stick it in there, and then run a turbo on it.
