v-tec

the mute 1 has it pretty much nailed except for a few things. first they dont always kick in at 5000rpms. in fact there are 2 stages of vtec. the first stage in very low rpms (depending on the engine(the d16y8 starts at 2800)) where it switches from only using one of the intake valves per cylender to using both. the second stage is what he talked about (plus the valves open wider) but depends on the engine to when the cylenoid adjusts the cam timing and postition. (the d16z6 starts at 5600). Also it is much less expensive to use the head and cylenoid of a vtec engine on a non-vtec block, such as the d16y7 (or the b16a1 for you dohc fans out there). they often call a swap with a d16y7 block and a d16z6 head a mini-me swap. Ecu tuning can lower the 2nd stage kick-in time.

Honda produced engines with v-tec technology to combine power and efficiency.

v-tec

The VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) engine produced by Honda. Popular among those who modify and race Japanese cars.

Also, a car fitted with such an engine.

Billy was sure that his VTEC could beat a Volkswagen with a VR6 engine.

V-tec bro

V-tec bro (n). A slang word describing a male group within the American Armenian community, having just arrived from Iran, trying to assimilate but not quite making it, displaying semi-queer behavior such as:
-plucking their eyebrows ( to the point "Prince" would be jealous)
-highlighting their hair (a fashion Asians went through, mind you in the 90's)
- driving old Honda Civics "fixed-up"
- excessively using the phrase "its V-tec bro"
- weighing 110, at 5' 2" (very squeemish looking)
- having their girlfriend's show up at their fights
- not leaving their mom's house until age 35
- speaking what they call "English", that really just sounds like a drawn out song in Persian
- keeping a go-T
- getting waxed on a regular basis, more than their girlfriends (their backs, legs, eyebrows, etc)

V-tec bro is a typical parsakhye guy racing on the street of Glendale, CA.

"He is such a V-tec bro."

v-tec just kicked in yo

A popular phrase on 4chan. The phrase was supposedly invented because the v-tec engine 'kicks in' at a certain speed. Mainly used in reference to cars, but some people have said it for no reason at all on 4chan.

I dare you to say "v-tec just kicked in yo" outside of 4chan. Even better, say it in meatspace!
