v-tec

variable valve timing used on hondas also has a large following where most owners(not all) are a bunch of cocky losers.

eric was sure surprised when the mk4 r32 blew past him like it was racing a snail dispite his car hiting v-tec with all it's might he lost the race miserably.

v-tec

A performance engine designed to combine fuel efficiency and power. V-TEC stands for Variable Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control. Designed by Honda, it was the first engine to incorporate these features. Under 5k rpm it operates like a normal Honda engine. Over 5k rpm the computer varies the valve timing and the camshaft height to keep the engine at peak power. If driven hard it guzzles gas like any other performance engine. If driven like a grandma it boasts the usual excellent Honda fuel efficiency. It was simply designed to provide power on demand. Anyone who puts this into their car is wasting money since the modifications necessary to turn any Honda into a V-TEC are cheaper than the engine swap.

Honda kicks ass, no one else did a vvt engine for like five years.

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.
