all honda's are vtec. so are some toyotas

 

He runs the spare to give him that "lean" he is looking for...

 

hey ryball...did you slowdown your avatar or is it just my comp being lame and playing it slower...

either way it's sexier!

 

I couldn't find my old one, so I made another. It is definitley slower. I like it better.

 

all hondas are def not vtec

and the ski rack has lifts on them

 

Um no.

I'm pretty sure these hondas aren't VTEC.







Also more realistically, aside from the 1990 NSX and some Integras, I don't think there were any VTEC Hondas before about 1995 or '96 in the US.

As far as Toyotas w/ VTEC... VTEC is a registered trademark of Honda, I'm pretty sure they don't let Toyota use it. Toyota calls their variable valve timing VVT-i (Variable Valve Timine with Intellegence), and while it's similar technology, it's technically not VTEC.

Besides, if you want to get into VTEC w/ other names, there's also AVCS (Subaru) VANOS (BMW), VarioCam (Porsche), MIVEC (Mistubishi), VVL (Nissan), and I'm sure a bunch more, but I don't know the names used by the domestics.

 

civic dx hx are not vtec

 

I stopped listening after I saw the picture of the ATV. lalalallalalalallaa....

 

ah, but VVT-i and AVCS (and perhaps the others) don't have variable valve timing and lift.

Thats what makes VTEC so fast (it's almost like a turbo).

 

But the EX is? Is the EX to top of the line Civic?

<-- Doesn't know his Civics.

 

I thought you did.

 

grrr... I hate that "like a turbo" reference. It's *nothing* like a turbo... a turbo compresses the intake charge, VTEC (and the rest) allow the engine to use a different cam profile for better airflow. VTEC (and its variants) *do not* increase the amount of A/F burned in the cylinder, they just make the flow better.

So, while VTEC does make the motor more powerful, it is *not* "like a turbo".

 

Ouch... that stings.

 

haha owned

 

It's Friday... I can't listen to your motorized technobabble. It frightens me. I am but a lowly caveman lawyer. I know not of your mechanical beasts.
