Even though it's a very good way to get power from smaller engines, I'd much rather stick to a fixed cam. Less complicated, and more reliable!! (in reply to prtuner88) Post #: 35

VVT-i cylinder head technology ownz VTEC in almost any test you can throw at it. Toyota, while they have similar goals, had a different approach to making power. It doesn't make as much peak power, but it generates a lot more useable torque and HP across the entire rev range. Plus it's more intelligent; yes, Toyota's and Lexus's VVT-i engines have brains! http://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_273856/tm.htm ^^Check my thread out for more info. Have fun hitting VTEC and watching all of your oil go into the solenoids and your gas mileage deteriorate. You ricers with lead foots could benefit from VVT-i, because the clever control program (ECU) actually senses the acceleration at WOT, and adjusts the timing accordingly. Everyone always says, "I love the pull when I hit VTEC!!!!111". Okay, how about before it kicks in when your cam tuned for "economy" is used? Bahaha. It's silly that VTEC is most widely known for their efforts, yet I believe Porsches Variocam Plus has lift which "kicks in" in 1/4 the time. (in reply to hondaracer05) Post #: 38

Seriously, go outside and play. The guy who posted about VVTi being a rip-off is a tool and no longer a member. Don't judge our forum because of one idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. _____________________________ Don''''t PM me with tech questions Antartic Blue Super Sports wagon with C.B. and optional Rally Fun Pack (in reply to VVTIFTW) Post #: 39
