nothing about the b20's?

 

How about adding information about the B16B along side with the ITR, can't forget the CTR.

Nice essay, you get t3h A+.

 

You forgot the NSX...

What is this class for? I can see someone who isn't into this kind of thing failing you....

Personally, if it were for an english class, I'd give you a C because you jumped around quite a bit. But that's just me...

Pretty good though...

 

nice essay, like how you compared things

 

if your teacher does know anything about the subject you'll get a B for calling an engine a motor. LOL If i was your teacher i would ask you if you know the difference between motor and engine

Replace "motor" with "powerplant" since i know you're trying not to be redundant by using engine over and over.

 

you know that feels like i have read it before...about 3-4 years ago from a website.....

 

wasnt the b16 in the civic from 99-00? i didnt know they put them in 1998 and 2001 models also.

 

Nice, but you went back and fourth witn engine and motor. B+ for the effort.

 

the first b series vtec motor was in japan in the 80s fool

i think he was just going for the B-series engines that were introduced to the US, and we didint start getting them until the early 90's like he said

fourth gen started in 88 not 90

if I was clueless about htis subject, and I had to grade a paper like this, I wouldn't give it to high of a grade. Most people, when it comes to cars or anyhting mechanical in papers, get automatically turned off by it. I think this stuff is interesting but most people dont. You were pretty good about not getting to technical with everything. Ill give a B for good effort

 

I had to write this for my freshman comp class. I had info about the JDM B16s and the B16B but my professor told me i needed to "narrow down my focus to just the US versions." I was pissed because i had to cut out so much info.

 

for the record, Honda did not invent variable valve timing, it has been around in other engines before Honda started using the technology. I would say that Honda has had more sucess with variable valve timing than other companies.

Also i would try to find a diffrent word than "interchangeability" it just doesnt sound right.

Wrong the first Honda car to use vtec in the USA was the 1991 NSX. also your essay does not mention anything about engine displacement. motor(electric) engine (gas/diesel) unless your'e talking about a Hybrid Honda that has both.

 

make it longer, and you use the in every first word of like 5 paragraphs. chage it up a bit, what what class/grade are you in?

 

u b wrong about sum ****
but u get en e for effort

An engine is a device that converts (some fraction of) heat energy into some form of useful work. A motor is a device that generates motion. It is therefore completely proper to refer to an internal combustion engine as a motor (since it does generate motion). An electric motor, on the other hand, is not an engine. It does not convert heat to work (it converts one form of work - electricity - to another). And thermoelectric and thermionic generators are engines, but not motors. They convert heat energy into useful work in the form of electricity, but don't generate motion. In fact, these devices are completely devoid of moving parts!

Also, the B18A/B18B were NOT the first B-series motors. Just the first B-series motors in the US. The B16A came first.

 

Why didn't I get to write crap like this when i was in school...what school was this?

Another stickler point:
"VTEC, Honda’s acclaimed invention, is what sets the B-series engines apart from other production engines. "

You make it sound like VTEC is exclusive to the B-series or Honda. But it came on the NSX(C-series?) and the D-series too.
There are several variable valve technolgies available from other manufacturers:
BMW VANOS - Varies intake and exhaust timing and lift by moving the fulcrum of the camshaft
Ford Variable Cam Timing - Varies valve timing by rotating the camshaft
GM Variable Valve Timing - Varies timing (phase) with hydraulic pressure
Honda i-VTEC - Adds cam phasing (timing) to traditional VTEC
Mazda S-VT - Varies timing by rotating the camshaft
Mitsubishi MIVEC - Varies valve timing and lift
Nissan VVL - Varies intake, duration, and lift by using two different sets of cam lobes
Porsche VarioCam - Varies intake timing by adjusting tension of a cam chain
Porsche VarioCam Plus - Varies intake timing by adjusting tension of a cam chain
Rover VVC - Varies timing and lift with an eccentric disc
Subaru AVCS - Varies timing (phase) with hydraulic pressure
Toyota VVT-i - Varies intake timing by advancing the cam chain
Toyota VVTL-i - Varies timing by advancing the cam chain and switching between two sets of cam lobes

Makes you wonder why VTEC is considered so special

I'll give you a C for this paragraph.

 

i like toyotas VVTLI they use BMX and Nissan and bring forth a monster.

you gotta love them 1.8 GT-S motors producing more hp and tq then a b18c1.

 

VTEC is considered special b/c Honda was the first to successfully implement variable valve lift & timing on a mass-production engine.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Wow, what a nice essay.
