Default Does anyone know why Ferrea Roller Rockers cancel Vtec

Honda Rocker

This special Aluminum-Magnesium Roller Rocker System was designed and developed by Ferrea to replace the factory steel rocker arm setup and eliminate VTEC function. Factors such as weight, mass moment of inertia, deflection, and cycle-durability were taken into account throughout the design and testing process. The new RR1002 Single roller bearing weighs only 143 grams, which is 110 percent less than the OEM unit. These new rollers rockers can only be used with Ferrea camshafts, which eliminate the two side lobes of the camshafts to one single lobe of the camshaft. Applications for Honda/Acura include B17A1, B18C1-C3, B16A1, B16A3 and H22A1-A4, but check ferrea.com for an updated application list.

Why not leave the vtec if its so widely praised???

It's for race cars that don't need the low cam, it weighs less etc.

Wrong forum.
