Default Question:Ivtec, and others

Whats the difference from I Vtec and regular Vtec? The higher the liters on vtec the better? Sohc, dohc, different vtec ? What happens when vtec engages, do you lose gas mileage?

VTEC was just a single crossover point on a cam, causing the valves to run more aggressively. It was basically on or off.

i-VTEC somehow manipulates the valves so they constantly vary timing.

Yeah, i know, ever since my little "incedent" i havent been feeling so hot on the questions, ive been on, just not posting really, im starting to fall into my "question" mood again, as with this thread. My car is under plastic surgery right now, Slight Frame Damage, that was fixed, the back window is back up, They are currently replacing the back quarter panel or whatever thats called, and my lights are fixed, so its just basicaly the panels and the door and a paint job, but it'l be all good in the end, im not to sure on what to do with the tire, when i was looking at it it looks like this "\" not that big of an angle though. Hmm, i wonder how much its gonna cost to fix that and get a alignment, because im sure its gonna need one.
Ill be in and out till my baby comes back to me....until then....
