Are you serious or are you just trying to be funny?

 

here's a good link for you...http://www.howstuffworks.com/question229.htm
its this whole speech about what vtec is, and how it works...it should answer any questions you've got....good luck...

 

no ... im serious. I'd like to hear what everyone thinks v-tec is.

 

nothing special just VTEC hehe

its something we enjoy let say

 

I have absolutely no idea what V-tec is.

now VTEC on the other hand....

 

VTEC = Variable Valve Timing and Electronic Lift Control

v-tec = term spoken in the native tongue of the n00b

 

vtec (not v-tec, where have you ever seen it written like that on a honda?) simply acts like an instantly more aggressive cam. between the 2 cam lobes for the cylinder, there is a more aggressive lobe that just smacks a rocker arm thats not connected to anything. but when 12 volts hits the vtec solenoid, its opens up oil pressure to the rocker arm assembly, and little pegs push out and connect the 3 rockers into a single item, which then run off of the vtec-spec lobe, opening up airflow a lot more. that is how vtec works

 

on the airbox label

 

and its variable valve timing and lift electronic control

 

 

smote you to it!

 

OH MY GOD!!! You sound like a v-technician ... hahahaha j/k

 

maybe it's a misprint by the American Gasoline Institute..

 

LOL, thats funny. There must be a redneck on the assembly line, that makes those stickers, I bet they probably put "Vortec" on there first and had to redo it.

 

well ill be a monkeys *** with lice all over it...

 

its not my fault that HONDAS WRONG!!!!!

 

I just thought of why nobodys ever seen that before. I remember the only time I ever saw my stock airbox was flying through the air on the way to the trash can.

aint dat be da trufe!

 

i thought vtec always adds 250 ft/fbs? and yellow stickers help, too.

 

that's a lot of torque

 

ya and altezza tail lights add 5-10 whp as well

 

I said you couldn't barrow my dyno slip!

 

i guess 3200 rpm is where the yellow stickers and altezza taillights kick in
