Does anyone know why the vtec engine has 3 cam profiles? 2 are the same, why do they need 2 of the same ones? I'm guessing becuz sometimes, only 1 intake valve is open, but does anyone know when both valves are open while the high cam profile is not in use? this animation showed both valves opening at :01 but only one at :10 .
Lol.... V-tec's bad ass if your on a budget, or can't afford to have a street car and a track car or the extra consumption of fuel of a v6-8 as a daily driver.
@DigBickDandit Because in 1994, the CEO of V-Tech, Horatio Ramirez, saw the true value in VTECH engines and wanted consumers to see the real value in V-Tech toys. Don't hate bc you still play with them. Oh, my 250hp all motor CRX will roast you.
When VTEC kicks in, its game over whatever you has; Rustang, Corjunkvette, Trans Cram, Queerbird, Camarrow, etc. The power to weight ratio of a properly tuned CRX is better than a Power Wheels with drag radials and a F1 engine swap.
@1000hpHONDA Aww... Have fun with your toys, and keep believing you can beat those. Stock CRX vs any of those, CRX gets laughed at. Tune the CRX, and DON'T tune the others, maybe the CRX will have a chance. Tune both, and the CRX is still shit.
@DigBickDandit You have no idea what you just started, and neither does your car whatever you have. My 250hp all motor CRX will roast whatever you bring. Street, time, and date and we'll settle this.
@1000hpHONDA Alright, I tell you what. If you're anywhere near the ft worth area of texas, I'll race you. But after you win, you have to follow me, doing what my car was made for. I guarantee your cute little CRX can't take mud or hills like my jeep. Yeah, you'll beat me in a race. But I don't need speed when I can use your little matchbox as a flex ramp.
I drive an 07 Si Coupe, I love it, can't beat it for the money. However! I love the Vtec/Honda jokes! Some of the comments in these videos get me on the floor laughing. VTEC engaged in proper fashion yo! That's great stuff! I think Si's are the shit but still find this stuff hilarious.
ok i have vtech in my v6 accord...but i',m trying to figure out when does it actualy work ... i mean the car is fast but i still cant tell when does it kick in
If people don't like vtec and have nothing to do but bitch about it why are you watching the video. I don't like ricers either but god damn get a life and take your bitching some place else
so vtec is a viarable cam... why not put in a longer cam duration...oh i get it restrict the car for economy at low rpm and then boost it for acceleration... its like saying look i have walking shoes on look how effecient i am... the vetc engages... oh i put my running shoes on now look how efficient i am at running... thus vtec is only for gas efficiency not overall power through speed.
@CJAEY 1: It sounds fucking awesome when you hit vtec. 2: You can just cruise and not use heaps of fuel. 3: When you boot it and reach the certain amount of revs you can get more power out of the engine.
It does serve a purpose and a good one at that, you're a fool for thinking that there is nothing special about it.
@lukebailey457 I got a fix for ya! 1: It sounds fucking awesome when the turbo starts boosting. 2: You can just cruise and not use heaps of fuel. 3: When you boot it you can get more power out of the engine without having to rev like crazy. ;)
@fatqwert200 How could it not be about power, it opens the valves which allows more fuel/air in the cylinder, therefore giving the engine more power. It is for both fuel efficiency and power.
@lukebailey457 vtec doest give the engine extra power. if the engine is made so that it has 200 hp@6000rpm, adding vtec dosnt increase hp. if the engine produces 100 hp at 2000 rpm and 200 at 6000rpm vtec is there so that it allows the engine to opperate at 5000 rpm and produce 200 hp instead of at 6000 rpm. if max shifting is at 5000 rpm you would miss the oprotunity to make 200hp. so vtec overall changes the rpm band so that the engine can produce its max hp at a lower rpm.
@lukebailey457 but in reality get a stroker motor... longer connecting rods produce a lower hp band. my type 1 vw beetle produces 50 hp at 4500 rpm but if i get longer connecting rods i would get 50 hp at 3500 rpm. less time to rev= faster car ;assuming hp band derivative stays the same
@LPWWE06 Hmm, so tell me how does it add more HP?? The point of the system is to provide good acceleration and fuel economy at the same time, as far as i know it has nothing to do with HP, but i might be wrong.
@kinglynx pretty much im not sure about how noticable the kick is with the modern civic si's because they probably made it a smoother transition for driver comfort but yah you get that high rpm power man. i would get a honda but in my town too many people build them so i went for a miata im a non conformist
@tyxium idk how much horse a vtec runs but i do know a subaru has 265 at the wheels with only 6 psi and non turboed it gets 222. and at a full bar they get 300+.
@TheDM75 Im sooooooo happy you like it!!!!! i dont even own a subie haha i was just playing. i havent seen a v-tec vs. a subaru sti but it wud be a close one in a straight line. but on a road course awd and rwd just gets faster lap times.
Ok so whenever I beat some kid with a civic and he tells me he lost by a mile because his VTEC didnt kick in this is what he is talking about? I always thought it was some sort of a turbo boost but its just a glorified air intake forcing more volume into the manifold. Learn something new everyday.
@boosted05stang lol, I don't know how on earth vtec wouldn't kick in. Bad ECU if that was ever the case but he was clearly lying. vtec is only to save fuel at low rpms when they think you don't need the power. It does give better gas mileage so that is the only reason it is used by other manufacturers as well. Similar to what GM did with turning off cylinders for fuel economy but not as extreme.
I'm not much of a Honda guy but a friend of mine said you can change the Vtech to much lower rpm, but from what I got from this video that might take some power away...
sick of people coming in with all the turbo-drag-machine-killer info, saying how far they can beat every models of Honda or just about anything that runs. K20A = a typical size, buff, domestic cat who lost a running race to a big ass lion who later comes in and starts making fun of how he could outrun any damn cat on earth.
i asked my tecnology teacher in school how VTEC works ( i already knew i just asked him because he thinks he knows everythin) so i asked him how it works and he said ''ah i dont know now'' then the other tecnology teacher walked into the room and my tec teacher said to me ''ask Mr carr he might know'' and i asked him and he didnt know either so i told them how it worked and they both said ''sure if that happened you wouldnt have a engine left '' .idiot teachers they havent a clue
@ilovtuners lmfao do you go to mount carmel college or woodville high school? those teachers sound familiar btw vtec engines r shit, it is only activated at a certain rpm with an on and off basis, similar technology by toyota called vvti and dual vvti constantly adjusts the cams according to rpm CONSTANTLY, so it is more efficient then an on and off system like the vtec. a built 3.4 2jz with vvti would shit over any honda engine and over almost every other engine out there. look up titan supras
@InitialDirt na scoil dara in ireland ,ye but a 2jz is alot of money and the power that VTEC can make is fairly decent now for like a 1.5 sohc vtec all the way up to a 3.0 VTEC
can anyone tell me if vtec is still activated if you hit 4500rpm without flooring it? e.g say turbo kicks in at 3000rpm....if you gently ease into 3000rpm...turbo will not kick in...is it like that in vtec? or does vtec kick in regardless how hard you step on it?
@Jedras992 or 47 real men saw this video.. wow im so impressed that hondas need all this stuff just to make an engine have 90hp , you can get a 5L v8 that has 5x the torque and power then ur honda , my 6.6L duramax makes 800ftlbs of torque my lugnuts require 100ft lbs each, that means ur honda doesnt even make enough torque to tighten my lugnuts
@duramaxjad4 But Hondas engine have only 1,5 liter capacity and they reach 8,000RPM or more. U are from U.S.A and in your country Dodge Viper from 8.3 V10 produces embarrassing 600HP, and i'm convinced that engine dont reach 8.000RPM. In Europe 600HP have mower. For example: Mercedes SLR 5.4l, V8 have 680 HP. But i like yours americam muscle cars like Dode Challenger or Charger. If my saying have some errors, i'm sorry. :)
@Jedras992 thers one thing your cars dont have, and thats torque, foreign cars lack torque, and it may have a few more hp but i dont think that 50hp is worth $100,000 diffrence, i can turbo my car and cam it and make 2x the power you have for about $2,000
@duramaxjad4 Maybe you have a right, but american and european cars have another specification. In nature must be balance. Yours cars are fast on the straight, ours cars are good in corners. :)
@duramaxjad4 youre the biggest hater. i saw you like comment on 3 different honda videos. talking about your duramax. lol i guess its true. haters spend more time thinking about you then worrying about themselves xD. im a car enthusiast so suck it.
@Jedras992 the dodge viper engine COULD get more than 600 hp, but it's designed for power at all RPM's. not for a high, short peak power. that's why it's the fastest car to ever go around leguna seca
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
... alright I'll set the records straight... Honda sucks.. they suck as a company, a corporation and every single Honda/Acura that has been built sucks and all that havent even been made yet suck.. there... done... it's been said... now everyone plz stfu...
This is all bollocks, GM invented VTEC back in '54 and Honda STOLE the technology after the patent expired, even then it still took them a decade to make it work in a commercial vehicle. Honda didn't invent shit!
i dont drive a honda civic with a fart cannon =) i keep my cars simple. yeah but fwd at its current state or a little modified will still take the corners on some of the rwds. Besides i was only letting people know they hondas can produce power ;) all motor and force interduction.
you guys are all retarded. checkout Bisimoto's f22a 9 second HONDA ENGINE. as a matter of fact check out all of his cars. 700whp civic wagon, 435whp 9sec f22, 12 sec d15 crx full body, 10sec d15 unibody crx and his new 534 honda cr-z. then try and talk more shit. ;). By the way i would love to see any of your domestics try and keep up with a nsx(c32) and the f20 s2000 on the circuits. so stfu about how much hps you make with your domestics on the straight way.
@petervsays I should also mention that you're providing an example of an engine that has been heavily modified. I have no issue with Honda, or Civics at all, but when you're using examples of heavily modified cars with ridiculous amounts of power that are virtually undriveable, you might as well compare it against equally modified cars.
@Shrewmy ok lets take the f20c for example. winning best motor built because it produces the most power per cc. these little motors arent definitely built for drag unless you got the time and money, but its the most reliable motors. the great things about these motors is that A LOT OF THE PARTS are interchangeable amongst each other.
@MrMister1227 You can but it wouldn't run smoothly or be economical below the VTEC point. VTEC is like having 2 engines in 1 - an economical high-torque engine in low-rpms, and a racing engine in high-rpms
@AccordGTR i dont understand why people preach this vtec stuff, if you think for a second you may realise vtec is designed for even better fuel economy, and it is far from a racing engine hahaha
@hb22man Uh, 185hp output from just 1.6 litters (B16B) or 125hp per liter (F20B) STOCK was only accomplished in racing engines before VTEC came around. VTEC engines still put out the highest HP per liter rating of any engine today. My Civic SIR race car with blue-printed engine puts out 178whp from 1.6L VTEC with all-stock internals yet retains all its driveability in idle and low-rpms. Thats the beauty of VTEC
@AccordGTR i can see how it would be nice to have driveability like that, but a stock vtec is still miles away from being a race motor. 185 horse is good considering the weight of the car. how reliable is it with stock internals? im a chevy guy i like my v8s, considered going honda before but just gotta love the sound of a cammed v8.
@hb22man I had a 67 Camaro 327 that I modified myself in high school so I know Chevy's very well but they have no where near the handling of a 1000 kg Honda Civic race car with Tein N1 suspension. With my modified 175whp Type R EK9, I beat a heavily modified 300whp Evo7 and a 993 GT2 (450hp Porsche) in our local circuit in track attack competition. Our Honda race cars with stock engines would run 4-hours straight in Enduro racing here in the Philippines where track temps reach over 110F
Doesn't pretty much every engine these days have variable valve timing now?

honda made vtec because if you just wanna cruise you can but if you need the power stomp on it. its doesnt take that long for a car to hit 4500 rpm.

I'm not much of a Honda guy but a friend of mine said you can change the Vtech to much lower rpm, but from what I got from this video that might take some power away...

i asked my tecnology teacher in school how VTEC works ( i already knew i just asked him because he thinks he knows everythin) so i asked him how it works and he said ''ah i dont know now'' then the other tecnology teacher walked into the room and my tec teacher said to me ''ask Mr carr he might know'' and i asked him and he didnt know either so i told them how it worked and they both said ''sure if that happened you wouldnt have a engine left '' .idiot teachers they havent a clue
ilovtuners 10 months ago 2
@ilovtuners lmfao do you go to mount carmel college or woodville high school? those teachers sound familiar btw vtec engines r shit, it is only activated at a certain rpm with an on and off basis, similar technology by toyota called vvti and dual vvti constantly adjusts the cams according to rpm CONSTANTLY, so it is more efficient then an on and off system like the vtec. a built 3.4 2jz with vvti would shit over any honda engine and over almost every other engine out there. look up titan supras
InitialDirt 10 months ago
@InitialDirt na scoil dara in ireland ,ye but a 2jz is alot of money and the power that VTEC can make is fairly decent now for like a 1.5 sohc vtec all the way up to a 3.0 VTEC
ilovtuners 10 months ago
in order for vtec to work the ecu needs 5 parameters met:
1.coolant temp
2.oil pressure
3.speed
4.throttle position
5.engine rpm
if any of them arent to spec the vtec solenoid wont engage vtec

@dm86pf coolant temp? dont think so that hardly changes, oil pressure yes. speed no. most important thing is rpm and oil pressure.

@salibs vtec isnt totally rpm dependent it also factors in engine load
@duramax my 2.0 turbo makes 340 ft/lbs with only a tune so yeah small motors cant make torque sure and you cant turbo cam and tune your car for $2000

can anyone tell me if vtec is still activated if you hit 4500rpm without flooring it? e.g say turbo kicks in at 3000rpm....if you gently ease into 3000rpm...turbo will not kick in...is it like that in vtec? or does vtec kick in regardless how hard you step on it?

@Jedras992 or 47 real men saw this video.. wow im so impressed that hondas need all this stuff just to make an engine have 90hp , you can get a 5L v8 that has 5x the torque and power then ur honda , my 6.6L duramax makes 800ftlbs of torque my lugnuts require 100ft lbs each, that means ur honda doesnt even make enough torque to tighten my lugnuts
duramaxjad4 10 months ago
@duramaxjad4 But Hondas engine have only 1,5 liter capacity and they reach 8,000RPM or more. U are from U.S.A and in your country Dodge Viper from 8.3 V10 produces embarrassing 600HP, and i'm convinced that engine dont reach 8.000RPM. In Europe 600HP have mower. For example: Mercedes SLR 5.4l, V8 have 680 HP. But i like yours americam muscle cars like Dode Challenger or Charger. If my saying have some errors, i'm sorry. :)
Jedras992 10 months ago
@Jedras992 thers one thing your cars dont have, and thats torque, foreign cars lack torque, and it may have a few more hp but i dont think that 50hp is worth $100,000 diffrence, i can turbo my car and cam it and make 2x the power you have for about $2,000

@Jedras992 the dodge viper engine COULD get more than 600 hp, but it's designed for power at all RPM's. not for a high, short peak power. that's why it's the fastest car to ever go around leguna seca

you guys are all retarded. checkout Bisimoto's f22a 9 second HONDA ENGINE. as a matter of fact check out all of his cars. 700whp civic wagon, 435whp 9sec f22, 12 sec d15 crx full body, 10sec d15 unibody crx and his new 534 honda cr-z. then try and talk more shit. ;). By the way i would love to see any of your domestics try and keep up with a nsx(c32) and the f20 s2000 on the circuits. so stfu about how much hps you make with your domestics on the straight way.
petervsays 11 months ago
@petervsays
A FWD car, whether or not it's domestic would have horrible torque steer at that much power.
It doesn't exactly make up for the fact that you probably drive a Honda Civic with nothing more than a fart cannon and an aftermarket air intake.

@petervsays I should also mention that you're providing an example of an engine that has been heavily modified. I have no issue with Honda, or Civics at all, but when you're using examples of heavily modified cars with ridiculous amounts of power that are virtually undriveable, you might as well compare it against equally modified cars.
Shrewmy 11 months ago
@Shrewmy ok lets take the f20c for example. winning best motor built because it produces the most power per cc. these little motors arent definitely built for drag unless you got the time and money, but its the most reliable motors. the great things about these motors is that A LOT OF THE PARTS are interchangeable amongst each other.

hb22man 1 year ago
@hb22man Uh, 185hp output from just 1.6 litters (B16B) or 125hp per liter (F20B) STOCK was only accomplished in racing engines before VTEC came around. VTEC engines still put out the highest HP per liter rating of any engine today. My Civic SIR race car with blue-printed engine puts out 178whp from 1.6L VTEC with all-stock internals yet retains all its driveability in idle and low-rpms. Thats the beauty of VTEC
AccordGTR 1 year ago
@AccordGTR i can see how it would be nice to have driveability like that, but a stock vtec is still miles away from being a race motor. 185 horse is good considering the weight of the car. how reliable is it with stock internals? im a chevy guy i like my v8s, considered going honda before but just gotta love the sound of a cammed v8.

@hb22man I had a 67 Camaro 327 that I modified myself in high school so I know Chevy's very well but they have no where near the handling of a 1000 kg Honda Civic race car with Tein N1 suspension. With my modified 175whp Type R EK9, I beat a heavily modified 300whp Evo7 and a 993 GT2 (450hp Porsche) in our local circuit in track attack competition. Our Honda race cars with stock engines would run 4-hours straight in Enduro racing here in the Philippines where track temps reach over 110F
