that is a lot of HP for a 1.8 single cam engine! Honda is the best for engineering the most advanced engines. mind you Honda made the F20C engine, the most HP per liter of any naturally aspirated car engine
@sctflasher379 i've been wondering that as well, i think the "i" in ivtec stands for independent and in ivtec each cylinder's has its own seperate vtec so when vtec is engaged its not working on all four cylinders to give better fuel economy, hope this helps
A TYPE of variable valve timing may have been used in steam engines. Honda spends a huge amount of its revenue in reserch and developement, and VTEC IS a Honda invention. Ikuo Kajitani working for Honda R+D department invented it.
All of the technology for this engine is taken from other manufacturers such as Ford, Nissan and Toyota yet they're claiming it as they're own. I drive a Honda, but I'm actually quite disappointed after watching this video.
@SRIreland1 Honda invented variable valve timing. Are you saying they stole the follow-up technology from other manufacturers to make i-VTEC? Because I doubt there would be any technology to steal if Honda didn't invent it in the first place...
@redhead8793 Variable Valve timing was first used in steam engines so without that there would be none of this, Alfa Romeo were the first company to use it in cars........
The stuff i'm saying they stole is the inlet from Ford, the piston oil jets from Toyota,
Its not that American cars "completely" lack variable valve technology its just they are slow to adopt technology in cars that A) increases fuel econony and B) reduces emissions, so variable valve technology, fuel injection and direct injection are not big features in American cars. I would hazard to guess the strength of America to ensure it has lower market gas prices is part of the problem. If American pays nearly "$2 a Gallon", in NZ we are paying $2 a litre ( 3.7-3.9 litres in a gallon) :P
Nice. Why does some one always has to put a stupid comment. For example "why don't america cars have vtec technology." what and idiot. Almost all of the car makers have variable valve timing they just call it something elses. If car companies would put vtec on the valve covers, they would be a big ass lawsuit because that name is a Honda trade mark. I think Toyota calls there valve timing VVT.

its all about the technology we developed since the 60's and early 70's(muscle car era). If american car companies took the technology of today's high output small engines (hondas vtec engines) and put them on the beasty displacements of older ford/ gm technology we could really be making some horses. Subaru's boxer motor is perfectly balanced, so the perfect engine in my mind would be a boxer 8 with vtec on both banks of that motor.
@GarrettKeetley Yeah but look at like.... hyundai. A inline 4 Turbo that makes 275 hp and gets 22 city, 34 hwy. and its a sedan. And the same with the new Mustang. Thats why im saying they need to up their power, especially for a inline 4 coupe and Still get great gas mileage.
@stlchevy95, so if somebody has this motor theyre a tree hugger? not really. my civic has this motor and im not a tree hugger. besides, just because this engine has great fuel economy, doesnt mean it cant make some solid horsepower. I mean, youll definately have to boost it to do that but still.
100 years after the engine was born, VTEC technology finally reconciles drivability in everyday use and outright performance, creating the first uncompromising engine.
wow this topic is popular, its good tech, but still hondas are not race cars nor the fastest imports its the hype and the ricers that kill it i even used to own a da9 on 10psi(t3) but in the end its just a honda. economy is good in them but there are other cars equal or better(and worse) for me toyotas are a step ahead period.
@ST165SLEEPER Thank you that's what I've been saying. Toyotas a better brand. Hell the Accord only gets 31 mpg while Toyota and even some American counterparts are getting more (Ford Fusion 34) Honda can flash their 31 mpg in commercials and make it look like alot when it isn't at this point Honda's name is selling their cars.
Ricers just kiss Honda's ass because they want something cheap to race in and a car's racing ability doesn't depict the actual value of the car.
@ST165SLEEPER u got it twisted the other way bro if anything honda was always one step further than toyota , honda makes the best engines period , honda were the first ones to create variable valve timing and lift, the fist ones to make the hp per liter egine the first ones to create 4ws the first ones to create electronic abs on a motorcycle and dual assisted abs on motorcycles they have the best engineers period so check ur facts cause i can talk abut on what honda has invented all day.
@SS81320901 also had the first aluminum space frame on the NSX, the first aluminum body on the NSX. The designer of the Mclaren F1 didn't use a ferrari, or a lambo, or a porsche, or any other german, italian, british, or american car to base his machine on; he chose the Honda NSX. Toyota can lick honda's ass when it comes to quality materials, engineering, and innovation. Toyota is left far behind honda. sorry to say but i would take a ford over a toyota any day... and i hate "american" cars 0_o
Uh American cars are just as reliable. Last time I checked Ford is leading the way for the future of American cars, just look at how successful the Focus and Fusion are. While GM and other companies struggled during the recession Ford's stock was steadily climbing and still is, their next generation of cars are going to set the new standard. Ford learned from it's mistakes in the past.
@USSRman45 ya Ford's actually turning a profit this time around. And believe it or not Buick of all people are tying with Lexus in reliability ratings.
It is apparent to me that the fan boys of both sides of the aisle on this comment string don't know what they are talking about. They say the meek shall inherit the earth. For the sake of all mankind, I hope it isn't in reference to mental faculty.
@ST165SLEEPER omg you are a dick head. this is a 1.8l BLACKTOP. of course its for economy. thats what its made for. if it was a Red Top V-tec it would kick in twice as hard and much later. cos black top vtec is low end crossover rather than a later kick.
there always has to be some idiot talking shit about stuff he dont know...
thats why you drive a dirty ass looking celica... LOL
@RussianPIMP64 thats exactly the point have it look like a slow honda, then smoke ur punk ass k20a or f20c, vtec isn't all that thats why companies like toda have a vtec killer cam. never assume the one u talk to doesn't know what he is saying. what i am against is the hype that comes with vtec like its some sort of super technology. its not that special get over it.
ive never had an older v-tec but i think the old v-tec used oil pressure to change the cam timing as the newer "i" -v-tec is totally managed by the ECU. someone please correct me if im wrong
VTEC: There are two configurations, low speed (rotation) and high speed (rotation) to valve control. In I-VTEC, the control of opening and closing are constant to each rotation, to each moment, instead to VTEC that two configuration, low and high.
all of you are stupid. buy a car that suits you and stop pretending its the best fuckin thing that ever happened to the world...u guys are any diff than kids with 240s thinkin they are d1 drifters once they own it
Honestly, I own a vette and a RSX type S. I've beaten all different kinds of car in both and to me i think think its all about the driver... and whether they have the bank account to mod the car.
i got a neighbor with a custom civic, and it sounds awsome.. the car almost touches the ground and it makes an amasing sound when he shifts to the 2nd gear.
@ramod123 you just cant face the fact hondas are quick and you think there slow.just becuz its real cheap dont mean there not fast.you dont need no expensive ass car to be fast
vtec is the best, i love b-series vtec motors, i have a b17a1 1.7 liter vtec under the hood of my gsr, love that motor man, honda keep up the good work
if i had a Mustang GT yes i would. My cuzin and his best friend only raced for money. If a honda civic is Stock and if i had a mustang GT stock. I would race for slips. Honda Civic are no comparison to fucking mustangs. Honda Civic STOCK is sloooooww! Get it through your head!
@xYOURxNOTxALONEx lol saving gas isnt my problem. i got other problems to deal with than thinking about saving gas. having power is what i need. and my car does save gas fyi. and yes stock civics are slow. unless you've never been in a fast car before.
@importkilla89 civics are fast some people just baby them and drive them slow there is a big difference between the 2 and ive seen civics crush your precious mustang GT in races. if u want a mustang just look on the side of the road you'll find plenty cuz thats were they belong or even better in line at the junkyard waitin to be crushed fuck fords JDM ALL THE WAY BITCH
@xYOURxNOTxALONEx seriously. . never in my life have i seen a mustang on the side of the road fucked up. maybe i have but the that i dont remember. mostly little fords. and if those two civics that beat the mustangs weren't stock at all i can tell you that. cuz if they were stock im pretty sure the guys in the mustang cant drive for shit. JDM can suck my dick. take your little baby engines back to Japan for racing. they can stay for fuel saving. and thats the reason most people drive it =)
@xYOURxNOTxALONEx thats true, i know i baby my 92 integra gsr , it has a b17a1 1.7 liter vtec, importkilla89 don't know what b-series in civics and integra's are caple of destroyin a mustang is a piece of cake, but not everyone wants to rev it up to the redline, b-series are high rev motors, but alot of us choose not too there are some that will do just to prove civics are not slow
@integra0guy yea especially in chicago with all these damn potholes honda owners are real careful and baby their cars cuz they wanna keep them rollin rite til they have to floor it to show sumone whats good with hondas. its so amazing tho how a motor so small can pack such a big punch
@xYOURxNOTxALONEx yeah it is amazing how small the motor is and it packs a punch, many of those domestic guys don't have a clue bout v-tec, their ignorant and think their american v-8's are better, when i've seen a few 5.0 liter mustangs smked by a few civics in my town, we keep the domestic guys in check from where i'm from, yeah pot holes suck i hate pot holes
ur a loser and i own a k20z so please shut ur mouth and stop makin us look stupid. our car is not that fast stock. sorry, it isnt. we're in the same class as the cobalt ss and the srt4...they'd stomp us to an oblivion
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
your lil turbo lag wont do shit bitch. i bet you any piece of shit vtec honda wont beat any v8 muscle STOCK. pussiiiees. take your cars back to Japan we dont need em here
have you ever noticed that your muscle cars were not that powerful for the size or their engine and were heavy? for example, the mustang has a 4.6L V8 and 300hp! if you look at audi, the R8's engine has 4.2L and 420hp... and if you look at toyota, the supra's 2JZ-GTE (twin-turbo) has a 3L inline 6 of 320hp.. and, it's not every turbo car that has big turbo lag. if you have a very big turbo then a low rpm you have some lag. but at higher rpm, it smokes any muscle cars.
@GTtuner56 yeah it comes with good amount of hp when you have a big block v8 engine. 300 hp is nothing? how much does your honda have? 130? and thats really sad that the supra only has 320 hp with twin turbo. if i were to put twin turbo on a mustang with the torque that it already has it'll whoop any jap crap. and i give respect to all audis cuz they arent made from Japan. and if you kno much about turbo and have the right person to install it you should have no lag at all. low or high RPM.
its not all about power a s2000 with a stock 2.0 liter is makeing 240 N/A hp thats 100hp per litter plus it can go around turns faster too. their is no v8 big block that puts out 100hp per liter with out the help of a turbo or supercharger. a import car can go just as fast as a american car can and somtimes faster. so you shouldnt be so rude.
you are an idiot. I personally am not an American car person and own an S2000 myself, but I can respect American cars for what they are. Comparing a mustang to "japanese cars" as a whole is ridiculous in its scope. Narrowing it down to specific cars is ridiculous as well. A 130 hp honda would be something like a civic. Comparing that to a Mustang is completely unwarranted as anyone can turn around and say that ford's economy cars suck in comparison to a Supra or GT-R or something similar.
Also, Supras are stock at 320, but easily make much, much more. As far as displacement goes, an RX-7 rotary engine is 1.3 L but is capable of producing 250 hp stock and much more relatively easily. Finally, a word about turbocharging. to have a turbo setup that increases peak horsepower, you are going to have lag. If what you want is increased bottom end power, that is possible with little lag, but you won't see top end gains that YOU would be looking for.
@shadowpenguin36 Your the idiot. Mustangs now have had a big improvement on fuel economy. What do you expect a v8 to save as much fuel as a Honda? And second Supra sucks unless its not stock. A Mustang Cobra would eat it any day. And GT-Rs? dont give me that bullshit cuz no fucker could afford the new Skyline unless you got real money. And the older ones are not even illegal in the US. So why bother?? And i dont care about fuel saving. Im all about racing. No stock honda civic can beat a Mustang
@ImportKilla89 I never said anything about Mustangs' fuel economy. I was simply pointing out the ridiculousness of comparing a run of the mill ford (like a focus or escort or something) to a high performance japanese car. Obviously, the economy car will not be as quick in any respect. However, that is the argument you are making by comparing a mustang to a "130 hp Honda" which would be something like a civic or honda fit or something in that range. It is comparing apples to oranges.
@shadowpenguin36 ok so why is there so many honda people saying that mustangs suck compared to little honda civics? saying how much it'll beat it STOCK. thats bullshit bro.
@GTtuner56 most of them werent powerful compared to todays standards. but back then it was impressive. getting that much power out of a car 43 years ago was amazing.
@GTtuner56 ya but if its a 2000hp iron boat it cant beat a 60hp go kart. power isnt shit if the car is heavy which old muscle cars are. power to weight ratio is what matters
@ImportKilla89 lol yeee haa redneck ass go get your chevrolet 4x4 200 miles to the tank 32 gallon fill up POS that falls apart at 100,000 miles and hate on hondas an importsall day cause 4 cylinders are doubling fuel economy. maybe your opinion on hondas is high performance 4 cylinders that get 30mpg and are built of high quality to last and still hang with the great ol' american chevys. hmm well thats your opinion i know what im going to buy... where teh nearest honda dealership!!!
who says im a redneck? im far from being a redneck. you dont gatta be a redneck to own american muscle cars. how would you like it for me to tell you your a lil kid for having lil "fast wannabe" hondas? who cares about saving fuel? its all about having power. I give full respect to hondas when it comes to saving gas. but not for power and racing unless you have money for better and high performance. what do you expect?
we have a v8 engine under the hood. we know what we gunna deal wit. saving gas isnt my problem when it comes to american muscle. thats why i'll have a little car on the side to go to work and skool.
@ImportKilla89 muscle cars are only good in straight lines and in case you haven't noticed even in America roads have corners so an import tuner would still win
"Honda" Makes The Best Engines Period. They Don't Give You Problem's Like Those Other Car Company's And "Honda" Are Willing To Show You How They They Make Improvment's On There Engine's.
If they threw the catalytic converter in the bin (Which converts carbon monoxide to dioxide,killing us later instead of now) they would get all the power back that the cat strangles out of all motors,as the engine has to force the exhaust gasses through the matrix.
Actually ALL civics have it and if not, all Honda's made today have it. Even SOHC engines made by Honda has v-tec, Only the Si (Sport injected) has i-vtec on the side because it's v-tec is stronger than non Si's.
i meant to say air in other post*** any ways... are power and rpm are controlled by the amount of fuel from are fuel injection pumps. this is old technology... and i don't wanna brag but.. and this is for u Honda lovers. American's.. as in ford and gm are finally getting independent suspension. yay! there really slow!!!
alright. what i c is that they adjust the valves have oil cooling jets and adjusting intake....... what year is this from? my 1992 Mercedes 300d 2.5 turbo and my brothers 1987 300d have this. but in different ways. we have oil pumped into lifter for the valves to go farther open. we have the same oil jets under are's because there diesels and we also have a non pump action. but instead of a flap being moved all the time ares can suck as much are as they want they control the power and rpm...

@mopartrevor426 the i in i-VTEC stands for intelligent, because it is a more intelligent version of its predecessor.

@Chispiolo the k20 i-VTEC is more power tuned\oriented, but uses the same technologies as this motor

Uh American cars are just as reliable. Last time I checked Ford is leading the way for the future of American cars, just look at how successful the Focus and Fusion are. While GM and other companies struggled during the recession Ford's stock was steadily climbing and still is, their next generation of cars are going to set the new standard. Ford learned from it's mistakes in the past.

@USSRman45 ya Ford's actually turning a profit this time around. And believe it or not Buick of all people are tying with Lexus in reliability ratings.

@ST165SLEEPER omg you are a dick head. this is a 1.8l BLACKTOP. of course its for economy. thats what its made for. if it was a Red Top V-tec it would kick in twice as hard and much later. cos black top vtec is low end crossover rather than a later kick.

Can someone tell me the difference between i-VTEC and VTEC?
Lakshico 1 year ago
ive never had an older v-tec but i think the old v-tec used oil pressure to change the cam timing as the newer "i" -v-tec is totally managed by the ECU. someone please correct me if im wrong
dingo20 1 year ago
I'LL try to explain:
VTEC: There are two configurations, low speed (rotation) and high speed (rotation) to valve control. In I-VTEC, the control of opening and closing are constant to each rotation, to each moment, instead to VTEC that two configuration, low and high.
Did you understand?

@importkilla89 civics are fast some people just baby them and drive them slow there is a big difference between the 2 and ive seen civics crush your precious mustang GT in races. if u want a mustang just look on the side of the road you'll find plenty cuz thats were they belong or even better in line at the junkyard waitin to be crushed fuck fords JDM ALL THE WAY BITCH

@xYOURxNOTxALONEx seriously. . never in my life have i seen a mustang on the side of the road fucked up. maybe i have but the that i dont remember. mostly little fords. and if those two civics that beat the mustangs weren't stock at all i can tell you that. cuz if they were stock im pretty sure the guys in the mustang cant drive for shit. JDM can suck my dick. take your little baby engines back to Japan for racing. they can stay for fuel saving. and thats the reason most people drive it =)

@xYOURxNOTxALONEx thats true, i know i baby my 92 integra gsr , it has a b17a1 1.7 liter vtec, importkilla89 don't know what b-series in civics and integra's are caple of destroyin a mustang is a piece of cake, but not everyone wants to rev it up to the redline, b-series are high rev motors, but alot of us choose not too there are some that will do just to prove civics are not slow

your lil turbo lag wont do shit bitch. i bet you any piece of shit vtec honda wont beat any v8 muscle STOCK. pussiiiees. take your cars back to Japan we dont need em here
ImportKilla89 2 years ago
have you ever noticed that your muscle cars were not that powerful for the size or their engine and were heavy? for example, the mustang has a 4.6L V8 and 300hp! if you look at audi, the R8's engine has 4.2L and 420hp... and if you look at toyota, the supra's 2JZ-GTE (twin-turbo) has a 3L inline 6 of 320hp.. and, it's not every turbo car that has big turbo lag. if you have a very big turbo then a low rpm you have some lag. but at higher rpm, it smokes any muscle cars.
GTtuner56 2 years ago 13
@GTtuner56 yeah it comes with good amount of hp when you have a big block v8 engine. 300 hp is nothing? how much does your honda have? 130? and thats really sad that the supra only has 320 hp with twin turbo. if i were to put twin turbo on a mustang with the torque that it already has it'll whoop any jap crap. and i give respect to all audis cuz they arent made from Japan. and if you kno much about turbo and have the right person to install it you should have no lag at all. low or high RPM.
ImportKilla89 2 years ago
its not all about power a s2000 with a stock 2.0 liter is makeing 240 N/A hp thats 100hp per litter plus it can go around turns faster too. their is no v8 big block that puts out 100hp per liter with out the help of a turbo or supercharger. a import car can go just as fast as a american car can and somtimes faster. so you shouldnt be so rude.

ImportKilla89 1 year ago
you are an idiot. I personally am not an American car person and own an S2000 myself, but I can respect American cars for what they are. Comparing a mustang to "japanese cars" as a whole is ridiculous in its scope. Narrowing it down to specific cars is ridiculous as well. A 130 hp honda would be something like a civic. Comparing that to a Mustang is completely unwarranted as anyone can turn around and say that ford's economy cars suck in comparison to a Supra or GT-R or something similar.
shadowpenguin36 2 years ago 37
Also, Supras are stock at 320, but easily make much, much more. As far as displacement goes, an RX-7 rotary engine is 1.3 L but is capable of producing 250 hp stock and much more relatively easily. Finally, a word about turbocharging. to have a turbo setup that increases peak horsepower, you are going to have lag. If what you want is increased bottom end power, that is possible with little lag, but you won't see top end gains that YOU would be looking for.
shadowpenguin36 2 years ago
@shadowpenguin36 Your the idiot. Mustangs now have had a big improvement on fuel economy. What do you expect a v8 to save as much fuel as a Honda? And second Supra sucks unless its not stock. A Mustang Cobra would eat it any day. And GT-Rs? dont give me that bullshit cuz no fucker could afford the new Skyline unless you got real money. And the older ones are not even illegal in the US. So why bother?? And i dont care about fuel saving. Im all about racing. No stock honda civic can beat a Mustang
ImportKilla89 1 year ago
@ImportKilla89 I never said anything about Mustangs' fuel economy. I was simply pointing out the ridiculousness of comparing a run of the mill ford (like a focus or escort or something) to a high performance japanese car. Obviously, the economy car will not be as quick in any respect. However, that is the argument you are making by comparing a mustang to a "130 hp Honda" which would be something like a civic or honda fit or something in that range. It is comparing apples to oranges.

If they threw the catalytic converter in the bin (Which converts carbon monoxide to dioxide,killing us later instead of now) they would get all the power back that the cat strangles out of all motors,as the engine has to force the exhaust gasses through the matrix.
