"provides good low end torque for strong acceleration" I loled pretty hard at that one

[ThePantyDroper]

Doesn't pretty much every engine these days have variable valve timing now?

One only opens when idling to reduce the amount if air that enters the engine. This is why my Vw idles at 690rpm and my crx at roughly 350-400rpm

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 .

@Digbig, i got the cojones to take u up on that offer in my 97 golf if he won't. Sounds like fun

[T22crzz]

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.

@1000hpHONDA Are we doing this or what? I want to see you flood your puny motor with mud.

[DigBickDandit]

@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.

@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.

[1000hpHONDA]

@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.

[DigBickDandit]

It's funny... because V-Tech is a children's toy brand :D
