i think i need to get some gtr badges for it to work on my car

VTEC FTL

Just buy a car with a motor that makes HP all the way through and not just above a given RPM…

JK but it took me a while to figure out how that shit worked… Had to watch a few vids too.

torque is where it’s at

@01GPGT

torque is where it’s at

torque i got some it just doesnt happen till about 7800 rpm

i love it

ok although this might be a little off topic, why dosent someone put the technology that goes into ricer engines into a big 500 block and just dominate. or maybe im an idiot. but nonetheless that is a really good vid and it explains alot.

ricer engine :squint: just cause honda can build n/a and hold the title for the most hp per lt means its a ricer engine

see your the type of guy that give muscle car drivers a bad name

If you could create a dual cam cylinder head with ‘VTEC’ and put them on a small block chevy, the industry would turn upside down.

…quick food for thought:

good example -

-1981 Corvette, standard 5.7l engine rated 190hp.
4" bore x 3.48" stroke

-1993 Prelude VTEC, 2.2l engine rated at 190hp.
3.425" bore x 3.57" stroke

now ask yourself, how does an engine with less than half the displacement make the same horsepower? Simple. Cylinder head design.

Figure out how to put a pair of dohc vtec heads on a v8 and i guarrentee it will make power.

ive heard that the rl should be seeing a v8 in the near future i could only imagine what a blast that would be in a s2000 shell

here is a little more indebt explaination of vtechttp://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1689966

[JackdUp]

A 3.8 Liter v8 with DOHC VTEC would be about 250 lb-ft tq and 400 hp, rev to 8K and would sound like a Ferrari v8?

I’m sorry you mistook what i said. I meant to ask a question, and thats all, not to bash ricers. I actually respect the ability to create so much power from such a small source (as in displacement not stature). For your information i use the term ricer as a joke, not an insult, don’t get all uppity because you feel like you need to defend yourself from the world. Just for the record though, of all the vtec engines i have seen(albeit very few) they have only been in “foreign” (p.c. term for ricer) cars.

im not all uppity about it i just dont understand you newbs who come on here and start your shitty drama :itr41:

o and just for the record my so called foreign car is built more in this country then any ford or chevy is :doh:

[RabidGoat]

I’m not trying to start any drama, if you look at my original post i only asked a question. I did just compliment your car and its makers. Please calm down you are scaring the children.
