Yea, then he can have all the info he needs about a damn phone.

quote// The solution that Honda came up with is the VTEC mechanism: open the valves nice and wide at high RPMs, but open them not as much at low RPMs. So now you have a engine with smooth operation at low RPMs, and high power output at high RPMs.
And that is basically what VTEC is. quote//

i wish there was a simpilar explanation.
i dont really understand. isnt that what high lift cams do? is make the intake valve stay open a little longer to allow a bit more fuel/air into the combustion chamber? can someone explain vtec as simple as possible?

It doesn't get any simplier than this...

Actually in Japan and Europe there were carbed models till the late 90's.

True, but I'm gonna go on a limb and guess he's in America though..

im gonna go on a limb and close this thread.

you have a couple of very good sources to look at now, and if all else fails, try searching the boards for explainations.

try this one from the Integra section (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=165711)
