VTEC V6
I've read about the Porsche variable valve timing as well. I forget the specfic details of the mechanics of the system, but indeed it engages a mechanism that increases duration and lift of the cam profile at certain rpms. I was not aware that this system was able to be initiated without a necessary rpm range; however, I believe that Honda's VTEC system can work in this way as well, since ths system is governed in its operation by four controlling factors, including rpm and throttle position.

read the bottom of this page guys...
http://www.fortunecity.com/silversto...ine/vvt_31.htm It explains how the Variocam Plus system is a two stage setup when it comes to lift and duration levels, while the cam phasing portion is continous. It's damn near identical to VTEC-i, except that the engagement mechanism is significantly more compact and ingenius (it had better be, since it's ten years newer in design).

I believe Ferrai has a simlar system, that uses a sloped lobe, from high lift to low lift its a smoth transition and the camis slid sideways accross the top of the valve. http://www.howstuffworks.com/camshaft3.htm

WOW! Thanks for the link! I was under the impression that Ferrari did not use variable valve timing to make their high horsepower, high rom screaming engines. I guess I was misinformed.....

Yeah, that www.howstuffworks.com site is great!!! I read stuff on there for an hour, and put it in my IEFavorites so I'll remember to go back later.
Thanks for posting it. Dude, you're really cleaning up around here. (No pun intended.) |

Silver S2000 Thanks, (and there is some meaning in that pun) but Look to Texan and some of the others (I dont know many of you yet) for the real Tech advice. I only know the basics, and what Iv learnt from others.

I know it's on the Celica, the ECHO, and almost all the Lexuses. Maybe the MR2 Spyder, not sure... what else?

hey hey hey!..look who's back in town!..
well anyway guys, form my experice of test drigin a stock JDM Integra SiR and a stock Celica SS2...which has same enggine but more hp thenn the usdm GTS.. let me tell u what..at first when i drove it..i thought...that celica should be much torquey then the B18C teg at low rpm...so i stepped on it..but now...it was abt the same as a B18C jdm Teg..so i waited until it pulled over 5500rpm..ok..u can't feel no explosiveness from that car stock for stock..all i can say is..whatever that VVTi-L says it should do, it's nto doing so, it accelerates like a freaking pregnant woman at high rpm's not as explosive as honda if even comapred to a 1.6L B16A...and still restsless at low rpm's. so at the end, I'd say, come'on TOYOTA!..u can't even god damn beat a B18C Teg made 7-8 years back in technology and perfroamnce!.. and then...well..after i finished test driving, I opened the hood, and all i found out was.."SH*T!..how in da hell can i mod this thing?!" the engine bay was smaller and tighter then a fat woman with extra small shirt, and even changing the intake into a cone was pretty hard i'd say..and as for headers...many of u know..that just changing headers for celica is a damn big job, so yea..geez..7-8 years newer technology then the B18C teg, and it still performance wise, can't beat sh*t..but the onyl good thing i can say is, it's prettty comfortable inside...but not a car that u can make it fast, easily..gotta have lot's a cash!. but yea..just my 0.2 cents.. |
