actually i kill tons of v6's :biggrin:

i found this list somewhere on the internet... forgot where

It's missing one:

The VTEC didnt open

:rolleyes:

hahahhah...i'd seen taht list before...but not that one.

:cwm27:

My VTEC is broken or
My VTEC didn't kick in
I wasn't trying
My car isn't running right (they never seem to be running right, maybe they should stop running left)

2. Boost isn't working properly.
happened in real life when my bov got stock at open position. ( leaking boost )
8. Its too hot - the intercooler won't work efficiently.
heat soak on the intercooler can cause detenations.

I am a ricer on those 2, other than those, a lose is a lose

:lol:

MY ALL TIME PERSONAL FAVORITE!!!!:iceslolan:iceslolan:iceslolan

those are funny
i use the my car is limited to a certain speed cause it is 97 :bigthumb:

"no...my tires are too bad" then they speed of, spinning through 1st gear

or

"no, its not as fun, i've had my motor swap for almost a year now, u've only had ur teg for 6 mos...i've lost interest"

They are all hilarious. I like the missing a gear in an auto.

tires are almost as important as engine mods! that's their fault for not modding tires :biggrin:

i like the 4 more cylinders one too.. hehe. true true

tell this to Tat about his 300zx run.. hehe. again it's up to the racer to do mods to cool down the engine.

NO EXCUSES PEEPS.... but i do understand tat's ordeal though since he just put the turbo in. he still has some mods to do if he wants to pick on 300 tt's.

Hahahaha

I've copied and pasted the list into word. Going to make a shit load of photocopies at work then hand them out to all the little boy racers that want to have goes with me next time.

That way they wont feel so bad thinking their stock Type R teg getting killed by a 6 cyl car that out weighs them.

razor... your skyline only has 6 cyl. right? a jag has 6 cyl. on you... something to think about














:cwm27: :cwm27: hehe j/k

my friend said: the two front rims didnt fit, so i had to put the donuts on. AND he said wasnt goin to go racing on a nice night that 1 day.

My VTEC is broken or this has happend to me, im running a sohc vtec motor on a pm6 non vtec ecu so the vtec controller controls the vtec and then the vss *vehicle speed sensor* is acting up or shorting out or something and the vtec controller wont come on and the speedo bounces and i lost to a stealth ricer :bloated: my vtec is truley broken

:lol: I love my NISSAN!

non of that VTEC shit!

:lol:

VTEC is good an all but not my cup of tea though!

ya but ricers probobly dont know what a vtec is

I love my NISSAN! non of the VTEC shit!

:rolleyes: i love how my car smokes 240's all day unless they are swapped or have a turbo and all i have is itty bitty single cam vtec :biggrin2:

Yall forgot, "But My car was built for gas mileage and not torque!"

Actually, I want to revise my favorite...My fav is most DEFINATELY...

"But I have 100hp per liter!!"
:bloated::rolleyes::loser::thefinger:icon16:

by far the WORST EXCUSE EVER!!! So no one use it!:biggrin:

but isnt 100hp per liter a GOOD thing?

Hahaha you sadist Self :bigthumb:

True mynismo which makes me feel so much better when they only get good looks for a very short time at my tail lights.

you must be racing broken down 240's or somethin.. i kill all you hondas with my sohc auto :cool:

i dont know what the hell a vtec is, im 100% NISSAN.

Not when used as an excuse when you just got smoked by a car that gets 50hp per liter. Because in a race...WHO REALLY GIVES A DAMN:biggrin2:
A loss is a loss, and if you race a car with more displacement who you think is going to smoke you, please please PLEASE, either accept the loss and take it like a man...Or at least use one of the other ricer excuses and not the hp/liter one:icon16:

ya but ricers probobly dont know what a vtec is

considering you don't refer to VTEC is having "a vtec" than yeah...

i love that 100hp/l bs.

i've argued against that forever and people who are anti domestic argue it until they're blue in the face...

100hp/l is nice, but not when you've got abysmal tq/l.
try again.

hah, not anymore, I'm done with that shit. Don't need to give the cops another reason to follow me.:iceslolan

Because in a race...WHO REALLY GIVES A DAMN I know what you mean but i remeber using my buddies S/C s2k and beating a camaro SS then using that line to twist the dagger some more (cause he thinks no matter what is done to a car a stock amercian car will win so it was a needed low blow)

u kno...thinking about it...if u don't get an oil change for quite some time, ur VTEC actually doesn't pull as hard...so thats a legit excuse...:iceslolan

for pussy's...:bigthumb:

no for idiots who don't change their oil :bigthumb:

I'll take my '88 inline 6 over a vtec anyday!
and just wait until i turbo that MoFo.....ZOOOOOOM..........

god i love bimmers. hehe :bigthumb: :biggrin: :icesangel

u do know that euro cars (including bmw) have been using technology like VTEC in their motors for quite some time now don't u? so really...no need to hate on it :bigthumb:

btw "a vtec" alone...doesn't exist..."a vtec head" or "a vtec motor" etc...do exist :iceslolan

mitsubishi has mivec which is like vtec, ford has ztec, bmw has its vavle timing technology i dunno why everyone hates on it

Companies that I know for a fact currently use variable-valve timing and what they call their system:

Lamborghini - ?

Ferrari - ?

Porsche - Variocam

Ford - Zetec

Chevy - Ecotec

Toyota - VVTL-i

Nissan - NEO-VVL

Honda - VTEC/VTECi

Mitsubishi - MIVEC

Subaru - AVCS

There's more, just can't remember them right now.


There are two main types of variable valve timing out there. One of them is a "cam phasing" system which makes use of adjustable cam gear(s) controlled by the ECU. The computer is able to vary the timing of the cams up to a certian degree. This can either be done with infinitely adjustable gear(s) or with just a couple of settings.

The other type is a "cam switching" system in which the motor is able to switch between different cam profiles. There are generally either two or three profiles. Now, the various options out there are basically a combination of one or both of these options, and either on one or both cam or on a single-cam motor. In a couple of instances, the systems are able to deactivate one intake valve per cylinder to save fuel. I'll call this "valve deactivation" on my guide. A thorough although by no means absolutely correct rundown:

Audi 3.0 V6 and V8 = DOHC. Continous intake cam phasing , 2-stage exhaust.
BMW VANOS = DOHC. Continuous intake cam phasing.
BMW Dual VANOS = DOHC. Continuous intake and exhaust cam phasing, 2-stage intake cam switching.
Ferrari 360 Modena = DOHC. 2-stage exhaust cam phasing.
Ford VCT = DOHC. 2-stage intake cam phasing.
Honda DOHC VTEC = DOHC. 2-stage intake and exhaust cam switching.
Honda SOHC VTEC = SOHC. 2-stage intake cam switching.
Honda SOHC VTEC-E = SOHC. 2-stage intake cam switching. Valve deactivation.
Honda 2-rocker DOHC i-VTEC = DOHC. Continous intake cam phasing. 2-stage intake cam switching.
Honda 3-rocker DOHC i-VTEC = DOHC. Continous intake cam phasing. 3-stage intake and exhuast cam switching.
Honda SOHC i-VTEC = SOHC. Continuous cam phasing. 2-stage intake lobe switching.
Jaguar AJ-V8 = DOHC. Continous intake cam phasing.
Mazda VVT = DOHC. Continous intake cam phasing.
Mercedes-Benz V6 and V8 = 2-stage intake cam phasing.
Mitsubishi MIVEC = DOHC. 3-stage intake and exhaust cam switching.
Mitsubishi MIVEC-MD = DOHC. 3-stage intake and exhaust cam switching. Valve deactivation.
Nissan VVT = Continuous intake cam phasing.
Nissan Neo-VVL = DOHC. 3-stage intake and exhaust cam switching.
Porsche VarioCam = 3-stage intake cam phasing.
Porsche VarioCam Plus = Continuous intake cam phasing. 2-stage intake cam switching.
Renault V6 = 2-stage intake cam phasing.
Subaru AVCS = 2-stage intake cam phasing.
Toyota VVT-i = DOHC. Continous intake cam phasing.
Toyota VVTL-i = DOHC. Continous intake cam-phasing on intake, 2-stage intake and exhaust cam switching.
Volvo = Continuous intake cam phasing.

BMW has a new system called Valvetronic which does away with cams. Instead the valves are pneumatically (or maybe hydraulically) actuated and their lift, duration and timing is all computer controlled. It's infinitely variable so much so that the motor no longer has a throttle body.

HEY! I only use half those excuses...JK I'm not a ricer...but I own an Acura Integra LS...I hate it so much! Good econ car! But I hate it!
