vtec

Which Diamond Star motor are you referring to, the naturally aspirated one or the turbo? And to answer the question either way, Honda engines are developed exclusively by Honda, no sharing of design or concept has been shared with Chyrsler or Mitsubishi. Also, neither of the engines you mentioned has a variable vale timing system.

thx for the info
