Re: NISSAN V-TEC vs HONDA V-TEC

that SR20VE is underated cuz he dynoed @187hp to the wheels bone stock..with just intake filter and greddy exhaust. and the SR20VET (V-Tec turbo) i heard is over 290hp.

the honda guys think they are the only ones with V-tec until recently. thruth is they did think it up and patented the technology but other companies developed their version of variable valve/timing too. but the had to wait the stipulated 12 years before the patent is up. thats why every can freely use it without obligation.
