I think the arthur means that the way the lobes, cams, lift, air flow, etc on the SOHC VTEC engines works similar to the way that it does on the V6 NSX. Not like hp, but more of the way the engine works on how it brings in air, etc. It maybe setup different for the DOHC VTEC integra, del-Sol. I read it kind of fast, but I think that is what he means. He explains pretty good how the DOHC and the SOHC VTEC works, but that that comment did throw me off too. A little confusing, but I think that is what he was getting at. I could be wrong.
Go to
www.teamdelsol.com FAQ look for stats on performance. There is a breakdown of each engine for each model. Find hp, torque, compression, gearing, etc.
The b16a DOHC VTEC engine that is in the VTEC model provides 160hp at 111lbs of torque.
The d16 SOHC VTEC engine that is in the Si model provides 125/127hp at 106lbs of torque.
The b16a is the better engine, but as you notice the torque numbers are similar for both models. If you were to race a d16 and b16 stock off the line, then they would run really close to each other with the b16a ahead a little. The b16a would start to pull away a lot more once the DOHC VTEC part of the engine kicks in, which is around 5400 rpm.
