Re: Why are EX's so slow?
yes, so they get better bottom end, and better top end w/ VTEC. that makes them faster, not slower. that is the whole basis behind variable timing.

I just thought smaller lobes means less air fuel into cylinder so not as good off the line as a non vtec. I guess i don't understand the better bottom end from smaller cam.

Re: Why are EX's so slow?
I'm still trying to figure it out too. Its timing, but less gas and air go into the cylindar as well. I guess for better mileage. once you hit vtec, the gas mileage goes down considerably.

Re: Why are EX's so slow?
I don't agree... I have a 96 EX, I've had it for 5 yrs. It's got 130k+ miles, stock everything and I can still chirp the tires through 3rd without much effort... Plenty of power...
The only work I've had done aside from normal tuneups was a new timing chain at 90k and replaced the oil pan after a friend said he could change the oil and ended up cross threading every bolt on the pan... (should have done it myself) Sin City Granny

Re: Why are EX's so slow?
chirp the tires through third? hahahaha. thats bullshit if you're talkin about dry tar. maybe on ice.
you might be able to chirp 2nd if you have shitty tires.

Re: Why are EX's so slow?
dont worry about vtec too much in a sohc you can hardly even feel it...and to the guy talking about how fast 5.0s are...they arent that fast...maybe it was just the driver but my friends '94 prelude si i/h took a 5.0 that was lightly modded.

Re: Why are EX's so slow?
the si lude are kinda slow i think they have the h23(non-vtec), i have always wanted to race one since the closest thing i can get to is my friends 94 sh lude (the sweet H22 vtec, that will smoke a stock 5.0 or GT rustang)
do you think a 98 ex coupe could even hang with an si lude?

Re: Why are EX's so slow?
that guys was right on the 5.0 mustanges holding no value, and i still think it would be cheaper to mod a cheap civic anyways and nicer looking....
