about vtec

[hybridsol]

no I meant camshaft........what gives????????? VTEC allows the engine to effectively have multiple (CAMSHAFTS). As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. look why do you want to fight with me? can't we just call it a night? i'll buy you a beer?

when u say another cam chaft, that means what ur saying is honda has multiple cams in one head that change over to achieve better breathing when vtec engages, NO when vtec enganges an oil line is activated which turns that same exact cam shaft over to a higher cam lobe, another cam shaft would mean there would be 2 for intake and 2 for exhaust....

lol, ok. Fuck it buy me a beerr.... yayyyy

thanks mod.

The Honda VTEC system actually uses two camshafts, one that is setup for low RPM operation, while the second operates at high RPMs.

DONT WORRY, I know u meant cam lobe and not cam shaft honda uses to achieve that oh so great vtec, problem is not just honda has it, toyota's patent is actually a nicer one. VVTL-i works on the same basis but turns the cam over to suck in more air when full acceleration is underwent, lol everyone has vtec, ford zetec, honda vtec, chrysler Gtech, toyota vvtl-i, and bmw with there more advanced vanos.....Lol, I can guarentee there are only about 12-18 real mechanics on here, I know some people read a couple articles and have some honda books and think they know. Another cam? SO they have 4 cams? they would need 4 cams in order to switch to a better one at higher rpms, oh u must mean it turns over to a larger cam lobe, right right. Type-o... Mechanics get payed to work on these marvelous machines and are disrespected everyday by people who come walkin in slinging all the techno babble they got out of the last issue of car and driver.. Please stop thats all i ask, thats one of the reasons i stopped coming on here. As for the people that do offer the advice and are confident in what there sayin is true, happy posting....

actually Mr. hybridsol is quite estute the valve timing system was set to run multiple camshafts. Also I am impressed with your knowledge of vanos not many ppl know of this variation motor.

let me add something, the VTEC system was (originally) designed to run multiple camshafts, yet in all cars brought out on market it was a single.

I guess i should have put originally...... me=red in the face.
