A Question that needs an answer...

This may be stupid but does anybody think that VTEC would engage in reverse?

...hmmmm...

dont wanna be rude or anything but what has that got to do with street racing????? do you race backwards???? if so dose that mean you`ve won before youve started????

[drdisque]

the vtec solonoid doesn't care or know what gear you're in, if you could go fast enough in reverse to reach the vtec engagement point for whatever engine you're talking about, then yes, it would engage.

I don't know if you've caught on but not everything posted for discussion in this forum is Directly Racing Related.

maybe so but they usually have more relevance than racing backwards. . .

So how is V-tec engaging in reverse "directly racing related", I must be missing something?

Nobody said anything about racing backwards.

This is about simple physics of an engine.

Sorry I meant to say "is not"...

You could be onto something here though, "new backwards street racing" could be a bit of a challenge, it wouldnt half give you a criche in your neck.

They actually have organized backwards racing somewhere...I think someone posted a video of it about a year ago or so in this very forum.

I don't know but the guy who is asking the question is the one whose signature has an engine with a VTEC on it in big letters. Someone who has a VTEC engine should just try it out.

uhm.....


how do you think reverse driving works?
I mean, you could've meant it as a joke
or do you actually think, the crank will rotate backwards when in reverse? gears..

the engine does exactly the same like in a 'normal' forward mode..
so, YES
