Ricer: yo who needs horsepower when I have a body kit that looks like dogshiz yo?
Me: how small is your wewe?
Ricer:Yo dawg I cut it off so I get better power to weight ratio.
Me: that got vtec?
Ricer: yea man my stickers right there yo!
Me: do u even know what vtec is?
Ricer: it makes my mad fast yo.
Me: kill yourself.
Ricer: I would but my boyfriend would be upset.
Me: I see..... makes sense ****ing ricer.
*Ricer drives away an incredibly slow speed to go pour his inchorence and lack of knowledge on to others*

OMG! I hate these people! I was at a stop-light downtown yesterday and some stupid kid pulls up beside me in like a freakin 89 accord!! Had from all i saw, just a TIP!! Not even an exhaust, just a freakin tip! He sat there and rev'ed like a friggin moron. vroom, vroom, vroom. I usually just point and laugh, but since all he had was a pathetic tip, and me having a megan racing header, megan racing downpipe w/high flow cat, and tanabe racing medallion exhaust i just gave one big loud VROOOOOOOOM back! Haha, poor kid looked embarrassed.

Yeah, i saw that too. You would figure a prelude would pull more than that. Anyone read the article in last months issue of Sport Compact Car about "Does your dyno lie?" (or something like that). They dynoed a Ranger truck on different manufacturers dynos, (apexi, etc.) And each one was different! Some were even different by 20-25 HP!!! Maybe the dyno wasn't tuned very well, or could have been just one of the floocks

I think the civic hybrid gets rwhp. Only because it has a electric motor running the passenger rear wheel, along with it's inline 4 for the front. Am i right? Not Vtec though

Those results would be expected, provided that each dyno was in a different location.

Climate, temperature, and elevation can affect dynos. Not to mention if they used fans to simulate wind or something.

IS it true that a VTEC engine works better at higher RPMs, because thats what a friend told me.

Vtec is just a way to have a performance cam and a daily driver cam at the same time. It has two lobes. One VTEC and the other non-vtec. If you put a crazy cam in a non-vtec car you could get the same highend hp. but your low end would suffer and idle would be horible.

So on VTEC cars: the non-vtec lobe gives you the low end and when VTEC kicks in it gives you the performance lobe and gives you top end power. Like two cams in one.

BTW: this is about the dumbest thread I have ever read.

Fawk allmotor VTEC my Turbo D17 owns you. 231whp.

unless its a k20a3 or a d17 ex motor (cant remember the letters). That motor has a gay cam and a heterosexual cam, there is no **** star cam like in the type s or ITR or previous generations. Its economy.

At least you got the idea. Most people never figure it out. They think unless they feel a mad rush of power there is no real vtec. Our D17 goes from very slow to just plain slow. A diff yes. But little. If you were to get a regrind you would feel more of a diff.

For all those who dont understand:

If you install the vtec light, it will tell you when the vtec comes on. That way you'll know when to throw yourself back in the seat

The VAFC2 does that. It is funny to see VTEC engage at like 2k rpm. Or when just cruising the the highway it stays in vtec mode anything above 3k. Hopefully once I install my new cam I will see more of a diff.

I like the idea of Vtec and understand it a little, but the people I hate are the idiots who come up to me. They go that EX right, You got Vtec, I hear that some good power and stuff, I usally turn around and run before I become and dummer.
