turbo and vtec
Hey
I was just wondering. Does getting a turbo affect v-tec in anyway? because my friend's telling me that his cousins friend got a turbo on his integra GS-R and it disabled vtec or something...

Rep Power: 0 I have heard of this before. Some people with high boost applications disable the VTEC to avoid the boost spike when VTEC kicks in. I dont think it is common and our single cam VTEC does not spike for ****, so no problems for us.
But what do I know. I could be wrong.

Rep Power: 0 disabiling vtec is only good for extreme drag racers who dont drive their car on the street. while u are drag racing you stay in the upper rpm range so the vtec is not really in use. its just extra weight in the valve train that is sapping power.

vtec doesn't add weight, it is electronic .....hence, variable valve timing with electronic control
.......actually, if u wanna get technical, it is.....variable valve timing and lift electronic control and vtec engages at higher rpms
pro drag racers don't use it cuz of compression issues.

Rep Power: 584 did he also say something about n20 being a type of forced induction also, dude, this is now the second time u have made a completely ridiculous comment and have made urself look completely automotively illiterate, please for the sake of urself and other reading dont make me say three strikes and ur out and need to refrain from posting

Ummm... nitrous IS considered to be a valid form of forced induction, but yeah that dude's comment was just too silly.

Rep Power: 0 Go ahead, but only if u feel like being a jerk... SpdRcrChk seems to share the same point of view on that question. Are you going to flame her too? I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, but maybe you can explain to me how I am wrong. Why does nitrous fall under the forced induction section of this forum? N2O feezes the air being sucked into the engine allowing for more fuel to be fed into the mixture (by the kit itself) How is it not forced induction if the more combustable air fuel mixture isnt being "forced" into the engine by the nitrous system itself?

Rep Power: 0 You're right, the compression is done by the n2o and the engine itself. Though you wouldnt be able to introduce the added fuel into the combustion chamber without the presence of n2o. This in turn creates a higher pressure inside of the combustion chamber. All in all, the principal of the idea remains the same in the end result. (more oxygen and more fuel)

Rep Power: 0 You guys are dorks. N2O falls under the F/I category on pretty much any forum you go to.
Why argue this anyway? There are more important things to be discussed. Oh wait...I forgot...this is 7thgen. LoL So how much HP will my new altezzas gimme? JK JK JK JK!!!
