09 2.2 has vTAK!
I just realized the 09's 2.2 have VVT, how does that effect performance? Do the dyno charts look any different then the 05-08 2.2's?
And someone told me the 2.4 intake manifold is a direct fit for the 09 2.2?

They're a little quicker midrange

Confused by this, vtec is a combination of things including variable valve timing, and is quite frickin cool if you ask me. perhaps you should read about it. imagine a v8 w/ vtec...oh yea, it's coming just you wait. 
and btw ppl, vtec engagement under spool = sploog. lol

There many things going on when going Vtec in a Honda. I'd need a diagram to explain it all which I'm at work and do not have the time. Lift and duration is another thing Vtec Hondas do that GM's VVT does not.

Correct, VVT is superior in that the power from varying the cams is ALWAYS there, not just a sudden ON switch.
It is not, please research how VVT works. VTEC is like an on off switch, where VVT can make up power all the time. VTEC engines begin to drop off power just before it switches lobes.
No, this isn't a Mazda rotary or DSM cyclone manifold.
Amen to that, I'd rather get up and go than wait until my car sounds like it's about to explode before it moves lol.
