and heres a video of me doing a pull 1,2,3 but its still processing. check back for when its up

 

Nice.

 

gotta love vtak

 

 

I had home made Vtec for a while. Below 4500 rpm I only had 75% boost and 8 degrees of timing, then a 4500 it would jump from 8 degrees to 25 degrees and get 100% boost. OMG when Etec (lol) kicked in, the tires didn't stand a chance! I need to get a video it sometime!

 

is vtec like a power surge or what , kinda like the motor spooling , and i take it vtec only works at certain rpms , lol i hate honda's , talking to me about them is like speaking in spanish

 

VTEC is an electronically controlled Cam profile

It uses seperate cam lobes for high and low RPM, and when VTEC engages it switches from low to high cam profile, effectively changing the engines powerband

 

You used to get mad respect from me for all the crazy **** you have done to your car. Upon further review of this comment, you are officialy a ricer. You put goddamn vtec on your cobalt. You bastard!!

 

my Ecotec kicks in hard at 3K and pulls all the way to 6.3K, its a beautiful thing...

you practically have to to hold traction, man. When I get a new supercharger in my car, I am going to boost limit 1st and 2nd to the absolute max boost i can have while holding traction.

for all the making fun we do, it is a pretty cool idea.

 

that was great, the cobalt seemed pretty quick though.

 

Yes it is, however it is not that much difference, in end result atleast, than the VVT we have. VTEC or Valve Timing and Electronic lift Control simple switches the cam at a certain rpm. VVT actually varies the timing at all rpms.

We don't make fun of the technology, we make fun of the way Honda owners make it seem like their VTEC is equivalent to forced induction or something similar. Like, "I was a little behind then my VTEC kicked in and I totally owned him." This is like a SuperSport rider saying, "I kept losing in the straights then I brought the bike into the powerband and suddenly I was faster!"... um.... DUH. If your engine makes is best power at 4+k rpm then run it there.

 

Window switch FTW!!!!

 

if Hondas could stay in Vtec it would be pretty nice actually

my friends RSX-S w/ intake is all top end but I like the vtec kick in...it reminds me of nitrous, just higher up in the rpms and a little weaker.
