    That was never questioned. Gary was talking about Zac's car with reference to a Civic rather than an S2000.

I am also willing to bet that your definition of what vtec does is exactly 180* off of what mine is, like a half full/half empty type of thing. The fact is it takes a nice big fat cam and says "nope, im gonna be a faggoty ass little cam for 75% of the time" hence de-tuning the car for all intents and purposes.

                  it uses the small cam so it can actually MAKE power down low and then switches to the high cam because the small cam isnt efficeint at higher rpms. it does not DE-tune it, with higher revving motors its impossible to have a cam thats efficient for both gas efficiency and power. engage vtec all the time and watch that " fat " cam try and run it at low R's. it fucking fails.

                  and why would i find somethign else to do all day? i love it here 🙂

                    It does not fail by any means. For some people half the reason they build a motor is so they can have that sweet lope at idle, and with injection it is so easy to make it run at low rpm. Seems to me people have been doing it successfully since the flathead V8, but what would i know

                    BTW you do realize you have over 200 posts in 7 days? That is so pathetic its unreal, maybe get a job or something?

                        FS is my job homes. and seriously, engage vtec and try and drive a car in town at low R's it WILL run like shit. it wont just "lope" at idle. its for driveability/power

                          Gary you forgot something.....

                          those motors need the extra 10hp/10lb-ft on the bottom half of the rev range to even get a 2,000lb car up to normal speed...............

                          i am probably stretching it with the 10 lb-ft figure..... as that would be near 10% of the engines peak TO..............:icon_puke_r:

                          something worth a shit can suffice what gains are to be had with such a complex/uneeded system such as VTeck YO....

                          ........as something worth a shit is not taxed to make enough TO to make a car pleasant/easy to drive on the street

                                        damn, can't you all get along for once? So much dramas here...

                                        For the past 8 years there have been a lot of rumors about newer generation of the S2000, is this official facts from Honda? I don't think so.. It's just a rumor like the rest of them..
