Zishan, explain to me why i-VTEC is needed? I really don't see the benefit on SOHC engines, since they don't have the "harsh" VTEC engagement like DOHC engines do.

well because it would have added torque at lower rpms...plus likely the engine would be dohc.

correct. but take the non-vtec engine and add vtec, and youll have a lot more power. take the vtec engine and take out the vtec and you'll have a lot less. get it?

vtec > yuo

It's going to have VTEC regardless. Do you even know what i-VTEC is?

It's always fun and informative until someone mentions V8 in an RL thread.

300 HP with 250 lb-ft of torque is better than 300 HP with 200 lb-ft of torque.
