Editor Aaron Bonk talks about the histroy of VTEC, and how it started with cars like the 1994 Acura Integra GS-R.When it first came out, I didn't realize that the NSX had VTEC. The truth is, in 1990, I didn't even know what VTEC was. Nobody really did though. It wasn't until one of my high school skateboarding buddies picked up a '92 GS-R a couple of years later that I was appropriately exposed to the acronym. And what an acronym it was. The idea of valve timing and lift that could both be dynamically adjusted while the engine ran was enough to pique my interest. It also became the cheapest way any of us could remotely associate ourselves with Acura's new mid-engine supercar. Honda wasn't the first to implement variable valve timing into a production engine, but it did it the best.
