VTEC History & Technology - Wrenchin'

Read about the history and technology of Honda's VTEC creation.ECU tuning company Hondata owes homage to VTEC arguably as much as companies like Hasport. The company was started by a couple of Kiwis who had a passion for racing and continue to today. Co-owner Doug MacMillan says, "We built our business around what the aftermarket tuning community was doing with Honda engines, especially forced induction. It's fairly safe to say that modifying Honda engines has been central to the sport compact car scene and the VTEC system has allowed Honda to stand head and shoulders above the crowd. Had Honda not created VTEC, Honda would have been more like one of the crowd with fewer people selecting their cars and engines for modification. We would still be doing what we are now, which is building great programmable engine management systems for Hondas and Acuras, but we would be doing fewer of them."
