BOTH EXHUAST AND INTAKE VALVES ARE LEFT WIDE OPEN AT HIGH RPM RANGE THUS MORE HORSE POWER AND TORQUE. this forumn is full of noobs!
You have to be kidding me. First, please take some typing classes at your local community college. Secondly, I understand completely what VTEC is, I'll be fully ASE certified in Honda/Acura by the end of this upcoming Summer.
I may as well correct you since you insist on being an ass. SOHC VTEC only has a variable intake cam, not both exhaust and intake, which Honda's DOHC engines carry. Because of this, DOHC VTEC usually is far more effective as far as power figures go. The lift and duration is also much more aggressive on these motors than the lowly SOHC counterparts.
Secondly, this SOHC VTEC Integra you speak of, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. VTEC was first introduced in the NSX in 1989 and has since then made it's way through the Honda lineup.
My point was initially that there is such a small performance gain from SOHC VTEC that I was surprised that people were still arguing about it.
