Default Re: Is Vtec overrated?

I seem to think so, but it's probably because I drive a DOHC non-Vtec LS. I was gonna go LS/VTEC but it is way too much money for that. I'd rather spend that money on boost and building my engine to hold more boost. anyone agree? Twas gonna buy a GSR, but since it was White I did not. So I went with the LS instead.

To my understanding Vtec is a function that activates when the engine reaches a certain RPM by changing the cam lobe to make more efficient power though not extraordinary. Is this true?

any opinions?
you have the perfect ride for a turbo. right now I've got my turbo kit in my civic d16. I've bought a b18b like you have in your integra and I'm getting it ready to put in my civic to run turbo on that.

overboost.com put a drag 3 kit & block guard on your car and it put down 257 horsepower @ 6500 rpm to the wheels! Not to mention over 216 ft-lbs. of torque! 1/4 = 13.28 @ 104.9 mph

turbo that baby and don't worry about the vtec.

turbo > vtec
