vtec vs vvti

[Weegee]

On comparing VVT-Li vs VTEC, is when it kicks in.
~6k rpm for the Toyota and ~5k rpm on the Honda.

It would be nice if I was still in that powerband on changing gears in the RunX. So in the Honda there is more usable power as such.

Is the 200ps/147kw SR16VE N1 too much of a rarity to join the fight?

for that power, isn't that the SR20VE? I thought the SR16VE was about 170ps

Dont forget Subaru;s dual AVCS as well.

pretty much all manufacturers have some kind of variable cam timing magic these days.

Non-turbo Subarus barely compete with NA Mazdas, so not even in the same ball park

No it's an SR16VE found in an N15 Pulsar N1 but they didnt make many. Still the most powerful production 1600 engine iirc.

Dihatsu's DVVT is interesting

when it kicks in it turns a complete piece of shit into a partial piece of shit

that said im sure they are toyota anyway so its probably an economy version of regular VVT?

wow, learn something every day. that thing must be super highly strung.

Same hp/litre as the S2000 does with a 2litre - not unheard of but definitely pretty fancy. They are definitely rare as hens teeth though, never seen one myself.

i think thats the difference between hondas and everything else, nissan and toyota etc had to make everything light and extreme to make the same power (or less than) a honda cruises to
my b16a goes in in a couple of weeks... barely considered the other makes when buying this car

I would LOVE one of those N1 pulsars, 9k rpm limit and tuned suspension with a nice lsd. Would make the hell track car. They are SO rare though and also yes very highly strung with quite high comp. b8cr is probably still the way to go tho. Easier cheaper, more torque and much more aftermarket support.

This. DC2Rs are superb value for money, a workmate of mine sold a higher-km, nicely modded Type R a couple of months back for $4k.. was a little untidy but would have made a perfect track hack.

[rollaholic]

thats a steal for a type R, nice ones seem to go for 10k+

they only made 500 of those N1 engines or something
