message: Anyone who agrees that this CJ DUB person is not saying anything worth having on this page, and that comments made by CJ DUB should be deleted from this page please sign here. Anyone who thinks these arguments are valid should also sign.
:There's no reason to delete anyone's comments, but I think we've gotten off focus here.  The talk page for an article is not to debate minutiae regarding how much better one technology is over the other, it's about discussing the article and how to make it better.

replies: text: Dude, you said it yourself. The S2000 is lighter and smaller than the mustang, but gets the same mileage nearly. You think they test the engine alone? Also, you have no idea of premium vs. regular. The F22C or whatever needs >10:1 compression to make the advertized numbers. This requires a fuel that does not detonate as easily, ie. premium 91+. The mustang will not run on 91, since the engine is carefully tuned to 87. The octane rating has NOTHING to do with power. Some people have said that mileage is irrelevant with regard to sports cars, but I disagree. For one, if you aren't noticing how much of a hit 91 octane is these days, then you have too much money. Second, promoting certain cars on the basis of their "high tuning and effciency" as I have stated at the top, (and as is common for honda) is a great misnomer and hype. In conclusion, the VTEC is not any more high tech than the majority of systems available today. CJ DUB 03:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Honda promotes high tuning and efficiency, Ford does not; but it is a fact that the fuel management systems on new Ford engines are just as sophisticated as VTEC-powa. They have knock sensors, variable timing, even variable intake geometry, everything. Mustang is LEV for emissions, by the way. It gets a 6/10 for city emissions and 4/10 for highway. But, beh, whatever, I now believe the last section of the article is probably sufficient to encompass VTEC hype. And its wasn't even me who wrote it. "VTEC owners"? Funny. Enjoy your Hondas. CJ DUB 18:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I mostly blame the Honda owners and Civic Nation for the hype and comparos (>100hp/L). But, listen closely and you'll hear the VTEC mentioned in every ad. CJ DUB 22:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, I'll bite, which exactly, sub 3.0L japanese engine gets 345 horsepower? HAHAHAH. Some twin turbo one-off no doubt. Umm Skyline? CJ DUB 06:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

text: The numbers were supposed to be from Road and Track actually. I seem to have gotten a few numbers buggered. The numbers vary quite a bit from major to major. One of the majors reported mustangs running 5.0s flat on a higher mileage engine. CJ DUB 06:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Well I was gonna say, the 5.7L Hemi can be bought by me this afternoon, truck or car. Ummm. Where might I find one of these Nismo rides? As I supected a twin-turbo, one offs or less than 300 made. Boring. And it "happened" by boosting and 95 octane; BFD . CJ DUB 15:45, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a car just like you did, with high performance parts: 4.7L V8 806 bhp (678 ft.lbs). Well lookie here; more than double the hp of the Nismo but is only 1.67x times bigger. Oh and one other thing: its a Ford motor being boosted Koenigsegg CCR. The only thing in the world that is faster is the Bugatti Geyron with 8.0L and 4 turbos. CJ DUB 16:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

text: So you'd rather compare a regular family sedan with a custom/tuner built/race parts loaded motor, rather than a tuner-built super car, which has the same purpose-built mentality? You are frigging drunk. There is a good reason the Nismo isn't a supercar, its not even close to being mentioned in the same sentence as a supercar. CJ DUB 19:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  And "Also, six thirds the horsepower for five thirds the displacement is nothing impressive." Hahah. Yes it is. You are talking about a US style V8 motor here. I understand your argument now. So it means that the heavily modified Nissan engine is so much better, than a family sedan, but the koenigsegg is note quite as good at being better? HAHAH. I'm not comparing both to the Hemi, I am saying the Koenigsegg Ford motor is superior to that Jizmo motor. That is true. Z-tune (what did they build 25?), might be a different matter.

thread_title:  More Hype added 

message: Removed:
"For contrast, another approach at making high power output is to increase the displacement of a given engine (the 7 litre LS7 motor being an extreme example). Increasing displacement solely may slightly harm an engines volumetric efficiency, but can improve engine output. Torque, which is greatly derived from displacement, is more important for performance than horsepower-this is a trend that even Honda engines with VTEC are following."
Torque alone is not important to the performance of an engine and certainly not more important than horsepower. An engine producing X amount of HP will do the same amount of work as any other engine producing the same amount of HP, regardless of the torque output at that RPM. The person that contributed this should also know that some of the fastest cars on the planet produce relatively low peak torque. Also, "The VTEC experience" should not be a comparison of VTEC to other technologies but simply about the experience of driving VTEC equipped vehicles. IJB TA 21:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edits to "The VTEC Experience" 

message: Comparing a Honda engine to a Dodge Hemi -- dumb bec it is comparing apples and oranges.
What is a fair comparison is to compare the non-VTEC Integra motor with the GS-R Integra VTEC motor.  Both about 1.8 litres.  The VTEC motor - 170 bhp the non-VTEC 140.  As for gas mileage, driving from Toronto to Ottawa at or just above the speed limit 6.8 litres per 100kms -- fuel efficient and powerful.
