VTEC: How Honda Changed Everything

[@AlexMartini.]

Is VTEC past its prime or do you still enjoy the good ol' Honda technology to this day? If you don't have a Honda, does your car have some form of VVT and if so, what is it?! Of course, thanks for watching and hopefully, subbing!

[@nah3193]

VTEC is cool except for when you're not in VTEC...then it's just slow

[@andrewtavendale5838]

I still remember purchasing my first honda in 94 ..I purchased it for fuel economy and reliability as Hondas were known to be reliable at that time however I really wanted a Toyota..anyways I purchased a 92 eg sir hatch not knowing anything about this soon to be my favorite car of all time..was a whole month before the b16 announced itself mmmbaaah..I remember thinking what the hell was that ..then in 98 I traded it on a 96 jdm sir spec S prelude in pearl white ..I miss the old eg but the red top 22 prelude is now my favorite..I still own this in 2022 and low k'd..vtec in my opinion is one of the most fun engines ever built by the big h...... mmmbaaaHHH

[@richardledesma1675]

V-Tec is dope I think it gave Hondas such a great character with such a dual personality because they got exceptional mpg when not getting up the rpm’s but screamed when you drop your lead foot! I love the screaming nature of Honda and they influenced a lot of car companies to create their own iteration of such thing to aid in fuel economy while accentuating spirited driving in higher rpms!

[@AlexMartini.]

Exactly! It was the ability to essentially have two different driving experiences in one reliable motor!

[@frostblght]

About two years ago I rebuilt an F23A4 VTEC engine in my garage just for fun. Afterwards, I tested the engine out for the first time and VTEC kicked in HARD

[@AlexMartini.]

Do you still have it?!

[@Official_MikeyT]

My first experience was actually with VVTI in the driving school Corolla. We were merging on the highway and the instuctor (a car enthusiast) said "shit more traffic than expected. You're gonna have to gun it." I gunned it and then the Corolla made a bunch of angry vvt sounds at about 4000 rpm and I laughed my ass off. Never before have I made a car produce so much sound, with so little forward momentum. 🤣

[@AlexMartini.]

hahahahaah, that happens sometimes on our first go haha. P.S. Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub! This is a new video style for me so I appreciate I support :)

[@omarawilson2853]

Yeah same in my Celica GT VVTI Carry’s power all the way through the rev range so you never really feel a drop off in power, and at 4k rpm the engine really comes alive. Now the 2zz, that engine is amazing. I just didn’t like on the corners, I had to fight to keep it in lift lol

[@ctrl-alt-bingo]

Vtec and vvti is such an amazing feat of engineering if you really think about it, really makes you hopeful about the future, if humans can be clever enough to make that work

[@AlexMartini.]

That's what i'm saying. I wish that people appreciated the engineering work that went into it

[@omarawilson2853]

@グルグ plus the 2ZZ and pretty much any Toyota engine of the time (1zz Celica owner here) could use its power better because of the VVTI technology along side lift. VVTI allowed the intake side to be adjust accordingly due to engine load and other factors like going up and downhill, where as standard VVT didn’t do this, it basically locks within two positions open or closed. That’s part of the reason the 2ZZ has such a big kick at 6k rpm. Amazing engineering on Yamaha and Toyota’s part

[@lancimusprime]

My first car was a second gen Probe GT. Freaking loved that car. Thanks for attempting to show it a sliver of respect 😅. I've never gotten the chance to "experience" VTEC, but maybe someday soon!!

I remember the whole VTEC craze back in the late 90's, specifically the EM1 1st came out in the States. Being only 17yo at the time, I never really had the chance to drive anything with VTEC until around '01 when a friend let me borrow his EM1. But the 1st time I experienced it was in a '00 Prelude. It was all about the B18c1 or B16a's back then. Now I own a K24a Civic and it just brings back old memories. Keep up with the great content Alex!

One day bro... P.S. Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub!

[@TheMattyD]

My TSX has it… some form of it. K24a2. At the crank it has 200-205hp, but that’s only in VTEC. Otherwise I swear it feels like my Olds Alero. Just a slow Honda lol. No disrespect to Honda though. These things last forever.

[@AlexMartini.]

Nothing better than a good ol' Honda never dying ever; ever. P.S. Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub! This is a new video style for me so I appreciate I support :)

Probe GT!

[@AlexMartini.]

Should we talk about them more?

[@DonMegaPLP]

Probe GT with the turbocharged F2T engines were the 💩. Don't let anyone tell you different. Dumb torque.

[@AlexMartini.]

I gotta make a video on the Ford Probe now hahaha.

[@GerardoHernandezF87M2]

Never had VTEC, all I had was VANOS 🥲

[@AlexMartini.]

Has it been reliable enough to brag about? haha. P.S. Thanks for the comment and hopefully, sub! This is a new video style for me so I appreciate I support :)

[@omarawilson2853]

VANOS is cool tho. It’s basically dual VVT and gives you optimum power on the intake and exhaust, loose to my VVTI, which only optimizes the Intake side. It’s a great technology. I don’t know about this reliability tho.
