Thats not views, its just facts you are getting totally wrong.
Like its not my view that 2+2=4, its just the truth
I know how vtec works. And I have a good friend who has vtec controller on his car to have vtec come in earlier. It is all about the engine oil pressure. Never denyed they are good engine and very well desinged but like I keep sayin I personally and my personal opion I think they are overrated for what they actually are and they have a device that makes them rev higher and for longer hence giving it more go. In a totally diffrent way to forced induction, but still gives vtec a power advance over other engine. Ie vvt, vvti,vtec.turbo.supercharger, are all types of giving and engine more power
You dont seem to actually have ANY point at all there, do you view an ST170 as not really N/A either then?
You seem to be saying that anything other than the first ever petrol engine designed which made 1bhp on a carb or whatever it was is in fact some way enhanced, well yes of course engines have been developed for over 100years so they have lots of things designed to give them more power, vtec being one of those thousands of things, and one of the better ones at that, how is that somehow a negative thing though?
Turbo or supercharger are different, its not the engine itself breathing to make power, its something else forcing it too, thats totally different to all other mods like cams or number of valves etc though.
