Highway Driving in 'M'

Isn't vtec a cam lob change a Vvt just shifting the whole cam

you're comparing early 90s to today. Now it's iVTEC, and it's damn near the same thing.

 

[$ub$onic]

Ok I did not know they changed it (vtec that is )

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Im sorry you feel that way. But I always thought vtec was when it jumped Over to a "power" lob controlled by oil pressure and Vvt was just phasing the whole cam.


Btw I'm on a new phone and I'm trying to get a hang of the keyboard sorry if I **** a few words up

I think we'll manage.

 

[Bogus]

Blame it on the phone.

That actually is the difference, it seemed like an honest question from someone who wasn't sure, not sure the reason for the very critical reply.

Not, it was just a movie quote.

I just had an inescapable urge to posted something. Like the people who post "first post."


...yeah, I know....

 

[Stew]

Ah, got it. These things don't always come across well over the interwebz, plus it sounds like I need to brush up on my movies!

No harm no foul

 

[$ub$onic]

I don't take anything serous anyways. What movie was it ?

 

[Macehammer]

Billy Madison.

You either love it or hate it.

I love it!

I would just like to add a note that VTEC and VVT are two very different things.

You're right its made for rice........dumb joke but i had to

 

[chivalryder]

I'll take my previous comment back. VTEC and iVTEC is just a form of VVT.

 

[klb1.8]

It seems a better form at least noise wise

That is seriously late. When I'm driving conservatively, I always shift at or before 2k rpm (1.8L 5MT) except for first gear. Gotta save me some gas!

Yeah..... Save gas whats that? lol jk but yeah I like to push its limit and it has been rewarding me by being more peppy when I put mine back in drive I know its just an auto but man this thing gets up and goes I barely step on the pedal and it just goes, while before it would take some time but now its all good.

If you gotta save gas then yeah I can see shifting that low but I would shift at in the minimum 3000rpm in any case even 1st gear but then again im not driving like its an eco car.

Maybe I'm a little different, but I find the M mode great when the motor is cold-which in North Dakota, seems to be about 13 months a year lately. (We had 8.8 inches of new snow the last couple of days.)

When the motor is cold, it takes forever to get the transmission to shift to higher gears. I've found it's easier on the engine to shift at lower speeds and rpm in M mode than in full auto.

I also prefer to use M when the roads are icy. I like the control I have in M mode.

This is because the engine likes to rev higher when cold. It's a little easier on the engine that way. If you ever get a manual transmission the "shift" light (which lights up at the most fuel efficient rpm, supposedly) lights up at a higher rpm when the engine is cold.
