but... Why is our thing even called VTEC if it doesnt even advance timing or whatever... all it does is open some more valves? The old skool VTECS actually have 2 camshafts and then when the performance one kicks in it "pop"s then the car gets audibly louder.. That is correct isnt it? unless im an idiot and need to study in auto I class more...

Do you realize how slow our 109 HP car would be if it wasn't for VTEC? lol. From my observation, the VTEC on the 1.5L has a smooth transition while the older VTEC are made to open at a certain RPM. Also, have you noticed that engine redline RPM have increased over the years? hahaha

Vtec is not synonymous with performance. It's a general name describing many different systems in different applications.
