MEVI VS VTEC question?
MEVI VS VTEC question?
Can some please help me find that link where someone, if i'm not mistaken, Stevtec, discussed the differences between the honda vtec and the vq mevi setup.
i remember this has been a hot read up like almost a year ago, now that i have my mevi, i need to learn more about it. some honda friends down here wouldn't understand why MEVI is so magical.
I remember it was a long post by some wise guy. it was really detailed, too. i need that post really bad!!

Nissan NVCS / CVTC (cam-phasing) vs Honda VTEC (cam-changing) http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=262261
How VTEC works http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question229.htm
How intake length makes a difference http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question517.htm
A VIM just has two (or three) settings to have a broader powerband
The MEVI and the 00-01 -k VIM are variable intake manifolds. They are just manifolds that will in our case open a resonator at a certain rpm and on some cars it will open shorter runners. This will give more top end power while retaining low end torque.
Variable valve timing, although is trying to do the same thing, is changing the power curve through the cams. It is a much more complex and expensive thing to do but will give good gains.
You can also brag to those honda friends that Nissan had VVT first.

oh, hey thanx alot spig. this is the thing i need.
and those that helped, too, i know the differences, but i need this discussion thread that h2kspig provided to show my friend what the ***** i'm talking about. i took my mevi to his house yesterday and told him the wonders it will do. he didn't quite get the concept. he only believes in vtec and thinks nissan ain't got sht for high ends.
anyways, thanx spig. by the way, i entered ya'll's names for the import faceoff on the 27th. at the entrance, just call out your names and you're in for free.
later spig
