What is VTEC and How Does it Work? - EricTheCarGuy
I've been editing some full length video this week and I came across this bit from a car I worked on last spring. The animations are courtesy Honda Motor Company, thanks guys. I think the title is self explanatory and I hope the video makes it a little clearer for those who are curious about this system and how it works. I've had a couple of requests for this and I hope this answers those questions.

Best VTEC Sound - K20
The sound of that downshift at 0:45 is reason enough to be NA. The car is an 8th Gen (06) Si with a stock K20 and open airbox.
In a world where true driving enthusiasts are a dying breed, peaky and berserk NA engines like this are becoming scarce in favor of more "torquey" engines with consequently diluted powerbands. Despite what you may have heard, the only TRUE advantage of this torque-focused engine type is that it lets you go reasonably fast even if you have no idea how to properly extract the top-end power of a manual performance car... aka don't know how to keep a motor wound up with proper footwork... aka don't know how to use a powerband.
Its easy to say that your engine has 5 liters (or whatever) and therefore doesn't NEED a top end. Sure, but you must be willing to make that statement knowing that a "peaky" 5-liter would make 500 horsepower NA, completely stock. Still in love with that low-end? Low-RPM NA engines sacrifice their full performance potential only to be easier and more rewarding for a novice to drive.
Oh, and cheaper to build.
It is therefore a no-brainer for car manufacturers as long as people continue to complain that their cars can't get out of corners at 2000 rpm. What are you doing at 2000 RPM to begin with? If my shift-light isn't coming on right about the time I'm exiting a corner, I'm doing something wrong. Its no surprise that I never seem to have a problem with "low end torque."

Here yet again is a random shoot for an hour or two. We were bored and i didn't take to much time planning anything. I just had some fun and did it in a timely manner with little daylight left.
I was not driving my car (The hellaflush one) because I obviously cannot operate the camera and vehicle at the same time :)
