The thing that i found to be the coolest thing is the turbo. I am just waiting for somone from this site to snag one of the VFT turbos and use it on a civic. i am trying to get the flow chart for this turbo, it blew mi mind, hondas researchers are some crafty little aisans, if anyone has ever seen the Acura flowchart i am talking about, they would agree

its differetn vnt is variable nozzel, ie inlet. these change te efective, diameter of the compressor housing, or maybe, turbine housing. when you see one taken apart, its not as complicated as you think. pretty cool engineering very effective, bery simple
