Re: VTEC vs VVTL-i
what makes you think that 400 hp isnt balanced. ive doubt that youve ever driven a 400 hp civic.
my point was that vtec becomes irrelevant with forced induction even if you think that 300 hp or 200hp is more balanced.

Re: VTEC vs VVTL-i
The VVT for the 20v 4age engine is weak. Alot of people say you can't even tell when it's on and just don't even hook it up or some just totally remove it. A apples to apples type comparison would be the 20v silvertop engine to a B16. Both DOHC and 1.6 liter engines. Even yota guys the B16 is better but nice thing is you don't have to sleeve them to run big boost since they come with iron blocks. Surprisingly it took two almost three guys to load my silvertop into the back of a pickup. That little 1.6 was heavier then we expected and that was just the longblock. No tranny or anything else attached.
