Chris0628 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 What does VTEC conversion of an NON VTEC Engine really mean ? ...details details details... :-) and does it only mean more power ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It means installing a Vtec engine in a car that didn't come with a Vtec engine. Yes, Vtec engines generally have a little more power but the main benefit is having power both in the bottom and top end by way of running different cam profiles based on engine RPM.

I believe that you will be able to find vtec engines in good condition as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
