VTEC = TURBO ... actually VTEC is equal to turbo, and it depends how the tunings are to beat turbo. If you have watched Best Motoring (The NSX & SPOON S2000 version) then u will know what am i telling here.
Its usual for some VTEC's beats TURBO and sometimes TURBO beats VTEC's. Depends on who have bigger power tuned.
Example;
- As mentioned in drag strip for a 400m run, its very impossible for 500ps SPOON S2000 (VTEC) to beat 500ps Lancer EVO 3, 4 or 5. Because timing the take off term, TURBOCHARGER will Win!
- 500ps SPOON S2000 will go 250kmh as same as 500ps Lancer EVO, but SPOON S2000 will take slightly later timing to do that. even tho' both running at same speed maximum S2000 cant over take EVO because, the EVO has already took off faster because of its turbo power.
You might have seen some VTEC's beating TURBO, this may due to not the engine .. but the car itself, most wira, satria or even putra on street tuning runs EVO engine but Front Wheel Drive.. slips during take-off may cut down timing and this makes advantage to VTEC to go a bit more further front, than turbo cars.
Try think generally .. and you will know why. Thats natural ..
Cheers & best regards ...
