While I was driving home today, I was wondering why in 2004 honda didnt implement the i-vtec system into the new s2000. Is it that much better than regular vtec? I read some time ago about what made it different, but I cant remember what the differences are. Anyways, I would've thought that since they modified the engine that they might include the i-vtec, but maybe it was too complicated or something like that. Any ideas?

good question, I'd like to hear some answers

cause honda is stupid and gave the better engine to the integra/rsx

i think the new s2k should b a 2.2L i-vtec

the new k-series has so much potential its not even funny!!!! ive seen minor bolts ons such as i/h/e w/ honda reflash make 220whp....that is not fair man!!!!

for example...here what a lil tunning can get u out of a k20a2(USDM RSX Motor) can do...i/h/e, hondata, ported intake mani.... this motor i feel shits on the F20C ...imagine this motor in a lil civic hatch...all u will hear is zoom!!! to bad it doesnt look at nice as the s2k ..the only thing that makes me feel better...s2k = expensive pimp ride

Just thought I'd let you know this thread is considered very entertaining in Japan.

I for one like the regular VTEC engine, the noise, the feel, the kick once it enters VTEC. i-VTEC feels too ordinary, like a normal Nissan or Toyota engine.

but its about performance, i-vtec adjust constantly to provide maximum performance and v-tec has just one switch point, wonder how a 2.2 i v-tec would be ... ahhh

another thing i noticed on the RSX-S which has i v tec if it is a continously variable etc.. why do we still feel a kick at like 6k ? like vtec?
shouldnt it justbe smooth the whole time?

If it kicks at 6k, that means the engine is switching to it's auxiliary cam lobes. The RSX-S is a high performance automobile. The tuning on a CR-V is different.

I agree with ThaWyze1, the S2000 is a sports car, and the i-vtec would kill the feeling of this car.

Do you think that honda is stupid?

I think that the RSX-S feels the "VTEC kick" twice supposedly...once lower in the rpms and then up higher at around 6...it's similar to the Celica and VVTL-i
