VTEC

VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine (i.e. improved economy). The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani. It is distinctly different from standard VVT (variable valve timing) which advances the valve timing only and does not change the camshaft profile or valve lift in any way.

Context, and description

Japan levies a tax based on engine displacement, and Japanese auto manufacturers have correspondingly focused their research and development efforts toward improving the performance of their smaller engine designs through means other than displacement increases. One method for increasing performance into a static displacement includes forced induction, as with models such as the Toyota Supra and Nissan 300ZX which used turbocharger applications and the Toyota MR2 which used a supercharger for some model years. Another approach is the rotary engine used in the Mazda RX-7 and RX-8. A third option is to change the cam timing profile, of which Honda VTEC was the first successful commercial design for altering the profile in real-time.

    Princess In Disguise

    by: Fatty Koo

    (Verse 1:)
    Like a perfect ten in a magazine were the girls that caught my eyes
    Sophisticated queen with the sex appeal
    Beauty no less than a dime
    But the girl that really caught my heart wasn't anything like that at first glance you wouldn't see it...
    But she was really bad
    -papasito, venconmigo
    -dejame demostrar a ti
    -que tu no puedes ver
    -la mujer (marya-dentro) de mi
    (Chorus:)
    She's just an average girl
    Ain't got no mink and pearls still she's like royalty
    She's a princess in disguise
    She's got a heart of gold
    Within a tale untold, that's where her beauty lies
    She's a princess in disguise
    Her smile is like a twinkle in the sky
    A diamond in the ruff with the heart of a child
    Her true beauty is more then skin deep
    Because the essence of a women is hidden underneath
    (Chorus)
    (Verse 2:)
    -tomame al castillo que estan en los nubes
    Hasme princesa de tu corazon, mi serviente de amor
    Desde alli, viajar a otros lugares
    Para vivir momentos inolvidables
    You stole my heart and sealed it with a kiss
    No matter where i look, it can't get no better than this
    My princess, my goddess, you came from up above
    I'll treat you like royalty, with all my love
    Your heart is pure, together we explore
    We build on honesty, one solid core
    You caught my eye, i can't deny
    You're in my heart, you are my pride
