My bro-in law planning to buy a 2nd hand Honda fit, need some info about I-vtec & I-dsi. Wat r the diff. Thanks

I have the latest Honda City and wish to remove those i-Vtec, 1.5 LX badges. Any ideas to go about doing that?

read from other forum talking about Vtec and iVtec, iVtec FC is not better than VVTi, and power not able to beat pure Vtec wonder why honda invented iVtec to instead of Vtec[confused] tks

Anyone know what are the ampere ratings for Honda's K20A engines in Singapore? For example: Civic FD Civic FD-R CRV Stream Accord Thanks!

Honda is really power in R&D 1.3L giving 100 horses... 1.5L giving 120 horses... http://asia.vtec.net/Engines/LSERIESG2/index.html "This new Fit comes with either of two 'new' engines, actually a development of the engines that powers the outgoing 1st generation model. They are the 1.3l L13A SOHC i-VTEC and the 1.5l L15A SOHC i-VTEC. The new L13A has discarded the i-DSI technology in favour of i-VTEC and delivers the superior low-rpm torque of its predecessor along with a lot more power in the high rpm range, as well as enhanced fuel economy in everyday driving. It is now 16-valves in configuration, still SOHC but features enhanced intake performance and DBW (drive-by-wire) and delivers a max power of 73kW (100ps), 14ps or 16% more power than the outgoing L13A i-DSI. Using the 12V/16V VTEC implementaion and new ECU tuning helps it deliver this max power along with a class-leading 24km/l in fuel economy (Japan 10.15 rating). The new 1.5l L15A SOHC i-VTEC delivers superior fuel economy combined with good torque throughout the rpm range. Using the 'power SOHC VTEC' technology first used on the D15B engines of the 5th generation (1991-1995) Honda Civics, it now delivers a max power of 88kW or 120ps, 10ps or 9% more power than the outgoing L15A SOHC VTEC. Along with this, it still delivers a fuel economy of 19.6km/l!"

KM up their civic auto to 78K now. Becoming more and more expensive.

Hi Bros & Sis, Am wondering what is the soundproofing like between these 2 cars? Any comments?

Sat in my friend's DC5 (GSR) and he 'kwee' his VTEC last night but did not feel any surge at all. Not even a wee bit. Just wondering if Honda tuned down the transition or is there something wrong?

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=316813 This fall, we will begin launching an all-new Civic. This will be the 8th generation Civic ... with total global production now approximately 16 million units. And it remains a benchmark among compact cars. In order to exceed these global customer expectations, the next generation global Civic lineup will include 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-door models. It will be produced in all six of Honda's regional operations. The concept for the new Civic will focus on emotion and a fun-to-drive spirit. I am excited about the ability of the new Civic lineup to meet the needs of people who love to drive. To achieve this direction ... we have designed a completely new engine and body. In fact ... Civic will offer four advanced powerplants in its first year on the market. This is an industry first. The new Civic will have Honda's latest i-VTEC engine ... with new technology that achieves even higher fuel economy and low emissions. This means every Honda and Acura sold in the U.S. will have a next generation engine. We also will introduce the Civic Diesel in Europe with Honda's award-winning diesel engine. The natural gas Civic is the cleanest internal combustion engine in the world and will continue to be made in Ohio. And a new Civic Hybrid will have a hybrid system with significantly higher fuel economy and performance http://motoring.asia1.com.sg/cgi-bin/motor...000282;go=newer <== here's some pics. *some of u here might have seen it already. i got it of Singapore Honda Club forum. but i tot it might be nice to share with MCF. hope what i 'stole' from SHC is fine.

2004 Civic 2.0 l iVTEC

Check this out ! Seems like Honda just released a 3.0L SOHC iVTEC engine that runs like a 1.5L capacity when low load and 3.0L during high load ! http://www.honda.idv.tw/fact/030701.htm

Anyone drivine the Honda Stream iVTEC 2.0 ? I am especially concern about the overall fuel consumption of the car ... though the manufacturer's spec is 14km/L, but need some realistic figure Any other comments will be greatly appreciated. Also, any comparison against the Nissan Prairie will also be appreciated. (2.0L, full accessories, 145bhp, bodykit, for $100K only)
