VTEC??? no VTEC in Z or N 600 cars! Vtec didnt come
out until late 80's honda cars.

Vtec
I know it started comming in the newer model cars but I want t0o see if
I can adapt it...a Vtec is a sensoe that goes by the cams...(on the
head)..wat it does is when the car goes on high Rpm"s it opens and it
goes even higher..which means that the car will g0o faster...I was also
thinkin of puting an MSD 2step also...

RichaL,
unfortunately whomever told you how the Honda V-TEC system works, left
out about 90% of it.
the V-TEC solenoid is just an electronically controlled valve, that
when activated (at a set RPM), allows oil to be pushed into a section
of the head to lock a pin that activate lifters running on secondary
lobes of the cam(s).
basically, V-TEC cams have two lobe profiles per valve, and when the
V-TEC solenoid is activated, it allows the lifters to run on the
higher lift cam profiles.
and contrary to popular misconception, V-TEC is not a magic horsepower
switch.
these profiles are designed to maintain better fuel economy at lower
RPM or cruising speeds, while letting the engine produce more HP at
WOT in the upper RPM range.
yes, they can be modified to create more HP than stock, (as most any
engine design) but the primary reason is for drivability.
most newer cars run some type of variable valve timing system to
benefit from these fuel saving characteristics as well (Toyota:
VVT-Li, BMW: VANOS, etc...), while still adding some performance for
the heavy footed.
the design of the Honda V-TEC system is completely engineered into the
engine. There would be no way to adapt it into your 600.
and i think a MSD would be a big waste of money on that car as well,
but if you'd like to pay hundreds of dollars for a brick sized
paper-weight, well then, more powA' to ya'.
