Re: What's this? Useful?

looked it up...its an electric reservoir which stores electricity. It supplies adequate electricity whenever it is required.

Maximize the potential performance of your vehicle.

- Improve torque and engine response.
- Reduce audio noise.
- Extend the life of your car battery.

Really?

someone told me it's a secret VTEC activator

as you know most honda engines are de-tuned

If you put this thing on, non-VTEC engine becomes VTEC
and VTEC engine become Dual-VTEC




And this one is for MIVEC

your kidding right?

and if not then your on drugs.....

there is no secert anything in our engines .. if it's there it's in use... why would honda accountants allow something to be put on the car (read cost money in production) and never have it activated???? thats like buying a car and jacking up the drive wheels and leetting it run till the odometer reads 500,000 Km's and then trying to sell it....

There is another trick to activate the secret VTEC

You must shift at 4000rpm EXACT, then VTEC will be activated on non-VTEC engine

It's pretty much like unlocking your Roger Cell phone to join Bell.


But with that thing, you don't need to do that.

and it continues... piling it higher and deeper..eh?

you can't unlock a rogers phone to work on the bell network simply because of the technological differeneces in the phone the hardware itself would not be able to understand a CDMA network ...

I must be very stupid, but I still believe in secret VTEC


and if you can't tell it is a joke or not, and you must be very extremely stupid

anyway, there is a DIY on this thing
it will only cost $20 or so to make one.

and I am going to do it this wekend.

I donno about that 350Z guy, he might act like a fool and guys who flamed him actually look even more foolish than he does?


but this thing worth trying

Material cost is about $10.

They say it will save gas and stuff, and gas price is so high these days. I might just give it a shot.
