| 4 hp from an intake flow increase, going from 150 liters/sec to 156; there is an increase in the diameter of the intake valves, and in the VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) setup there is an increase in the valve timing lift and duration. 8-liter V6 24-valve SOHC MIVEC engine generates flat and gutsy torque across the full speed range as well as category-topping power output thanks to the adoption of technology that uses two different camshaft profiles to vary intake valve lift and timing for low and for mid-high engine speeds and a dual-stage intake manifold to deliver three modes of engine performance: low, mid- and high speed. The engine damage appears to be due to a tar-like substance--possibly from the chemical reaction between the resin and ethanol--causing hard black deposits that damage intake valves and pushrods, ultimately destroying the engine. |
