My Little Grey Book

i dun have the time to finish reading about the site i posted up in my last blog entry.. today.. was reading it again.. n found this very interesting..

"Applied to the Civic Type-R, output rises to a prodigious 197 bhp at 7,400 rpm, with peak torque of 145 lb-ft delivered at 5,900 rpm.

100 bhp/litre equates to a top speed of 146 mph, while a 30 per cent lighter flywheel and improved engine response for the MY 2004 Type-R have brought the 0-62 mph acceleration time down from 6.8 to an even more potent 6.6 seconds; yet combined cycle fuel consumption remains at 31.7 mpg."

damn…!! an almost ideal family car.. big enuff i guess.. i dun plan to have a big family..

what’s more? front n rear struts n anti roll bars.. makes the driver speed in ease..

v tec or Turbo??? that’s the ques. although i’m still not financially that independent, but i’m thinking alrdy.. for the far future.. especially about cars.. gotta make up my mind wat car i wan so i can save…!!!

VTEC
The principle of the VTEC system is to optimise the amount of air-fuel charge entering, and the amount of exhaust gas leaving, the cylinders over the complete range of engine speed to provide good top-end output together with low and mid-range flexibility. Typically, at high engine speeds the valves remain open for a longer duration to give the gases sufficient time to overcome their inertia. At low and mid range engine speeds, where valves opening for too long would allow intake charge to leak back out and exhaust gases to leak back into the cylinder, the valves remain open for a shorter duration.

BUT then again… the power of TURBO is indescribable… syok!!! the G… fuh… u must experience it to believe it!
