The audi people at 2bennett Racing told me that my engine was variable timing (2001 A4 1.8tq sport). This would explain the power surde at 3k RPM even when i am not in boost, and the increase in exaust noise, but i have heard people bashing v-tech on these forums, and i didnt think they wouldnt bash their own cars...

 

01's dont have v-tech, its called vvt, and if someone was bashing v-tech, they were most likely talking about a riced out Honda or Acura.

 

Ya, but its the same aspect. Variable valve timing is v-tech. I was just clarifying that i actually have it.

Thanks

 

uh, no dude, Vtech is a HONDA made term for VVT.

 

Variable valve timing is variable valve timing in general. If you drive a honda, variable valve timing is vtech, if you drive an audi, variable valve timing is vvt. Different car makers have their own different branded names for that "aspect." So I wouldnt go around telling people "my car has vtech" or youll sound like a tool if the other person you are talking to knows anything about Audi's. Like when I go to my friends house and he offers me a coke, i think hes an idiot because all he buys is Fago.

 

Read above. It is the same aspect. V-Tech is what they called it, but its the same basic thing as VVT.[sm=headbang.gif]

 

Coke>Fago.

 

No ****, but your information is wrong.... Why make a post about this? Who gives a ****? So your car has VVT, so what? people don't BASH v-tech, its just the fact that every 16 year old with a honda thinks its the ****... when in reality every other car maker does the same thying with VVT.

 

For instance.

Steptronic = BMW
Tiptronic = Audi

Similar idea and implementation, but still different at their core.
You do not advertise your Audi as having a "Steptronic" transmission.....
Therefore, don't advertise your VVT as being a V-Tech. That's all.
No harm - no foul.

are u sure 1.8t's have vvt? i dont know much about that engine but its my understanding that it is a simple dohc with no extra loobs on the cam for a variation in timing. im pritty sure the only thing that changes throughout the rpm range in the 1.8t's is the ignition timing. are u sure when they say variable timing they dont mean the ignition?? again i dont know much about the 1.8ts.
