Talk:List of Honda engines

NPOV

Come on. This article sounds like a sales pitch for Honda. "superior oiling system" is just the start of it, and what I will use as an example. Superior to what? Where's the proof? Why would this ever be considered NPOV? I could see "different oiling system" or even "techologically advanced oiling system" and then text to back up the claim, but the entire article needs to be turned into NPOV. Wikipedia isn't selling anything; we don't recieve grants, so there is no reason our articles need to sound as if we are picking sides. --CTwikipedier 02:55, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Need to scrub off the POV gunk and expand to include the rest of Honda's engine line, such as motorcycle powerplants, the "GX" small equipment engines, and the HondaJet turbofan. GBill 01:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Changes

I moved the article from Honda Engines to the (style-conforming) List of Honda engines. I also changed the individual links to conform as Honda X engine instead of Honda Engine (X). --SFoskett 15:05, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)

Honda found a replacement for turbochargers in its VTEC engines. - I removed this because I don't see that VTEC is a replacement at all. VTEC will never be able to double your engine output whereas you would be able to, in the correct configuration, with a turbocharger. Triddle 17:21, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

The introductory line of the artcile is completely irrelevant. Please change. Use another engine page for a template -CW70.26.11.45 00:16, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually on 2nd look this article was written by a child. Needs to be brought up to a higher not "tuner-centric" standard.

Gaaaa...What gives? I'm editing...CW70.26.11.45 00:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

This list omits the three-cylinder sub-liter engine used in the Honda Insight hybrid. --BipolarBear 13:33, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Should there be another section on this page for hybrid engines that don't have normal codes? Such as the JNA1 or the ECA1? -- tqless 2:00, 04 July 2006

I removed some POV and added sections for motorcycle/ATV, power equipment and aircraft engines. Now just have to track down more info on these types of engines. GBill 02:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

The myth of the efficient Honda VTEC debunked

I posted this on the S2000 discussion page. Go and try the site yourself: Its a gross misnomer to consider this car efficient purely in terms of hp/L. Considering the size of the engine, this car EATS gas in day to day use. Here are some numbers from the USEPA site [www.fueleconomy.gov]:

For comparison I have used the Mazda Miata, a car in the same class and the oft maligned muscle car, the Ford Mustang:

Car:
S2000; Miata; Mustang GT

Fuel Type:
Premium; Premium; Regular;

MPG (city):
20; 24; 17

MPG (hwy):
26; 30; 25

MPG (combined):
22; 27; 20

Regular Gasoline: $2.91 per gallon Premium Gasoline: $3.12 per gallon

(Using combined numbers)
Cost to Drive 25 Miles:
$3.55; $2.89; $3.64
Fuel to Drive 25 Miles:
1.14 gal; 0.93 gal; 1.25 gal

Hilarious. So the S2000 which is HALF the engine capacity of the Mustang uses about the same amount of gas as a 'inffecient' V8? That's

VTEC

The engines are listed by their series, and this has lead to some engines being listed under their series. There is a separate VTEC section for engines with VTEC. For example there were a few B-series engines that had VTEC; however, these engines are listed only under the B-series, they are not listed under the VTEC section, even if they have VTEC such as the first VTEC engine the B16A. The B16A and other like engines that do have VTEC are listed alongside other non-VTEC engines in the B-series category on this page such as the B18A1. The list also seems to be somewhat incomplete for example the B18A or the B18A2 is not listed, but the B18A1 is listed. I made no changes to the article reflecting any of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.164.13.94 (talk) 21:12, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
