Honda's hat trick at engine 'Oscars' \n\nTuesday May 21 2002 \n\nHonda has scooped multiple International Engine of the Year Awards for its hybrid and S2000 engines. \n\nHonda has scooped multiple International Engine of the Year Awards for its hybrid and S2000 engines.\nThe hybrid Insight engine claimed its engine "Oscar" for the third consecutive year at the awards ceremony, in Stuttgart, Germany. It won the Sub-1.0-litre category.\n\nHondas newest hybrid engine – the Civic Hybrid 1.3-litre VTEC engine with Insight-style IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) – won the 1.0-litre to 1.4-litre category ahead of five competing diesel units.\n\nHonda hybrid engines also topped the Best Fuel Economy category with the Insight petrol/electric powertrain in first place and the Civic Hybrid runner-up.\n\nThe S2000s 176kW 2.0-litre engine was also voted the best in the 1.8 to 2.0-litre category for the third year running, this year ahead of second-placed BMW's 2.0-litre Valvetronic.advertisement

I want to laugh at the above answer, but I will just smirk a little..no biggie.  Well in honda terminology vtech stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control.  It is more of a marketing term then the actual terminology for what is actually happening on the inside of the motor.  In theory vtech allows the engine to take advantage of variable cams (both high and low lobes) electronically.  The reason for the smirk is that this technology has been out for a very, very long time.  Honda did not invent it nor are they the only manufacture with variable valve timing in their cars.  Honda just labels it as "vtech" as some magical pill that thjeir engines have to allow them to make high rpm power.  In reality the engines can rev a bit higher then their own older engines, but don't necessarily make more hp/tq.\n\nHere is what makes for faster acceleration:\n\nLarger displacement

is this a trick question?

VTi on honda means variable timing ignition....where in the fuel flow and the ignition pattern is controlled by a microcontroller with the help of inputs from a lot of sensors that are attached to the engine and the transmission this helps in saving fuel and adding more power to the vehicle.....the exact algorithm followed in this implementation will be available with only honda engineers....but what i can guess it that e.g. when u are simply cruising.....the fuel supply can be minimized so as to save it....and when power is required.....the processor injects more fuel with the help of valves into the cylinder....

In hockey, a game of power, finesse and speed played on ice, scoring goals are a priority item. A team is awarded a goal when a player shoots the puck past the opposition's goalie and into the goal. The goal itself, often referred to simply as the "net," measures four feet tall (1.22 meters) and six feet wide (1.83 meters). If someone scores a "hat trick" in hockey, it means that a player has scored three goals in one game.\n\nThe team with the most goals at the end of a hockey game is declared the winner. Hockey is one of the few sports that allows a game to end in a tie. Scoring one goal in a game of hockey is an admirable feat; scoring three goals in a hockey games is a rarity. Many players go their entire career without even coming close to scoring a hat trick. Hockey statisticians keep track of both team and individual highlights during a season. For one scored goal, a statistician will award a player one point. The player who passes the puck to a player who scores is awarded an "assist" by the stat man and also receives a point. While assists are a vital part of hockey and carry the exact same weight (one point) as a goal itself, assists are never taken into play when discussing a hat trick. A hat trick is based on goals alone.\n\nWhen a player in the National Hockey League (NHL) scores a hat trick, the fans, as a custom, toss their hats or caps on to the ice as a sign of their appreciation and respect. It's their way of recognizing the rarity of this feat. Hall of famer Wayne Gretzsky, had fans tossing their hats to the ice many times during his storied 20-year career. Of the many NHL records Gretzsky owns, the fact that he scored 50 hat tricks from 1979-1999 may be the most amazing. Akin to the grand slam in baseball, a hat trick is a feat fans will not often witness, but when they do, they won't soon forget.\n\n\nAnother link said:\n\nWatching a hockey player charge down the ice and slap the puck past a floundering goalie for his third goal of the game is one of the most exhilarating plays in all of sports. The term used to describe such a feat, "hat trick," has long been linked to hockey, and, after a bit of searching, we discovered its unusual origin.\n\nWe first visited the Word Detective, the online version of the popular newspaper column written by Evan Morris. He says the term came from the English game of cricket and cites The Oxford English Dictionary, which explains: "The feat of a bowler who takes three wickets by three successive balls: originally considered to entitle him to be presented by his club with a new hat or some equivalent."\n\nWe next checked out an article titled "Puck talk: A guide to hockey lingo" from The Dallas Morning News. In addition to learning that the terms "mucker," "pipe-fitter," "plumber," and "grinder" are interchangeable, we unearthed another interesting tidbit about the term "hat trick."\n\nIn the article, John Halligan, an NHL executive who writes a hockey trivia column for the NHL web site, says in the 1940s, a Toronto haberdasher used to give Maple Leaf hockey players free hats when they scored three goals in a game. Halligan also agrees that the term "hat trick" probably evolved from cricket.\n\nSo, what happens to all those hats that litter the ice? Well, it seems Dave Kindred, a columnist at The Sporting News, has been asked that question a few times. As we would have guessed, the hats are usually given to charities.\n\nHe shoots, he scores, he wins a hat.

At the AAC in Dallas, they collect all the hats in a large bin and put them in the lost and found. You can throw your hat on the ice to celebrate a hat trick and then go reclaim it after the game.

Yes.  It is defenitely a Hat-trick.  Defenition of the rule is reproduced below:\n\nHat-trick occurs in cricket when a bowler dismisses three batsmen with consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings, but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count; i.e., run outs do not contribute to a hat-trick.\n\nPlease note the wording  "or the other team's innings", which \nclears the doubt that all 3 wickets are not necessarily be taken in consecutive balls in the same innings.\n\nFor more details, please check the website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat-trick#Cricket

69.\n\nOkay, okay... it's useful on a race car so the number reads the same from all perspectives from the track, and even if the car gets turned over. Geez...

Honda makes them.  Generac is another.

the original Honda Civic engine, of course. The one the car's rolled out of the factory with.

to score a natural hat trick you have to score 3 in a row without any one else scoring

Hey\nMaybe google Ralliart. Its Mitsu's tunning arm. I could think of weight reduction (i.e. alloy wheels), take out the silencers in your exhaust ( 3-5+hp) and MAYBE forced indutcion.\n\nPeace

Uh, the question is about F1, not those POS backbreaking crapwagons the IRL calls racing cars. And, please, get a grip on reality. The Honda IRL engine isn't pulling anything near 20,000 rpm; their engines are rev-limited in the 10,500 rpm neighborhood.\n\nF1 cars use unleaded gasoline which must comply with EU standards and cannot contain any additives not found in commercial gasolines for road cars.\n\nChamp Car uses methanol. The IRL has used methanol in the past (and has never used gasoline), but went to a 10% ethanol/90% methanol blend in 2006 and will run 100% ethanol in 2007.
