TVIS is not cam related. My AllTrac has this, and it's basically a butterfly system similar to what a GSR has in the intake. In the Toyota version, though, you have two runners of equal size per cylinder. Below 3200 RPM, one runner is blocked off at the head end of the manifold by a butterfly.
Ford doesn't make Ecotec. GM does. Ford's ZETEC adjusts intake, overlap, and exhaust timing events only. There is no lift or duration control.
US saw very very limited numbers of N and Z600s in the states before the Civic in '73. The S cars (S600 and S800) were NEVER sold here. The only way any S car ever got here was through someone importing them. Also, I don't believe there ever was an 800cc CVCC Civic. The '73+ CVCCs were all 1500cc engines. The Z and N cars were air cooled two strokes, and were before CVCC technology. With the CVCC, it's actually a small auxiliary combustion chamber, valve, port, and intake runner seperate from the rest of the intake system. The auxiliary system draws in an excessively rich charge while the rest of the intake system draws in an excessively lean charge. The rich charge ignites first in the precombustion chamber, lighting off the lean charge in the main combustion chamber.

Actually, the one thing everyone hates is the goddamn flapper door MAF. *mutter*
The crowd is split on the TVIS deal. Some say it'll run better with the butterflies removed. Some say it'll run like shit and get bad gas milage. I don't know one way or the other. Because it's so hard to get to in my car, I've no desire to remove it just to see. I'd rather spend my time and money converting to stand alone engine management so I can get rid of that stupid ass MAF.

Man, I haven't seen that in years... that's Rusty, right? Eric from FFSquad/ Tite Boy Racing, built that car, right? If that's his car, that car used to be a USDM spec DX that he welded the RDH non SiR front end to, added the SiR stuff, and added the glass top.
As for the TecIII... I'm actually leaning towards an SES EFI system: www.sdsefi.com

I talked to him a little back in '99 or so... And yes, he did weld it on. I remember his website that talked about how he chopped off the front of a USDM DX to weld the RHD front clip on. Lemmie see if I can find the site; it's probably down.
They were never offically sold here but many made there way to the US. That was the first honda my dad owned.
The s800 was orginally aimed for the US market but it produced to much hydrocarbons to meet emissions.
For more info on the early Honda cars, here is a great site
nice.
Here's a kicker... the CVCC model was also one of, if not THE, only cars during the gas crunch of the 70's that didn't require a catalyst to pass emissions testing. I haven't thought about that in over 10 years, so perhaps my statement isn't entirely accurate, but that's the gist of what I recall about that one.
Also, VTEC was invented miraculously in a sushi bar during a lunchtime rush by an engineer who was thinking about some R&D problem. He was sitting there, and had watched the chef stab a live octopus to be prepped for serving, and in that split second he developed the original idea of VTEC.
I don't remember details of the entire story, but I can get more info from the man who told this to me next time I see him...
