Could this eventually benefit us?
I just thought I'd share something I found out about on another forum:

Granted, this is probably well-known in the airplane circles, but I think it would be a nifty little design for cars as well: no more fussing with needles and bad tuning, better fuel mileage and no more busted throttle servos!

We would stop ruining engines prematurely and the engine companies would sell less engines. They'll never sell us that!
Seems like a great idea and I'm sure we're headed that way but it is probably a long way off for engines as small as we run in cars.

Granted, the OS unit I linked to is quite expensive (over a grand), but that's probably because it's new; hopefully it can trickle-down to something more reasonnable with time, and probably doesn't have to be as sophisticated for cars as for aircraft. We can only hope.

I am certainly enjoying my brushless stuff. I don't know if I would run electric if it weren't for them. There is a neat thread in the onroad engines section about using 4 stroke engines in buggies and stadium trucks. I think that would be neat to explore along with fuel injection. It will happen eventually.

Thats not new at all, its been out 7-8 years.

I've been looking (And gaucking) at that for as long as I've been looking at the O.S. Website. It's not terribly new, and unfortunatly won't trickle into land based engines for a while yet.

Vtec Honda's suck anyway, as do all other Honda's in general.
It'd be pretty funny to watch O.S. engineers try and stick their own expensive Vtec control computer on a 2 stroke engine with no cams to control.

Wow, youre ignorant. Let me guess "american muscle all the way"
I do not own a Honda, nor do I plan on ever owning one, but they do not suck. The Civic SI, Type R, and S2000 are all very capable performers in their respective categories.
