Any chance of a translation for an old guy, that doesn't understand?

VTEC is the Honda variable cam system. Yo because of making fun of Honda fan bois. Turbo because these Acuras are turbocharged also.

I thought by some unusual and unfortunate turn of events these Acura engines don't actually mate up to any other Honda trans. 

Therefore you can't really use them in swaps, unless you want the rdx auto.

I don't remember exactly what it is. But there is a reason they aren't used much. 

And the reason likely isn't the nice turbo or solid grunt. ;)
