I found the same on specialty sites: a whole lot of nothing. I did find a
helpful video on the Honda site that describes the LDA-Series 3-Stage VTEC and IMA system (for what I assume is for both the HCH-II and 2010+ Insight). It didn't discuss the dual ignition per cylinder, but there is lots of documentation elsewhere. The search terms of "Insight" and "L13A" or other engine terms yielded a bunch of fluff. I only assumed the Civic setup was similar, which apparently it is.
Unfortunately, most of the Insight's details are marketing ploys, blogs, and games. It was refreshing to finally figure out how the "EV" mode worked! (thanks for the re-direct).
Apologies for the "off-topic" folks -- the thread is now resuming regularly scheduled programming, already in progress...

You can try cruising the forums at InsightCentral, but the modifications made by current 2nd gen owners tend to be window tint, stereos, interior lighting, blah blah blah. |
