Gemini

Communication Matters
Communication is often the favorite activity of Geminis. They tend to be very eloquent and witty conversationalists; this is a good thing because they are usually quite talkative individuals. Geminis are known for having outstanding communication skills, and they get along with most people. On the downside, because Geminis enjoy talking and are very people oriented, they sometimes engage in more gossip than they should.

High Tolerance for Change
Geminis thrive on change. They thrive on novel experiences and constantly seek opportunities to try new things. The perfect quote to sum up how Geminis view change is "variety is the spice of life". The versatility aspect of typical Gemini traits means that people born under this sign are usually adept at multi-tasking. They thrive on juggling numerous priorities and projects, and they really aren't happy unless they're working on several things simultaneously.
On the downside, Geminis can easily become bored, and aren't great at concentrating on a single project for a long period of time. They become restless when there isn't enough change and excitement, and there's nothing a Gemini hates more than feeling stuck in a rut. When Geminis get bored with a project, they're known to just stop working on it so they can focus on something else that catches their attention.

Intellect
Geminis tend to be very intelligent, and their minds work in a rational and logical manner. With varied interests, their high level of curiosity often drives those with Gemini traits to become knowledgeable about a wide variety of subjects. They learn quickly and easily, and seek out opportunities to acquire new knowledge. However, they don't always do well in traditional educational settings, simply because they get bored very easily.

Dependability
Geminis aren't always the most reliable of individuals. Because they tend to get restless and bored when there isn't enough excitement, they change their minds quite frequently. Since they thrive on change and excitement, finishing projects once begun isn't a strong suit of Gemini individuals.

It’s showdown

“If you can’t even make a car of your own, why keep bashing? You are just using.” (Charles Ding Kuan Jian, 2009)

I start off this post with a simple quote from my friend… And I will begin with simple comparison about the engine used, and power output for all similar equivalent vehicles from all competing manufacturers.

1.5 Litre Class

Competing Cars	Honda City	Toyota Vios
Engine Code	L15A	1NZ-FE
Engine Type	SOHC i-VTEC	DOHC VVT-i
Configuration	Inline-4	Inline-4
Horsepower (PS)	120@6500RPM	109@6000RPM
Torque (Nm)	145@4800RPM	141@4200RPM

This is the long old rivals… Technically wise, the Vios with VVT-i is much more suitable in normal driving, with all nice power distribution over all RPMs. Real power and handling wise, Vios is no where to match the City. Specification wise also tells that 1NZ-FE inferiority being DOHC but such a lower output comparing to L15A. Both are good enough to offer what you need, provided you don’t really compare the built and features.

1.6 Litre Class

Competing Cars	Honda Civic 1.6	Toyota Altis 1.6	Proton Waja 1.6	Proton Waja 1.6 Campro	Proton Waja 1.6 Campro CPS
Engine Code	R16A	3ZZ-FE	4G18	S4PH	S4PH
Engine Type	SOHC i-VTEC	DOHC VVT-i	SOHC	DOHC	DOHC
Configuration	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4
Horsepower (PS)	125@6500RPM	105@6000RPM	102@6000RPM	110@6000RPM	125@6500RPM
Torque (Nm)	151@4200RPM	145@4400RPM	140@2750RPM	148@4000RPM	150@4500RPM

From the specifications, the Altis 1.6 is quite the loser here with the VVT-i. While it still can offer a smooth riding, the power isn’t quite up to level, better opt for the Vios with better weight and power output as a 1.5. Another downpoint is with that already low 105 horsepower, it is only achievable @ 6000RPM which is very difficult 2nd gear onwards without Valve Lift and with only 4 speed Auto.

The next worse case is the Proton Waja Campro, as usual… The ever so and so Campro engine with torque dip around 2000RPM to 3500RPM which is crucial to normal cruising. Expect to either to drive under 2000RPM to stay in 2nd gear all the way from your house to office, or just drive normally and enjoy the “Torque Dip Effect” where you will be watching each and every car cutting off by your side, or else you can take what the Campro most good at, just rev all the way to your highest output, fuel gone, money gone. Wise choice? Proton and Proton lovers say yes.

Now we will be seeing the good old ordinary Proton Waja with the Honda Civic i-VTEC. For such an old engine by Mitsubishi, and only SOHC configuration without and fancy Valve Timing or Valve Lift, the power output is surprising good. Revving to near 2800RPM is all what you need to do normal overtaking and beyond, and watch the Campro still enjoying their “Torque Dip Effect” while you can cruise with maximum torque. The Civic however, comes with same power output and slightly higher torque than the CPS. Due to the R-series engine nature that is aimed for fuel efficiency, I am not comparing it with the CPS. I can only say that, same point with the City vs Vios that is, CPS inferiority with slightly lower torque but with a DOHC configuration.

The Waja CPS no doubt is the “most powerful” of all in this case. Driving the right way, it does give adequate fuel efficiency, or you can pull all the way for Fast And Furios : Malaysia.

1.8 Litre Class

Competing Cars	Honda Civic 1.8	Toyota Altis 1.8	Proton Waja 1.8	Proton Satria GTi 1.8
Engine Code	R18A	1ZZ-FE	F4P	4G93P
Engine Type	SOHC i-VTEC	DOHC VVT-i	DOHC	DOHC
Configuration	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4
Horsepower (PS)	140@6300RPM	132@6000RPM	116@5750RPM	140@6000RPM
Torque (Nm)	174@4300RPM	170@4200RPM	165@3750RPM	181@3500RPM

Well… A straight look… The F4P maybe does something good but then clearly not enough to stay in the class, or even worth comparing to Waja 1.6, just a slight gain in HP and Torque and with heavier DOHC, it won’t get any big differences.

Altis and Civic both are good in power and fuel consumption, the only things that you could really count is, if you are an old man then just get the spongy Toyota that is very comfortable but will crash into sideways when you trying to play cornering games with the Civic, think of Torsion Beam vs Independent Double Wishbone. And don’t expect can outrun the Civic with the proud DOHC VVT-i, the power output still losing, inferior once again.

Satria GTi is not supposed to be in here… Just sharing information.

2.0 Litre Class

Competing Cars	Honda Civic 2.0	Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT	Toyota Camry 2.0	Honda Accord 2.0	Proton Perdana 2.0 V6
Engine Code	K20Z2	4B11	1AZ-FE	R20A3	6A12
Engine Type	DOHC i-VTEC	DOHC MIVEC	DOHC VVT-i	SOHC i-VTEC	DOHC
Configuration	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4	Inline-4	V6
Horsepower (PS)	155@6500RPM	155@6000RPM	147@6000RPM	156@6300RPM	148@6750RPM
Torque (Nm)	188@4500RPM	199@4250RPM	190@4000RPM	189@4300RPM	179@4000RPM

The Civic 2.0 and Lancer all are to belong to the same segment. Nothing much can separate the Lancer with the ordinary Civic with almost same level of power output both with decent engine. Handling wise both are of its class as well. The only thing that ruined the Lancer is the not-so-well done CVT with Invecs-III. In normal terms, CVT should prevail over any gearbox in power band, but not in this one, Civic 5AT prevails this time. It is sad to see that with extra 11Nm of Torque, the Lancer can’t really catch up with Civic acceleration yet.

Move on to another segment with Camry, Accord and Perdana. Specification wise, Accord is the winner here. But in real, the Camry can make it on par with the Accord due to DOHC nature along with the already heavy weight chassis, SOHC is not really a good choice here, but it does give the Accord better acceleration over Camry in low end. Camry lose to Accord in handling wise, that Toyota must be kidding by putting Torsion Beam for Camry while Accord using Double Wishbone and Multi Link. Once again, if you are uncle or auntie and you don’t mind “taufu” suspension, go for the “most comfortable Camry”, just pray you don’t cornering with Accord or any Proton out there, bang your car and call Toyota Assist to help you. Perdana V6, using the same engine as Waja 2.0 V6, is the clear loser here on paper, and in real life it is still loser, unless you facing one who have already lighten his car pretty much. If it is Waja V6, then it will certainly smoke Camry and Accord out of the track.

Cross segment comparison, the Civic and Lancer can smoke all others.

Allies

The Allies forces is the main protagonist in Red Alert series, and still it is in Red Alert 3.

The Allies aims and objectives are to stop the Soviet aggression in spreading the communism, uphold the liberty and free world ideology, as well as maintaining peace across the globe.

Due to the act of Soviet prior to the timeline, the Allies in Red Alert 3 weakened without some of their very best technologies, such as the Prism and Chrono.

However, with the aid of the Future Tech Corporation, they still acquire some new technologies such as the Cryo-Freezing technology, Proton Collider, weakened Prism called Spectrum, SHRINK technology, Damage Amplifier, as well as Rift technology.

The Allies air superiority is unmatched, ranging from precision bomber, superior air to air fighter, carpet bomber, special support helicopter, and also the most terrifying Harbinger Gunship with Proton Collider as weapon. On the ground and out at the water, the Allies is somewhat weak directly; but supporting and combination makes them deadly and almost impenetrable. Thus, making them difficult to get a hand on efficiently at first.

The Allies forces have 3 commanders.

Commander Warren Fuller is one of the soldier that is promoted to commander. His all around tactics can adapt well to any situation.

Commander Lisette Hanley skilled in seeing through enemy tactics as well as intelligent gathering. She prefers to use special units on the battlefield, typically defeating a great amount of enemies with just much less quantity of herself.

Commander Giles Price is the top graduate from the Air Force Command Headquarter, as well as the School of Navy. He will maximize the potential of the air force and the naval force.

Soviet Union

One of the two classic factions from Red Alert series, the Soviet Union.

In Red Alert 3, the Soviet Union still possessing the same characteristics and aims. The Union’s still upholding their communism ideology, and wanted to spread it by conquering the world.

The Union’s brute strength and firepower on the land remains unchallenged, even the Empire of the Rising Sun new technology could not go head to head on land with them. The Union is well equipped on all aspects.

However, with the emerging of the Empire, the Soviet Union is not the lone antagonist in the storyline anymore; both of them have a more neutral stand instead.

The Union has 3 commanders to lead each specific division.

Commander Oleg Vodnik is a few conscript that survived that long and proved their worthiness. Due to natural conscript nature, Oleg is friendly to his subordinate as he once undergo those phases. He mainly uses heavy armor battalion as he felt hard for those conscripts to just send out there and die.

Commander Zhana Agonskaya is the supreme Air Force commander for the Soviet Union. Clear enough, she prefers to use air force over ground force. She is strict enough that she is proud to claim that her air-force is always at best and willing to sacrifice all of the glory of the Union’s revolution. She will also not hesitate to switch to infantry or navy if she sees fits.

Commander Nikolai Moskvin is one of shock strategy specialist. His subordinate often said that he suffering from mental problem. Watching his enemies being slaughtered in a painful way is what most enjoyable by him.

Empire of the Rising Sun

The Empire of the Rising Sun is the new faction spawned in the universe of Red Alert series, in the Command & Conquer Red Alert 3.

The Soviet uses their newly built Time Machine, developed by Doctor Gregor Zelinsky, under the supervision of Cherdenko, to go back in time to eliminate the person who is most responsible for their arch-enemy, which is the Allies technology superiority, Albert Einstein.

They’ve successfully found and erased Einstein from the timeline in Brussels, 1927, and thus considering to have violated the space time continuum.

When they are back in Moscow, they find that the Allies are indeed weaker than before and the Soviets are almost victorious instead of suffering defeat. However, the third world power rises… And strike without warning…

The Empire of the Rising Sun is the third world power spawned due to violation of space time continuum. The Empire possesses unmatched nano-technology, transforming gundam and mecha fighter, wave-force and psionic weaponry, as well as superiority in navy.

The Imperial armies are led by mainly 3 shogunate, assigned under the authority of the Empire’s long time ruler, Emperor Yoshiro.

Commander Kenji Tenzai has the best knowledge of Empire’s technology, and thus will unleash full potential of it at its best. This is also the reason why the Empire’s Mecha Bay also named Tenzai Robotics Facility.

Commander Shinzo Nagama often referred as the Emperor’s Shadow, due to his calculative personality, as well as deep faith in the Empire’s divine destiny. He also upholds the way of Bushido, Way of The Warrior. This is the reason why the Empire’s Instant Dojo also named Nagama Dojo.

Commander Naomi Shirada is the cold hearted shogunate that is born on the deck of ever mighty Empire’s Shogun Battleship. She is loyal to the vision of the Empire, and her tactics out on the seas are unmatched. The Shogun Battleship 6 main battery cannons are named after her, so called Shirada Cannons. The Imperial Docks are also called Shirada Docks.

Variable Valve Timing and Variable Valve Lift session

In internal combustion engines, variable valve timing, often abbreviated to VVT, is a generic term for an automobile piston engine technology. VVT allows the lift, duration or timing (some or all) of the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed while the engine is in operation.

Most of the VVT technology designed to achieve better fuel consumption and better power output while some are designed solely to achieve ultimate peak power. Before we start, it is history lessons now.

Fiat was the first auto manufacturer to patent a functional automotive variable valve timing system which included variable lift.

Honda's REV motorcycle engine employed on the Japanese market-only Honda CBR400F in 1983 provided a technology base for VTEC.

In 1986, Nissan developed their own form of VVT with the VG30DE(TT) engine for their Mid-4 Concept. Nissan chose to focus their NVCS (Nissan Valve-Timing Control System) mainly on torque production at low to medium engine speeds, because, the vast majority of the time, automobile engines will not be operated at extremely high speeds.

The next step was taken in 1989 by Honda with the VTEC system. Honda had started production of a system that gives an engine the ability to operate on two completely different cam profiles, eliminating a major compromise in engine design. One profile designed to operate the valves at low engine speeds provides good road manners, low fuel consumption and low emissions output. The second is a high lift, long duration profile and comes into operation at high engine speeds to provide an increase in power output. The VTEC system was also further developed to provide other functions in engines designed primarily for low fuel consumption. The first VTEC engine Honda produced was the B16A which was installed in the Integra, CRX, and Civic hatchback available in Japan and Europe. In 1991 the Acura NSX powered by the C30A became the first VTEC equipped vehicle available in the US. VTEC can be considered the first "cam switching" system and is also one of only a few currently in production.

And then, we have all sorts of technology today such as from BMW Vanos, Toyota VVT-i etc etc…

Below here we start to list some examples that is common in our region. First and foremost, we will start with the biggest hits that sparked the flame, the ever “torqueless wonder” VTEC system by Honda.

• VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and lift Electronic Control)It varies duration, timing and lift by switching between two different sets of cam lobes.
• i-VTEC (Intelligent VTEC) Simply add continuous intake cam phasing (timing) to high-output DOHC 4 cylinder engines, such as the K20A than traditional VTEC, such as B16A. i-VTEC does not necessarily have two sets of cam lobes like traditional VTEC. In economy oriented SOHC and DOHC 4 cylinder engines such as L15A, R18A, and K20Z2 the i-VTEC system increases engine efficiency by delaying the closure of the intake valves under certain conditions and by using an electronically controlled throttle valve to reduce pumping loss. In SOHC V6 engines the i-VTEC system is used to provide Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) which deactivates one bank of 3 cylinders during low demand operation.
• VTEC-E, unlike most VTEC systems VTEC-E is not a cam switching system, instead it uses the VTEC mechanism to allow for a lean intake charge to be used by closing one intake valve under certain conditions, also called as 12v-16v system.
• A-VTEC (Advanced VTEC) Latest from Honda, continuously varies the valve timing and valve lifting.

Next comes the ever ever Toyota.

• VVT (Variable Valve Timing) Toyota 4A-GE 20-Valve engine introduced VVT in the 1992 Corolla GT-versions, also featuring in the ever famous and best Toyota Levin AE86.
• VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing Intelligent) Continuously varies the timing of the intake camshaft, or both the intake and exhaust camshafts, features in most of the Toyota’s production lineup.
• VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Intelligent)Continuously varies the timing of the intake valves. Varies duration, timing and lift of the intake and exhaust valves by switching between two different sets of cam lobes. Such application is similar to Honda’s i-VTEC. Example such as the 2ZZ-GE 1.8 litre engine that powers Toyota Celica, also serve as the engine for the Lotus Exige S.
• Valvematic is the latest technology by Toyota. Same as A-VTEC, it varies valve timing and valve lift continuously.

Next is the Mitsubishi.

• MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control) Varies valve timing, duration and lift by switching between two different sets of cam lobes. However the latest 4B1 engine series uses a different variant of MIVEC which varies timing of both intake and exhaust camshafts continuously.

Now here comes our national P1, Proton.

• Campro (Cam Profile) Varies valve lift, and half done engine by Proton, which later completed with the CPS. Campro can be fitted either with CPS and VIM, or IAFM.
• Campro CPS (Cam Profile Switching) with VIM (Variable Intake Manifold) Varies valve lift by using 2 different cam profiles, one for low lift and one for high lift, similar to VTEC and MIVEC. Just that instead of using rocker arm to switch between 2 cams, it uses direct tappets with locking pins. VIM switches between long intake manifolds for normal cruising and short intake manifolds for high speed cruising.
• Campro IAFM (Integrated Air Fuel Module) Just a simple variable length air intake gimmick.

Followed by our national P2, Perodua.

• DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing) Essentially it is a Toyota’s VVT-i, just without the refinement. Toyota owns Daihatsu, and Daihatsu supports Perodua.

Now for some western, BMW.

• Valvetronic - Provides continuously variable lift for the intake valves; used in conjunction with Double VANOS.
• VANOS (Variable Nockenwellen Steuerung) Varies intake timing by rotating the camshaft in relation to the gear.
• Double VANOS - Continuously varies the timing of the intake and exhaust valves.

Back to Toyota’s higher level, Lexus.

• VVT-iE (Variable Valve Timing Intelligent by Electric motor)Continuously varies the intake camshaft timing using an electric actuator.

Going to Mazda.

• S-VT (Sequential Valve Timing) Continually varies intake timing and crank angle using an oil control valve actuated by the ECU to control oil pressure.

The very “swift” Suzuki.

• VVT (Variable Valve Timing) Same as Toyota.

The Inokom and Hyundai.

• CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) Same as Toyota VVT-i.

Sky in the line Nissan.

• N-VCT (Nissan Variable Cam Timing) Varies the rotation of the cam only, does not alter lift or duration of the valves.
• VVL (Nissan Ecology Oriented Variable Valve Lift and Timing) Varies timing, duration, and lift of the intake and exhaust valves by using two different sets of cam lobes.
• CVTC (Continuously Variable Timing Control) Similar to N-VCT, just continuously variable.
• VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) A rocker arm and two types of links close the intake-valves by transferring the rotational movement of a drive shaft with an eccentric cam to the output cam. The movement of the output cam is varied by rotating the control shaft within the DC motor and changing the fulcrums of the links. This makes a continuous adjustment of the valve lift amount possible. C-VTC and VVEL together control the valve phases and its valve events and lifts, allowing free-control of the valve timing and lift. It performs similarly to BMW's Valvetronic system but with less parts operates to a higher engine speed (RPM), other similar systems are offered from Honda (A-VTEC) and Toyota (Valvematic).

The king of the automobile industry, Porsche.

• VarioCam - Varies intake timing by adjusting tension of a cam chain.
• VarioCam Plus - Varies intake valve timing by rotating the cam in relation to the cam sprocket as well as duration, timing and lift of the intake and exhaust valves by switching between two different sets of cam lobes.

Finally, we end here with some videos.
