Wat is Honda VTEC?

VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is een door Honda ontwikkeld systeem waarvan wordt gezegd dat het de volumetrische efficiëntie van een viertakt interne verbrandingsmotor verbetert, wat resulteert in hogere prestaties bij een hoog toerental en een lager brandstofverbruik bij een laag toerental.

What is a VTEC TURBO engine?

The VTEC TURBO engine series were introduced in 2013 as part of the Earth Dreams Technology range and include new features such as gasoline direct injection, turbochargers, Dual Cam VTC and VTEC on the exhaust profile instead of the intake, marking the end of the ’traditional sound’ of VTEC in this engine.

What is the abbreviation for Honda VTEC?

For other uses, see VTEC (disambiguation). VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM.

How does the VTEC system work?

The VTEC system provides the engine with valve timing optimized for both low and high RPM operations.

What is i-VTEC Honda?

Honda i-VTEC (intelligent-VTEC) is a system that combines VTEC with Honda’s VTC (Variable Timing Control), a continuously variable camshaft phasing system used on the exhaust camshaft of DOHC VTEC engines. The technology first appeared on Honda’s K-series four-cylinder engine family in 2001.

What is VTEC and how does it work?

Many have heard the phrase “VTEC just kicked in, yo!” but few know how it works. Here’s what you need to know about the system. Gasoline-powered engines require four things to generate horsepower: Air, fuel, compression, and spark.

Is Honda’s VTEC worth it?

Yes and no; it depends on how you drive. Honda cars equipped with VTEC technology tend to be more efficient across a wider rpm range than many comparable vehicles, and they’re a lot of fun to drive in the right conditions, but most motorists won’t notice their VTEC kicking in.

What is the difference between a VTEC and a traditional engine?

In a traditional engine, the camshaft opens and closes the valves, and its lobes are all the same size. In Honda’s VTEC engine, the camshaft has two different lobe sizes: Two standard-sized outer lobes and a larger center lobe.
