How VTEC Works (In 60 Seconds)

VTEC is Honda's variable valve technology used to change the amount of valve lift and valve duration in the engine. By altering valve lift and duration, you can influence how much air the engine receives, and can thus influence power. The more air you put in an engine, with more fuel, the more horsepower you make! And everyone loves horsepower.

VTEC can also change the valve duration (how long the valve is open, relative to the engine speed), depending on the camshaft design. Open the valve longer, let more air in! Or allow for valve overlap for better scavenging. Want all the details!? Here's the full story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoSmpoWOo8t_q6s

[@bingoberra18]

It would be good to decribe, and maybe you have before, the reason why VANOS, VVT etc etc is not VTEC or a variant of it. Most people seem do not understand the difference between changing the cam angle in relation to the engine versus completely changing the cam lobe.

the only VTEC failure I've personally had, or any of my customers had, was low oil level (burning oil on built and semi-built engines and/or oil leaks), or something with the wiring of the VTEC system on non-VTEC ECUs. The first Hondata-chipped P28 ECU i got had a short in the motherboard (someone had soldered a copper wire from one pin to another causing a short) and VTEC wasn't working. 30 minutes of unsoldering and soldering fixed the issue.

The funny thing is that VTEC in both the motorcycles and cars are additional steps and parts used to impair air intake at low RPM and improve fuel consumption when you don't need the power.

This is wrong. When you put your foot on the throttle VTEC go braaaap

[@knuckleheadcollections]

More specifically (because words matter) ... it's the LARGER center cam that initiates the process for the increase in power. By switching to the center cam, which has a LARGER CAM, that is what causes the valves to open further once they are tied together with the pin. At that point the outer two cam lobes really aren't in use anymore. The center cam FULLY TAKES OVER THE LOAD, causing the valves to open further, allowing for more air, thus an increase in power ... and the outside two cams are essentially just a long for the ride. 😎👍

Thank you, this makes more sense than the animation.

Why not just use the center cam only?

This important info was not mentioned! Low rpm is where torque is produced. Short duration valve timing is needed for low rpm stabilization, hence better torque. High rpm needs to 'breathe'- switch to long duration valve timing.

[@calysagora3615]

@@TheTwh415 Id does only use the center cam (the video is wrong about that), The center lifter is however not connected to the valves, so it engages the outer lifters that is connected to the valves, but the outer lifters are not engaged with the cam at all at that point.

[@Flamingtac0]

Yamaha did similar with their dual runner intake, except that 3L car was as fast as the Mustangs and Camaros. We can combine VTEC (variable cam lift and duration) with Ford's Ti-VCT (variable cam timing) in the coming electronically actuated valve systems. Along with Ford's current variable chamber volume, should be able to improve mileage even more AND both extend the rpm range and power peak. Just gotta get past all this patent BS.

So I have owned many Hondas over my 41 years on this planet. I have built many slow cars that went fast because I installed a turbocharger onto them. My last built was a 1997 Honda Civic coupe that made 709 wheel horsepower at 34 psi of boost from a rather large turbocharger. The engine was from a DC2 Acura Integra Type-R and it was fully built with custom machined cylinder sleeves that strengthen the engine block, forged CP pistons, and forged Eagle connecting rods. It had ARP head studs, a fully ported and polished cylinder head, aftermarket Skunk2 Stage 4 Tuner Camshafts, Skunk2 dual valve springs, Ferrea valves, a 5 angle valve job, and Skunk2 lost motion assemblies (for the VTEC control). The engine was FULLY built to handle that amount of horsepower and plenty more. My best quarter mile time was 9.56@155 MPH. I hated to street race it because it was so fast that it would blow both front tires off from 1st through 4th gear up to 100 MPH. As soon as that engine hit VTEC under boost it was over for whoever I was racing.

[@Engine_biulds]

Vtec, I always thing of it in that it helps a larger port flow great at low rpm but also helps extend duration and height to get flow in the higher rpm because at higher rpm the valves are closed and opened for less duration of a period of the same time. This helps the cycle flow just as good as low rpm but not have the negatives of the intake pulses and mass of the air fighting the ports flow with a more aggressive cam. At a certain port size and length you can get a port to flow BETTER than or WORSE than what is observed on a flow bench, this is because a flow bench does not take into account of valve pulses from the open/close event and how duration (over a period of time) effect a ports flow due to the peaks and valleys of pressure from the pulses of the valves operation. It is the pulses behavior in direct relation to how those pulses effect the weight of air that can either create a slight boost within the intake or creating a vacuum. This vis why vtec to me is nice and makes sense because for a given cam size that flows great at higher rpm isn't so great at lower rpm. -+-+-+-+

"Mega Incredible Valve Erection Complete" or "MIVEC"

[@jo-qp7mz]

Mivec only works on the exhaust cam on the Evo 9 at least

Mass Incompetence at Volunteer Electric Co-op?

[@faizfaiz965]

They're the same thing from different manufacturers. Honda: vtec Mitsubishi: mivec Toyota: vvt-i Mazda: s-vt Nissan: vvt Ford: vct Audi: valvelift BMW: vanos So on & so forth. They're all based on similar concept & technology, with minor tweak here & there, depends on each manufacturer. Brand neutral name for all of them is VVT.
