iVtech engines better than Vtech engines?
It seems from reading on the internet that iVtech is a love or hate technology. CAn anyone explain the difference between the two and why they think one is better than the other? Thanks.
VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed camshafts in the same engine.
