  • What is Honda VTEC ( Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control ) ?
    What is VTC ( Variable Timing Control ) or VVT ( Variable Valve Lift ) ?
    They are actually two different technologies that are used to make an engine more efficient. It doesn't matter how many pistons the engine has, these two systems can improve them. Here's my simple explanation.

  • @BP-fx3qc

    IVTEC is vvt and vvl combined. Vtec is just vvl. Great videos man. Quality creative content!

    • @GTContent
      @GTContent  7 років тому +4

      Devil HimSelf Thanks for the compliment.
      A correction. The acronyms below describe the same function. There is a low lift cam which transitions to a high lift cam (or vice versa):
      -VTEC = Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
      -VVL = Variable Valve Lift
      IVTEC incorporates VTEC/VVT/VVL (same thing) and VTC (Variable Timing Control)/VVT (Variable Valve Timing)

      GT Content thanks for the insight, btw that k24a2 is a great engine you have, my brother had a 04 tsx and it had 340xxx miles when he sold it with the proper maintenance they will never fail, as far as i know the guy who bought it hasn't had any problems.

    • @GTContent

    • @GTContent
      @GTContent  7 років тому +1

      Frankcisco Monterrosa Not sure if you were confused. I have a dynochart at 1:00 comparing a non-VTEC vs VTEC engine. The transition to the higher cam lobe increased power in the higher rpms as well as increased the redline.

    I love Japanese engineering. I'm thinking of getting a 2010 civic 1.8 with the i-vtec. I had a ford probe 2.0 with the Mazda unit and I currently have a 2008 mk4 mondeo 2.0 duratec again another Mazda unit with the camchain. it's currently done 164,000 miles and is still smooth and quiet. a lot of civic owners reporting good fuel economy with that 1.8 engine!

    FYI, your vtec cracks at 5,000rpm for lower engagement, 6,000rpm for upper.
    Basically, from 5000-6000rpm, you switch to high cams if you're on the throttle enough, and beyond 6000, you always switch to high cams.

    I have the same car and going to reflash it next week, 6k rpm is waaaay to high to be usable, especially in a manual like mine. Here in Europe it costs around 350-400 dollars to reflash, not that much for a 9-10hp gain up in the range and 30 hp gain in the mid-range. There is no way of telling that the car has been reflashed, no errors, no check engine, cruise control still works, etc...

    first I had a honda civic ek4 1997.
    when the vtec came in, I was torn from the seat and felt a strong tear.
    fantastic!!! the noise also changed. the car and the muffler all original.
    now I have an accord 2007 2.4 tipes. and when the vtec comes in, there is almost nothing. no tearing, no noise, only slightly, but slightly increased. I could not try other tunings to see if it's normal. why? ;)

    • @GTContent
      @GTContent  7 років тому +1

      Thanks! To answer your question, the VTC is set for various degrees of operation. It's not an on and off thing. I'm more of a visual learner, so I'll make a video explaining this.
