Default What is i-vtec?

Stupid search function

I keep typing in a term to search and I keep getting back an error message "this website does not exist" or something like that. Using the search function can be so frustrating.

All I want to know is what is i-vtec? I know what it stands for I want to know how it is different or how it compares to vtec? Just post a link to another message or give me a breif description. I appreciate it.

same as vtec (has the vtec cam lobe which increases lift) but also has a sensor on the intake cam to adjust timing (advance or retard according to throttle input)

someone please correct me if i am wrong.

You can use Google to search for it too, I know the search on this website has been sucking lately.

There's two kinds of i-VTEC btw. There's the kind for 4cyl engines that is an improved version of VTEC, and there's the new kind for 6cyl engines like the new Oddysey which is really just a marketing ploy because the difference here is just cylinder management (the ability to turn off 3 cylinders while cruising to save fuel).

Here's some links for more info on the 4cyl i-VTEC:
