Ivtec: Valve lift and duration are still limited to distinct low- and high-RPM profiles, but the intake camshaft is now capable of advancing between 25 and 50 degrees (depending upon engine configuration) during operation. Phase changes are implemented by a computer controlled, oil driven adjustable cam gear. Phasing is determined by a combination of engine load and rpm, ranging from fully retarded at idle to somewhat advanced at full throttle and low RPM. The effect is further optimization of torque output, especially at low and midrange RPM.

I-VTEC - It's like having VTEC in variable stages - a little VTEC at low RPM's and a lot of VTEC at high RPM's. Can't do that with regular VTEC, it's either completely off at low RPM's or completely on at high RPM's. If you tried to add a lot of VTEC at low RPM's you'll lose power.

With regular VTEC you only see the benefits at high RPM's. With I-VTEC you see benefits thru the whole RPM range.

It gets more technical than that but that's it in a nutshell.
