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.

Thank you, that's a great explanation.

(video is why he screamed v tec for lulz. And if you don't realize I'm talking about new civics like the base model 1.4 i-vtec... I do laugh whenever a civic has i-vtec on the side and the owner is all proud of it though, they would be better off with a mustang trying to extend their groin secton with something like i-vtec)
edit: Oh noesss someone neg repped me on this, mah feelings be hurt.
