Does VTEC work with Turbo?
Turbo is basically a compressor which compresses air and sends in more volume into the engine cylinder. Yes! you can Turbo a VTEC Engine.
What does the VTEC system in a Honda engine do?
Image Gallery: Engines The VTEC system in Honda engines allows the engine to have multiple camshafts. See more car engine pictures . If you have read How Car Engines Work, you know about the valves that let air into the engine and let exhaust out of the engine. You also know about the camshaft that controls the valves.
What does VTEC off mean on a Honda R18A?
Under normal driving conditions, the R18A runs on its normal set of cam-lobes which in a completely reversed role, Honda calls the ‘hot-cams’. So VTEC-off on the R18A means it can be considered to be running high cams.
How does a VTEC rocker arm assembly work?
Under normal operation, each pair of cam-lobe/rocker-arm assembly will work independently of each other. VTEC uses the pin actuation mechanism to link the mild-cam rocker arm to the wild-cam rocker arm. This effectively makes the two rocker arms operate as one.
Where are the intake valves located in Honda VTEC?
In the SOHC VTEC implementation (diagram on the right), Honda put a wild-cam lobe for the intake valves in the space between the two rocker arms. Note that the two exhaust rocker arms are separated by the two intake rocker arms and the “tunnel” for the sparkplug cable connector.

What kind of valve timing does a VTEC engine use?
The VTEC system provides the engine with valve timing optimized for both low and high RPM operations. In basic form, the single cam lobe and follower/rocker arm of a conventional engine is replaced with a locking multi-part rocker arm and two cam profiles: one optimized for low-RPM stability and fuel efficiency,…
What does VTEC stand for in automotive category?
For other uses, see VTEC (disambiguation). VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine, resulting in higher performance at high RPM, and lower fuel consumption at low RPM.
Which is the earliest implementation of VTEC-E?
The earliest VTEC-E implementation is a variation of SOHC VTEC which is used to increase combustion efficiency at low RPM while maintaining the mid range performance of non-vtec engines.
