VTEC is a technology used by Honda in their engines to improve fuel efficiency and performance. The company offers a range of automobiles powered by VTEC engines, including cars, motorcycles, and power equipment.
VTEC technology was first introduced by Honda in 1989 with the introduction of the Acura Integra
The first VTEC engine was a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that produced 158 horsepower
Honda expanded the technology to other models, including the Civic and Prelude, in the early 1990s
The company has continued to refine and improve the technology, including introducing VTEC-E for increased fuel efficiency
VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. It modifies the camshaft profile based on engine speed and load to optimize fuel efficiency and performance.
Most Honda models, including the Civic, Accord, and CR-V, are equipped with VTEC engines.
VTEC technology can improve fuel efficiency, increase horsepower and torque output, and reduce emissions
VTEC engines are designed to improve power and efficiency without the use of a turbocharger, which can add complexity and cost.
VTEC-E is a more fuel-efficient version of VTEC technology that uses low-lift cam lobes to improve efficiency at lower engine speeds.
