- 2. INTRODUCTION VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a valve train system developed by Honda improve the volumetric efficiency of a four stroke internal combustion engine . The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani. This was the first system of its kind.
- 3. HISTORY Originated from REV (Revolution-modulated valve control) introduced on the CRB400 in 1983 known as HYPER VTEC. The earliest VTEC-E implementation is a variation of SOHC VTEC. Its introduction in usage was to enhance the output power .
- 4. BASIC MECHANISMS The basic mechanism used by the vtec technology is hydraulically actuated pin. Pin reached to rocker arms. A spring mechanism used to return the pin back. Comprises of two camshaft lobes.
- 6. PRINCIPALS One of the cam lobes on the left hand have a wider profile , opens its valve earlier. For more time and close it later in compare to the other. The fuel is allowed to enter through one valve completely , while other valve opens partly.
- 7. VTEC CONTROLLER Basically a RPM activated. ECU used to switch cams to early/late.
- 8. SERIES OF VTEC ENGINES SOHC VTEC VTEC –E 3 STAGE VTEC I- VTEC K-series R-series
- 9. VTEC-E Vtec E implementation is for the economy. Uses swirling to promote more efficient air fuel mixing in engine chamber. Only one intake cam lobe used. Making engine to operate in 16 valve working mode.
- 10. I-VTEC The intake camshaft is now capable of advancing between 25 and 50 degrees. Phasing is implemented by a computer-controlled, oil- driven adjustable cam gear. I-VTEC V6 that includes Honda's cylinder deactivation technology.
- 11. VTEC IN MOTORCYCLES Firstly used in 2003 in sports bikes. One intake valve remains closed until a threshold of 7000 rpm is reached. Second valve is opened by an oil-pressure actuated pin. Uses a single camshaft to provide two timing routines for the intake .
- 12. ADVANTAGES Better fuel efficiency. High initial torque with relevant high power. Lower emission. Strong performance.
- 13. LIMITATIONS Higher cost of engine. More complex mechanism. Wear and Tear problems. Failed to overcome turbo charging. Decreased engine life.
- 14. FUTURE OF VTEC Implementation on performance engines. Better opportunities of higher petroleum prices. Consideration on its disadvantages gives improvement in it. Economy and satisfaction to be estimated.
