Honda J35A 3.5L V6 SOHC i-VTEC Variable Cylinder Management(VCM) Engine on 2008 Honda Inspire. Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is Honda's term for its variable displacement technology, which saves fuel by using the i-VTEC system to disable one bank of cylinders during specific driving conditions—for example, highway driving. The second ...
In 2006 Honda created the J30A5 to mark the 30th anniversary of the Accord. It boosted output to 244 hp (182 kW) ( SAE Net 08/04) and 211 lb⋅ft (286 N⋅m) (SAE Net 08/04) of torque. According to Honda, horsepower gains were achieved with improvements to the airflow of the intake and exhaust system.
In 1996, Honda reached an agreement with the EPA to extend the warranties and offer free services for 1.6 million 1995 Civics and 1996–1997 model year Acuras, Accords, Civics, Preludes, and Odysseys, because Honda had disabled an engine misfire monitoring device that would have otherwise directed drivers to seek repairs. Honda was required to ...
The Honda Accord Coupe concept car was unveiled at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. It previewed the production 2-door model with i-VTEC VCM V6 engine and Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure. [5] A hybrid version would no longer be offered, as Honda felt their "hybrid system works better on smaller cars". [6]
Active Fuel Management (formerly known as displacement on demand (DoD)) is a trademarked name for the automobile variable displacement technology from General Motors.It allows a V6 or V8 engine to "turn off" half of the cylinders under light-load conditions to improve fuel economy.
It is fuel injected, has an aluminum-alloy cylinder block and cylinder head, is a SOHC 16-valve design (four valves per cylinder) and utilizes Honda's i-VTEC system. The R series engine has a compression ratio of 10.5:1, features a " drive by wire " throttle system which is computer controlled to reduce pumping losses and create a smooth torque ...
The oldest engine technological predecessor for the variable-displacement engine is the hit and miss engine, developed in the late 19th century.These single-cylinder stationary engines had a centrifugal governor that cut the cylinder out of operation so long as the engine was operating above a set speed, typically by holding the exhaust valve open.
