A Honda K24A Engine with i-VTEC. VTEC (described as Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control, but stands for Valve Timing Electronically Controlled) 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.
Alfa Romeo was the first manufacturer to use a variable valve timing system in production cars (US Patent 4,231,330). [10] The fuel injected models of the 1980 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000 had a mechanical VVT system. The system was engineered by Ing Giampaolo Garcea in the 1970s. [11] All Alfa Romeo Spider models from 1983 onward used electronic VVT ...
Alfa Romeo was the first manufacturer to use a variable valve timing system in production cars (US Patent 4,231,330). The 1980 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 L had a mechanical VVT system in SPICA fuel injected cars sold in the US. Later this was also used in the 1983 Alfetta 2.0 Quadrifoglio Oro models as well as other cars.
Three-stage VTEC is a multi-stage implementation of Honda's VTEC and VTEC-E (colloquially known as dual VTEC) technology, implemented in some of the company's D series engines from 1995 to the present day, allowing the engine to achieve both fuel efficiency and power. VTEC-E (for "Efficiency") is a form of VTEC that closes off one intake valve ...
VTEC variable valve timing is used on almost all applications, with exceptions being the J30AC and J35Y8 (which use Variable Timing Control [VTC] instead). One unique feature of some J-family engine models is Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system.
There are many approaches to buying a new -- or new to you -- car. Some people prefer to plan carefully, researching makes and models well in advance, giving heavy credence to reviews. Others ...
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 ...
A new study says that intermittent fasting may slow hair growth via both human and animal models. ... is essential as well as assessing if timing and type of fasting (i.e. 8 or 12 hours or a day ...
