The first-generation single VANOS system adjusts the timing of the intake camshaft to one of two positions — e.g. the camshaft is advanced at certain engine speeds. [2] [3] VANOS was first introduced in 1992 on the BMW M50 engine used in 3 and 5 Series. In 1998 single infinitely variable VANOS was introduced on the BMW M62 V8 engine. [2]
For twin-cam or DOHC engines, VCT was used on either the intake or exhaust camshaft. (Engines that have VCT on both camshafts are now designated as Ti-VCT.↓) The use of variable camshaft timing on the exhaust camshaft is for improved emissions, and vehicles with VCT on the exhaust camshaft do not require exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) as retarding the exhaust cam timing achieves the same ...
An engine requires large amounts of air when operating at high speeds. However, the intake valves may close before enough air has entered each combustion chamber, reducing performance. On the other hand, if the camshaft keeps the valves open for longer periods of time, as with a racing cam, problems start to occur at the lower engine speeds.
The active valve control system (AVCS) is an automobile variable valve timing technology used by Subaru. It varies the timing of the valves by using hydraulic oil pressure to rotate the camshaft, known as "phasing", [1] in order to provide optimal valve timing for engine load conditions. The system is closed loop using the camshaft sensors ...
There have been two main versions of this engine. The first version made 187 hp (139 kW) and 145 lb⋅ft (197 N⋅m) torque. This engine was used by Nissan from 1997 to 2001. It is found in the Nissan Primera, Nissan Bluebird, and the Nissan Wingroad. The second variant of the SR20VE is found only in the 2001 and later P12 Nissan Primera.
The CR14DE also features Variable Valve Timing on the inlet camshaft. It was first used in the Nissan K12 Micra/March in March 2002, [ 2 ] then the Z11 Nissan Cube in October 2002 [ 3 ] in Japan and the European E11 Nissan Note in March 2006 [ 4 ] It replaced the similar Nissan CG engine .
The application of intake valve type roller rocker arm, which reduces the friction produced when the camshaft is running. The application of Dual VVT-i system, which adjusts timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts. Improved cylinder head design. Longer intake valve, which improves lower-end torque. [12] Compatible with E20 fuel (Dual VVT-iE ...
Manufacturer-specification timing belts may stretch at high rpm, [citation needed] retarding the cam and therefore the ignition. [12] Stronger aftermarket belts will not stretch and the timing is preserved. [13] When designing the timing belt, a wider belt increases its strength however a narrower belt reduces weight and friction. [14]
