The History Behind One Of Honda’s Best Inventions: VTEC

Honda’s Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) is arguably the most well-known engine type in the world. The essence of Honda’s VTEC system lies in its ingenious approach to valve control — it operates by altering the valve timing, lift, and duration, adapting to the engine’s RPM and load to optimize performance. At lower RPMs, VTEC prioritizes fuel efficiency and smooth operation, utilizing a cam profile that opens and closes the valves earlier. When the engine reaches higher RPMs, VTEC
