Are VTEC engines fast?
When VTEC kicks in, you can hear how much more air the engine is pulling in, and the power difference is very palpable. It goes from being slightly faster than an average economy car to something that is pretty quick and responsive. It does not feel quite like a turbocharger.
What’s better I VTEC or VTEC?
i-VTEC (intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) was introduced in 2002 to the North American market.

What engine does Honda use for VTEC?
DOHC VTEC is the implementation producing the highest-powered engines and used in the highest performing models in the Honda line-up. The smallest DOHC VTEC engine is the legendary B16A. A 1595cc 160-170ps engine that first appeared in the 1989 Honda Integra XSi and RSi, it now powers the famous Civic SiR models.
What is the difference between a VTEC and SOHC engine?
When in VTEC, since the “normal” cam lobe has the same timing and lift as the intake cam lobes of the SOHC non-VTEC engines, both engines have identical performance in the upper powerband assuming everything else is the same. This variant of the VTEC-E is used in some D-series engines.
What is the i-VTEC system in the R-series?
The i-VTEC system in the R-Series engine uses a modified SOHC VTEC system consisting of one small and two large lobes. The large lobes operate the intake valves directly while the small lobe is engaged during VTEC.
