You’ve seen VTEC on cars, but what does VTEC mean? VTEC has to do with the valves in your engine that help dictate airflow, horsepower and fuel consumption. This Science Garage gets into Cams, lobes, lifters and more before narrowing in on how VTEC works. Cars have single cams, overhead cams, dual overhead cams and even triple overhead cams to help them do their jobs. VTEC is a unique variable cam design that has changed the way we think of engines… get ready, because VTEC just kicked in!
Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

No you’re invited to his family reunions
The greatest joy in life can be found in buying a Honda built lawnmower, and sticking a V-TEC sticker on it for all the neighbors to see.
On a push mower!!!!
I should totally do this to my honda mower. Maybe throw a fart can on it too

If only they put vtec inside Honda mowers so the blades wouldn’t get bogged down when I go over a huge pile of dog shit.
I did not know vtec was this cool lol, it's actually impressive yet simple
He misses a very important part amd was wrong on a part. Vtecs middle bigger cam lobe simply kicked in at 5200 rpm regardless of if the pedal is all the way down or not and stays that way until rpms drop below 5200 rpms no other variables matter like this guy said. He said engine temp and oil pressure have to be at certain points too lol nope sorry bud I've tuned Honda engines with hondata for the last 10 years and the only thing that the ECU reads to click that pin in to use the higher lobe is simple that 5200 rpm point. Plus you can literally hear it when the new cam lobe is engaged
@@seekdiscomfort4746 great info! why is he talking about multiple parameters then, any idea?
@@seekdiscomfort4746 i have an ap1 s2k and its also interesting that the vtec has a protection mechanism when the engine is too cold which completely makes sense (shouldn't be romping on it when cold anyways) but just thought that was cool
@@seekdiscomfort4746 I own a FN2 Civic Type R with the K20z4 i-VTEC engine with some basic bolt-ons and a Hondata tune that has lowered VTEC engagement to around 4000 rpms from the stock 5600ish and you are wrong! If my throttle is less than 25-30 % depressed VTEC will not engage even if I go all the way to the 8600rpm limiter. Perhaps what you say is true in B,F or H series and not on the K series but that I do not know.
@@seekdiscomfort4746 with a hondata u can make vtec work at whatever RPMS the tunner decides.mine is also set by TPS. Soo I don't have to be @(5200) assume at TPS register the decided % of trottle it would kick.
“If a car has a personality on its cam shaft, a vtec has a personality disorder”

The sophistication of God Hand combined with Shingo' psychopathic tendency
~C O O L V I B R A T I O N S~
@@seekdiscomfort4746 am also a Honda tuner. Many Hondas under our belt at our dyno here. And your both right. While yes, if you set the high cam and vtec kicks in at 5200, then higher lobe is activated at 5200 BUT Vtec also has its own parameters. For example, you have to usually be at a minimum of 140*F coolant temperature that your engine needs to be at before Vtec can activate. When it comes to oil pressure, you cannot set Vtec to low or there won’t be enough oil pressure. So yes you can set Vtec to kick in at 5200 you also have to meet the parameters to safely be in high cam (engine temp and oil pressure). Obviously Once the car is started and warmed up it’s fine- it’s not like anybody is going WOT as soon as they start their car. But he isn’t wrong either.

VTEC to everyone: Very sophisticated speed increase.
VTEC to me: *VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
vtec doesnt increase speed, it increases efficiency
@@george64826 it does increase speed by giving the car more horsepower. Bro you just watched a video explaining vtec and still missed the point. its a fuel efficient car in the low end and has power in the top end, making it faster.
BRAAAAP BRAAAAP BRAP BRAP BRAP
More like, vvrooooooAAAAAAAAA
@@ConLLee Razvan is right, the engine could be just as powerful without vtec
There were many opportunities to say “MO POWA BABY”
BAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
He didn’t wanna take the shine off of James
And we he’d say it there was no powa in the power
you can't say "mo powa baby" about vtec, it just makes noise giving kids the impression of high performance, meanwhile barely hitting 60 horsepower at 10 billion rpm :-)

Best VTEC explanation on youtube. Clear and informative, funny edits and a super engaging presenter. Well done Donut Media!
V-Tec stands for
V - Who cares
T - About Acronym Meaning
E - All you need to know
C - This car is a fast boi
WAAAT
Yeahh👽
John M the thing about the 90's to 2000's Hondas was that they weren't really made to go fast, they were meant to handle well. That was the whole premise of the Type R Hondas. Stiffer roll bar, strut bars, lightened interior, and good suspension. Hondas weren't fast cars. They were fun cars.
WAAT just kicked in 😂
Correction for C:
This car is a SPEEDY SPEED Boi
(Haha Initial D)
Vtec in old 2003 Honda Odyssey: *exists*
Me when I was 16: *VROOOOOOOOOOM*
Dude!
It’s really true though! Those things are MINT
VTec in 2003 Honda Element....So fun....People hate me but this car got some good handles🤣
Yes! My02 as well lmaooo
HAHA I'm in line to get handed down a Honda Odyssey with broken power steering but at least *VTECH just kicked in yo!*
Nothing but respect for engineers who design these systems 👏🏾
I think you should add gratitude as well.
Not only that VTEC is both powerful and fuel efficient, but it also sounds so cool that it gave me an eargasm, Props to Ikuo Kajitani for making such a great engine
Still don't get the hate for vtec guys.
Does anyone else make a vtec as in, variable camshaft profile? I'm not talking just variable valve timing, but specifically variable camshaft profile.
Because all you people think your faster than a subaru
VVT on Toyota and VANOS on BMW
So Vanos has a variable camshaft profile like VTEC?

@@seekdiscomfort4746 Depends on the model and engine, as mine red lines at 6500, its Vtec and peak power comes on at 4k and watching the needle go from 4k to 6k in blink is fun.
I'm from Turkey, and watched a lot of vids about V-TEC in my language but, this was on another level. I get everything what I was searching for in this vid. Thx Donut!

@@seekdiscomfort4746Right on brotha.. He totally missed an opportunity in at least pointing out sohc vtecs like y8 or z6.. not to mention frankesteins like mini me D, B or K series
This a great explanation. What I like about it is he makes it simple and clear without getting too technical and boring. The visual illustrations were very helpful and interesting.
Donut educational videos are honestly amazing. I've learned a ton that I otherwise wouldn't because it doesn't click for me when I read it myself.
Please be patient, I have vtec

these videos have taught me more than any class could. i love the ani
animation and the consistency in the art. the explanations make sense. thank you
You should do a video on larger engines that shut off certain cylinders when you’re driving normally
Noah Peltier what you’re referring to is cylinder deactivation ;)

Just watched this episode again and wanted to take a minute to thank all of u at doughnut for putting out interesting Shows about something most of us all enjoy. Cars and car history.
You have helped educate a lot of people who have no clue about cars
And. Helped remind the rest of us why we love cars and car history. Keep up the good work. 😊
Amazing channel with lots of good info, I am new on the car world so you guys are really helping me out, thanksss
Great explanation. Basicly vtec is the drill sergeant that wakes you up with a loud shout and you start running really fast.
LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS!
I.... Am speed.
I forgot I was watching a vtec video for a minute there. Right when I started thinking to my self I know I didn't click on a camshaft video, what the hell am watching again,-Dude starts talking about vtec, -oh yeah that's right.
Yo Pappy vtec kicked in, yo
This was such a well done explanation, I love these videos please bring them back 😭
i love this channel never disappoints with the info
Einstein‘s theory of nothing can travel fastest than light was proved wrong when Vtec kicked in yo!

What's the science behind why cars have "New Car Smell"?
The "new car smell" is mostly adhesive fumes from the vehicle assembly.
TheFerrariKid its glue and plastic. i kinda hate it, every new car i buy i drive for like 2 months with the windows open, my head just hearts becouse of that smell.
Are you really confused on why that happens, have you ever owned anything new, everything has a "new" smell from production.
I work for a car manufacturer and I always smell the new car smell every day when I roll them off the production line.
Answer this
Back in the the mid 90s I had a 91 JDM integra xsi vtec sedan with a b16a engine, 2 engines in one. Loved this shit back then, timing was key when up shifting at the rev limit to keep vtec engaged. Tuning for these in NZ was still in its infancy, had done basic mods, full exhaust, extractors and air intake, but still a car to be reckoned with, with what we had lurking our streets back then. Cruising, someone pulls alongside wanting a race pop into 3rd revs touching 3500 to 3600 vtec engaged then GO! Instance power see ya! Just thinking about then puts a smile on my face from some fond memories yeah!
I never knew what VTEC was for 16 years. After watching this video a couple times I finally understand how it works. And it sounds so frickin cool.
VTEC=Very Tall Engine Coolant
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot i know that from a video about ricer craptalk compilations

Wasn't it "very long time cooling"??

This guy is cool he explains everything in detail making it easier to understand i wish i have a teacher like this lmao
YYYYOOOOOO you explain everything man, slow, and uncomplicated. I've learned alot from you!
So what you're telling me...is that VTEC....is basically like Normal Mode and Pursuit Mode??
GETUP AND GO now I'm gonna have the theme song all day. That's not a bad thing.
Not a bad thing at all. My job here is done!
Dammit it’s stuck in my head too

Very good vid.. Been doing this gor years. Designing cams for custom builds.. And this is very very informative video. And this will get the beginner mind in gear. Touching off on many styles amd reasons for cam types. Velocity acceleration and jerk values. Ovee lap periods etc
I'm not sure which TH-cam rabbit hole got me here, but I just watched my first video from this guy. I can already tell this is what I'll be doing for the next 2 hours.

But really they are really efficient on electricity and they get software updates that both increase power and give better efficiency, it's crazy
@@anthony64924 They are not really efficient on electricity. We have the inefficiency of the oil powerplant, then that of the transmission, then charge and discharge inefficiencies of the lithium ion batteries. This actually adds up to worse mpg than a petrol car (as in oil).
Energy-recovery in braking is a good idea and has been demonstrated to improve performance in F1, and obviously improves efficiency.

This is very well explained spiced with a fantastic humour
My sisters boyfriend had a Honda Prelude when i was just about 8 years old, at the time it was the most cool looking and wild sounding car to me.
When he pushed the pedal to the floor and the engine started roaring, it instantly put a smile on my face - and naturally my sister married the guy - now he has a 2008 Civic Type R - and when it revs, it almost puts a bigger smile on my face.
So... the engine block gets head?

Does anyone else make a vtec as in, variable camshaft profile? I'm not talking just variable valve timing, but specifically variable camshaft profile.
vtec cams has variable profile
Lol
VTEC, turbo lag without a turbo...
Edit: Holy shit, I forgot I made this comment, most likes I've ever had!
Far from that. Better cams only work for high revs. So best of both worlds
vtec: moh pawah babe
Instead of thinking of it as a boost, think of it as the engine becoming slower to save fuel when at low rpm.
More like permanent twin sequential supercharger

Already knew how VTEC worked, so I simply added a higher flow intake manifold to optimize pressing the pedal to the floor. Worked nicely while keeping 4 grand in my pocket and my engine life existing avoiding turbo power. With the high flow header and cat combo connected to a full catback, I'm satisfied.
