Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of VTEC. But what is VTEC, and what does it do? How is it any different than iVTEC? Well, first you need to understand what VTEC is.

Did you learn something new? Got anything you want to add? Let’s hear it 👇🏻
I didn't know what ivtec was and happily surprised it's got vtc 😁 some nice animation demonstrating your points would be good but I understand they can be tricky to make 😁
My 2006 Honda Pilot is labeled as i-vtec but it does not have vtc. Just VCM. I think it’s really confusing that Honda did this
You look like a teacher i know soon much
I wanna know about ej ek eh and some nore of this civic family
NO
Now I know how my grandmother feels when I explain something high tech to her.
🤣🤣🤣
It's not complicated at all

*iVTEC was made by Apple*
*Your comment describes perfectly the side effects of smoking too much weed*
That must have been why it was missing a headphone jack.
Great job man
Nope, Honda since the Japanese make quality products.
Apple is an american company that makes shit.
Do you see the difference? Maybe you don't since you are using an apple piece of shit right now reading this very sentence 🖕.
nads mcgee: I can see that you are an uneducated person, my friend. Allow me to drop you off at school, so you can learn the purpose of a joke, and maybe understand humour. :D
I'm not a fan of Apple at all, and I've never owned their products, so I don't get what you're barking at, m8-
Great video. Really well explained. I had the 1.5 vtec-e engine in an EK3 civic. What an engine that was! 70mph in second gear. Really long gear ratios. Had it 5 years and only spent money on service items. Bullet proof. But the rear arches were prone to bad corrosion.
Ay I have that car with 27 thousand km on the clock
Is VTECe the same as 3 stage VTEC in JDM EK3?
@@DMX-du9mn no vtec-e is econo only economic mode and normal mode (like non-vtec engine) 3stage is econo+sportish vtec
My accord 7th Gen 2.4 ivtech Automatic from 2007 year has similar or same gearbox, after reflash it can reach even more than 70mph on 2nd gear. Brilliant car, superb engine. Love Honda
After 45 years in the auto industry and the happy owner of a Honda with a VTEC, I decided to watch and see if we agree. Indeed you presented a good basic explanation. As for the crappy comments below, we’ll it’s TH-cam, you’re going to have that. 😂😂😂
Lies. VTEC stands for Very Tall Engine Cooling.
Accurate.
Exactly
Holly
Exactly right
Lmao
Just a FYI: if you make VTEC run backwards, you go back in time. Try it, I'm from the future. Oh, don't buy the Play Station-15, it's complete garbage.
@@rixiv7868 your brain🙊
How was Xbox doing? Or how WILL it be doing?
how can you be from the future if you are already dead Mr Schrodinger ?
hows that cat of yours ?
Because there are three possible states that I could be possibly in: a living state, a dead state, and the combination of both being dead and alive. Thus, I am not one of the dead states. This is due because of the linear combinations of all solutions to my equation, The Schrodinger Equation (a partial differential equation). Even thou quantum mechanics dictates all solutions may exists, some solutions are very highly unlikely, in some cases, the probability is virtually 0 (like me being still alive)... however, it can not be 0. In other words, according to quantum mechanics, there are things that are impossible happening in the universe all the time. This is observed all the time at the molecular level, like bonds, spontaneously occurring within molecules, that aren't suppose to exists.
Furthermore, I have swag.
Brother you have earned yourself a fan... Really good explanation.... Keep up.... Deserves views in millions
Thanks 🙏🏻
Wait! Vtec will kick in and this vid will get millions of view
Excellent explanation. Bravo. i was wondering, so i started looking as i'm considering buying a used "Inspire" (aka "Accord" in the USA/Canada) over here in Japan. 10+ years old with low miles, so i wanted to see what the big deal was. You nailed it with this video. The best 6 minutes i've ever spent on learning about a motor and it's features. Very nicely done. i hope your channel grows like crazy so that i can learn more from you.
🙌🏻
Dude that comment is so nice. How's the Inspire? Still got it?
This was very helpful thank you! I just got a 2002 Acura rsx with ivtec and this really helped me understand it!
This was very very helpful I have a 2002 Acura rsx and I was thankful to learn the more complex way of how it worked!
I just read your article so I figure it’ll be easier for me to watch the video and understand since I’m newer to the car scene
Good Job!!
Good narration
Good length of video(short)
Comprehensive
I know nothing about cars but you explaining literally made it crystal clear
good explanation. thanks for that. i didnt need to know it but now i do and it clears up a question i had in the back of my mind since i drive a honda i-VTEC engine evey day.
Thanks for very clear explanation ... I learned a lot 👍
I just bought my first Honda. A 2008 Honda Fit with a 1.5L V-TEC engine. That thing has good power for being such a little engine and still gets 36.5 mpg running down interstate with the windows rolled down at 75 mph! Love this car.
Awesome
Roll up your windows and increase the mpg, rolling down affects the aerodynamic of the car and slows it down. It's been proven many times on TH-cam.
I had a 2.2l inline four honda f22 i got 21mpg but she was peppy
Very informative and just what I was looking for. Thank you
Thanks 🙏🏻
Excellent and clear explanation. Kudos. You have a new sub 😊
yes I learned the difference thank you it was great help,I may not have iVtec but I still love my B16A SiR.
I feel so much more intelligent and informed thanks man great tutorial
I always thought that V-TEC was when Brian raced Dom and made the mistake of granny shifting instead of double clutching, hit the NOS too early, blew his manifold, and then the floor of his car fell off. My mistake.
Except he was driving an ECLIPSE......
Lmao granny shifting. What's double clutching, how do u do it and what's it's purpose?
Danger to Manifold
Shut Up!
Slams Computer Closed
Chris C no dash when spelling Vtec
What the fuck do you mean "double clutching" when cars only have one clutch pedal? Quit acting like a smartass carguy when you clearly have to no clue what toure writing. Fuck off.
really nice video man! i loved it!
On top of i-VTEC, I believe the '06 TSX's stock cams are more aggressive than other k24a2s that were made in that generation for any Honda/Acura that used a k24a2
I've had 5 Hondas. B series, F series, D series, J series and H series. The VTEC kick in the H22 is the only one that feels like a slight kick in the ass. Sounds brutal too, much more pronounced than my B series sounded. Loud induction noise and it sounds like you took earplugs out when it hits. AEM intake and Magnaflow exhaust.
Uh no B series VTEC kicks harder than H series and I series kicks harder than both
Hondata bro; set that shit. Also I agree that B series hits harder than H series.
old comment but k24 crossover is loud with a tune and an intake and it had a kick when stock but useless
Have you ever driven the F20C? The VTEC kicks in so loud and physically pushes you back in your seat
@@mythik140 unfortunately not yet, I love the F20c
I love i-Vtec on my 2007 tsx stock K24a2 205hp. Fast 4 cylinder car for 2007. It keeps up with my brothers 13 Vw Gti which is 6 years newer, more aerodynamic an has a stock turbo.
Cool video! Learned something new, thanks!😁
nice video. it's very easy for me to understand. thank you.
The iVTEC doesn't have a headphone jack.
k.
lol

Run it with some pods
They come separately, with a price 10 times higher than their value😌
thanks! subscribed. i am trying to understand everything about honda engines. my 2008 exl 2.4 apparently has a different engine than the lx models, and is still running sweet at 152k (bought with 139k). i got lucky with this engine and car in general. of course, i don't put lot of miles on it--about 13k in three years. probably replace, when needed, with the 2.0 non turbo in a civic later model....
Very educational & helpful, much appreciated!✊🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Subscribed, great informative video.
Great explanation man. Understood completely
Thats was really well explained 👍
I actually know what the i vtec and vtec are, just wanted to see how cool is your video to subscribe ;)
Very well presented and thorough...thanks
Very informative! Thank you!
ep3 was the love of my car life💕
Very good video man actually could sit and listen and good shit to say keep it up
This guy needs more subscribers he really deserves it.
That was a pretty good explanation and something I've always wanted to know. I'm on my 3rd consecutive V-TEC engine and overall, my 5th consecutive OHC engine, starting with the previously owned vehicle: 1991 Honda Prelude Si, previously owned 1996 Acura Integra LS SE (5MT), my currently owned 2003 Acura CL-Type S 6MT, my previously owned 2010 Acura TL Tech SH-AWD 6MT (totaled in a collision), and my 2019 Acura TLX A-SPEC SH-AWD. My wife also owns a 2005 Hyandai Sonata V-6 that has a DOHC layout.
Update: In 2022, I purchased Her a new Acura ILX A-SPEC, which is equipped with a 2.4 liter DOHC naturally aspirated DFI I-4 engine; however, I’m not sure if whether it is a V-TECH or I V TECH configuration.
i wanna integra type R
Keep that 03 CL 6MT. That thing's a gem and super easy to work on without the problems the 5spd Automatics had!
@@kimblem.w9952 The car is about 500 miles from turning 250,000. I’ve had the flywheel & clutch replaced at the Acura dealership that I purchased the vehicle from in September of 2002. It now shifts like is once again new!
@@virgilwyatt4632As long you change oil at 6k miles and no rust that car will outlive many out there crap they are producing today.
@@The_Touring_Jedi That’s what I’m trying to do. It’s at the dealer right now for sudden onset, over-the-night lack of acceleration problems. Diagnosis: sudden failure of the catalytic converter. It been replaced twice before at the dealership but with recommended aftermarket ones. Cheaper but sometimes wonder if I should have went with the factory one. It was back in 2015, over $2000.00 without labor and additional parts. I believe it would have been a re-manufactured one too. Right now the dealer has me in a loaner 2024 blue Acura TLX A-SPEC with the SH-AWD package until my CL-Type S is repaired. I’m considering buying one so this a great way to evaluate it to help with that decision.
Explained beautifully 👍👍
Great information but you did not include how with i-vtec you have difference in VTEC engagement upon speed and throttle position.
Great and simple Explanation!
Reason why the K20a3 has has the “i” in i-VTEC is because it still combines vtec with vtc just like the k20a2. Even if it’s just for economy, it still has vtec on the intake side and not the exhaust side. i does stand for “intelligent”.
thank you for the explanation. It helps me.
Ivtec is more energy efficient than vtec.
Superb explaination, thank you
Awesome video (thumbs up and subscribed) altough i'm a little confused about my Honda Element, is the engine built for fuel efficiency or performance? (Vtec and vtc)
I always watch this video. Love it. Thanks for a good content 😊
Clear explanation!! Wow!! Thanks.
Good explanation. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Great Video. You did a great job.
Very informative..good job.
I'm surprised not all the bikes have VTEC now even though that's where it started. I have a Honda VTX 1800. It's definitely, like all Honda's, smooths out in higher RPMs but I could use some smoothness at lower RPMs.
Great explanation
Hi, can you also do a MIVEC explanation for Mitsubishi and a VVT explanation for Toyota engines? And perhaps a comparison in performance for all 3?
I just bought a 2005 Honda Accord EX-L coupe, with 5 speed manual, which is a 2.4L Ivtec
Seems fast for a 4 banger. Not at all disappointed on my purchase.
Oh shit did IVTEC Just kick in ?
Dope. I got a 2008 Honda Civic with iVTEC. 5 speed manual.
nicely explained. thank you.
Good explanation! Thanks
Can you get more aggressive vtec depending on the type of Honda? Are are they all of a similar power?
So i just wanted to comment this to see if i'm wrong or not. If any of you can correct me, thanks!
Honda also has I-VTEC in their R-Series engines and the J-Series engines, which also operate differently.
The first one operates in a reverse fashion, using a modified SOHC VTEC that has 1 small cam and 2 big ones. The small one activates with VTEC, which is also activates from low to mid RPMs.
The J-Series uses VCM (variable cylinder management) to make an engine run on more or less cylinders depending on it's needs.
Really good explanation
Thanks 🙏🏻
@@musashi3224 I thought I was the only one thinking that.
What if you get a Vtech-E engine with the VTC could you just swap out the stock cam with a high performance one to get the power of a K20?
Great video. Do you know which over engines have Vtec-e and Vtc?
Nice explanation, thumbs up
Great video bud, well said. I bought a used 2015 Honda cr-v LX 2wd back in March of this year with only 35,000 miles. My question is that I feel this vibration coming from the engine compartment and you'll see the passenger seat shake a little and me personally, I don't have a problem with it but I've heard stories that what's causing this is coming from the crank or something to do with the connecting rods not being balanced. Now that worried me because I built engines and that is not good. Have you heard about this with these engines? If you know anything about this or if ya could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thank you for your video and take care sir.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Well elucidated. Thanks, pal.
Hey brother Question-I have a 2002 Honda CR-V but it’s really bad on fuel so am wondering what’s the reason for that and is there something can be done about it.
I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey with 3.5 Liter V6 I-VTEC (242 Horsepower) with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM Version 1). Would be interesting if you made a video about how this engine works with both I-VTEC and VCM.
Racing on a Honday Odyssey ? 😂🏎💨💨
I have one with dream technology 2019. Is that i v-tech?
You mentioned but did not explain valve overlap and how it pertains to VTC and/cam phasing. I understand keeping it simple but it’s a pretty key element of the system
i still love the original Integra type R engine back in 1997
i hope i have that car
most of people said thats the best integra, like crx for civic
My 2006 Honda Pilot is labeled as i-vtec but it does not have vtc. Just VCM. I think it’s really confusing that Honda did this
Crystal Clear explanation!
I just came here to see how many people have no clue of what they are talking about
Sup..Boss?
@@MechaTronic161 Just internet chillen
I'm only here cuz I'm waiting for more uploads from YOU bro! 😏
Expensive and still slow
Is that a focus/fiesta st as your desktop? If so nice I daily a Fost ST3 in Yellow, big turbo this summer!
You know your stuff man. How long can my 8th gen R18 last if I baby her? I just want to put a throttle body spacer and an a CAI on her for a little more excitement and that growl sound 🤔
Nice video, you forgot to mention vtec was used on Honda VFR motorcycles too.
I love the video but I'm still in the dark on a few things. Looking for more specs or reviews on my 2020 K20C2 I-VTECH motor. With a CVT transmission.
Hi friend. Should I buy the hrv with idtec or ivtec engine? Has a lot sound from the engine inside the cabin? Both cars about 2017.
You mention the k20a2 and the a3 but shag about the k20a6 that my accord has. How does that engine use the different systems? Thanks!
Found some info long time ago, that i could put a vtec cylinder head from a F18B2 and bolt down on my slow F18A3 ( SOHC 16v) as for now..the valves has to be adjusted manually to maintain optimal. So it`s the electronic part that is going to be tricky?? The engine blocks it self seems to be exactly same. What modification has to be done in order to get this to work? I get about +20 hp more.
Excellent video.
Well done sir
vw passat 3b 1.8 liter non turbo has dual intake runners so it switch from low end power to high end power :)
Whats better in the older engines: vvt-i or vtec? Like the originals. Between those two which are the best
Been in a b16a2 hatch with fbo VTEC cross over was very loud ! Then again i been in a k20a2 type s , k24 Si . i vtec wasnt as loud. a b16 fbo sounds like it was screaming at you at cross over ! I vtec isnt that loud on cross over but for some reason cross over seems to be alot smoother but sounds clean at the same time . its basically the newer version of VTEC lol
Hi! i have a honda crv 2003 model ivtec, and its consume gas so high. i would really appreciate any help or suggestions to improve my fuel economy. and may i ask what parts or conversion to make for my crv ivtec more fuel economy. tnx and more power to ur channel.
Great video man
Thanks!
no problem :)
I seen a video on mighty car mods where they put a B16B Vtec engine into a JCM mini cooper and it out performed a turbo mini with stock engine performance tuned
Now put a turbo kit on that B16 and you will be beating some super cars 😁
Mini Cooper body and engine with supercharger is designed for track, consistent output power with good handling. That B16 has a better power curve and design for that straight line power
Was that a direct swap or did they had to do some mods to the engine bay to make it fit? 🤔
K20a3 only have cam phasing. K20a2 have both cam phasing and variable valve timing. Same with the K24a4 2003 Accord have cam phasing only and the K24a2 2006 TSX have both cam phasing and variable valve timing.
K20a3 has VTEC on the intake valves only and VTC. Where as the k20a2 has VTEC on both valves and VTC. I have an a3. It came out of the ep3 civic
What about the k24a8 in the 30th anniversary accord (06 to 07
Lol cam phasing is VVT... lift is Vtec
what about a K20z3 ?
@@jamesdickson7173 Intake and Exhaust lobes
Very informative 👌👌👍
Nice video, but you don't tell us the SPECIFIC Honda models these VTECH Variants were used in especially models available in the US. it would be really useful if you had added this list of Honda Models and years, to your "description"... You could still do this! ... Thanks.
So I just bought a 2007 Honda Civic coupe it redlines out at 8k rpm may be a noob question but can I hit vtec in second or even first and will it damage my engine to hit high rpm in low gears ?
So I was recently had my oil changes at my local Honda dealership. With my bill, printed on the recommendation page was needing to have my Vtech checked and service. I came here because I really didn't know what the Vtech was and what it did. The dealership fee was about $390 , is this a fair price? Your video really explained it to me in great detail. Thanks for sharing.
What?
Lmao “yo we need 400 bucks to check ur vtec dawg”
I vtech first introduced in the r18 motor has economy cams and high performance camshaft that work at different RPMs to deliver fuel economy or high performance 4 of 1.8 liter naturally aspirated motor
R18 only has economy and normal cam lobes, not really a performance mode
In case of the vtec/vtc vs vtec-e/vtc how about the r20a3? Found in honda accord cu1 or some honda suv's. Its also i-vtec 156hp and abou just as vast a the k20a engine in the previous model
I have an iVTEC K24a1. So that would be a VTEC and VTC motor, not a VTEC-E motor? Correct?
can you do a video on nissans vvel would be interesting to compare to vtec
My 09 si with the 2.0 liter i-vtec engine still going strong with almost 180k miles on it =)
Yeah,.... well my 95 Del Sol has 330,000 miles and it's going stronger than ever... I did a lot of work to it, but still. It's Awesome! :)
