I think I may have found a hidden gem in TH-cam. I've never subbed this fast before. your videos are short and straight to the point and also editing and music is awesome too!
Yeah ppl I so totally agree in nz we do have fast Honda's I have a 1994 domani b15b. You are very good at presenting the subject and the video flows well to 👍the k20 is a fantastic motor series even pushing past b series. Well done and keep the movie magic alive 😀
Excellent explanation great job.... I'm going to send all the guys with the V6 and V8s here so they can understand why my four-banger just whooped on em
I must say I never knew or care to know much about Toyota's version of it, but, this just gave me a simple example to understand the basic concept of it.
Devil HimSelf Thanks for the compliment. A correction. The acronyms below describe the same function. There is a low lift cam which transitions to a high lift cam (or vice versa): -VTEC = Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control -VVL = Variable Valve Lift IVTEC incorporates VTEC/VVT/VVL (same thing) and VTC (Variable Timing Control)/VVT (Variable Valve Timing)
GT Content thanks for the insight, btw that k24a2 is a great engine you have, my brother had a 04 tsx and it had 340xxx miles when he sold it with the proper maintenance they will never fail, as far as i know the guy who bought it hasn't had any problems.
Thank you for this video. It was very informative and I finally understand vtec. I'm more interested in big v8s or diesels but I have always been curious about this.
Thanks for that video it really explained something I've been wondering about for a while you certainty know your stuff and I hope you continue to share this knowledge with us
Im a truck guy... And i use to hate on hondas and thought vtec didint mean anything... But you gave me some good insites. I have a lot more respect for vtec now.
Frankcisco Monterrosa Not sure if you were confused. I have a dynochart at 1:00 comparing a non-VTEC vs VTEC engine. The transition to the higher cam lobe increased power in the higher rpms as well as increased the redline.
I love Japanese engineering. I'm thinking of getting a 2010 civic 1.8 with the i-vtec. I had a ford probe 2.0 with the Mazda unit and I currently have a 2008 mk4 mondeo 2.0 duratec again another Mazda unit with the camchain. it's currently done 164,000 miles and is still smooth and quiet. a lot of civic owners reporting good fuel economy with that 1.8 engine!
like wow do you explain everything perfectly whenever some people might not understand what you mean by that matter bud but how you explain things the average person can definitely understand what you are definitely saying
great video for understanding. I understand alot better. Had a friend dorm mate teach me what vtec vs VVT and it was hard af without any drawings or videos to do so. People that only talkg about it don't actually give much understanding other than what they know.
Hello, I am very grateful for your content and easy and useful clarification. Can I ask you about the Honda 3.5 engine? I have a Honda Accord V6 Coupe. How do I activate the VTech VT in order to make the most of my engine performance? Thank you.
I have the same K24a2 swapped into my FG2 :) except its from an '07 TSX, gonna turbo it soon with a GTX3076r god willing :), such a fun motor, perfect amount of torque for the FG2 (until I turbo it)
I have the same car and going to reflash it next week, 6k rpm is waaaay to high to be usable, especially in a manual like mine. Here in Europe it costs around 350-400 dollars to reflash, not that much for a 9-10hp gain up in the range and 30 hp gain in the mid-range. There is no way of telling that the car has been reflashed, no errors, no check engine, cruise control still works, etc...
Good info I am a diesel guy I watched a ricer wannabe thang. Lol kinda simple thank you and very very good job on the editing I wish I could edit like yiu
I am doing mechanical engineering but the concepts of japnese cars engines is far far better and ahead of time. German cars too have the great technology but they charge much more than that. That's why japnese rules the world.😊
FYI, your vtec cracks at 5,000rpm for lower engagement, 6,000rpm for upper. Basically, from 5000-6000rpm, you switch to high cams if you're on the throttle enough, and beyond 6000, you always switch to high cams.
first I had a honda civic ek4 1997. when the vtec came in, I was torn from the seat and felt a strong tear. fantastic!!! the noise also changed. the car and the muffler all original. now I have an accord 2007 2.4 tipes. and when the vtec comes in, there is almost nothing. no tearing, no noise, only slightly, but slightly increased. I could not try other tunings to see if it's normal. why? ;)
Bro, need a suggestion, i m planning to pick up 1st gen 2002 honda city, 1.5 Exi with decent engine in 2020 now, is it a good idea? Wat could be the worst case scenario i might end up facing?
Great video! I still have a question that has not been confirmed by any video I watched on this topic, The VTC, is it progressive? or lets say do you have various conditions or degrees of VTC? or is it a ON / OFF thing?
Thanks! To answer your question, the VTC is set for various degrees of operation. It's not an on and off thing. I'm more of a visual learner, so I'll make a video explaining this.
Great video!! I made a video of my Accord cl9 today which is same as the TSX but with the k24a3 engine! The k24a2 is stronger and has more torque! Could you please make a video that explains how to .ake the crossover kick louder and more noticable?! I really need a guide! That mmmBWAAAAAAAH! Drives me crazy yo! EDIT: the video i made today is about the vtec light indicator that i installed ^^
+Geo Gabri How to make VTEC crossover louder: -Install aftermarket intake -Install aftermarket exhaust system -Use tuner to set VTEC crossover for lower rpm for more VTEC sound
Geo Gabri you can buy aftermarket camshafts that have a more agressive profile on the vtec lobe. This will provide the biggest difference on the vtec engagement.
GT Content thanks a lot for answering! Since you are a Japanese guy and you have decent experience about Honda engines you are like golden source of knowledge to me! Will any CAI work the same or should i get a K&N/injen/DC sports? Unfortunately in Germany tuning products that are produced from other countries are illegal to be used here, there is a German brand called TSS which produces Honda tuning parts but i don't really feel like putting any German bolt ons to my Honda since i don't trust them TSS produces a CAI dor k24 engines which has a weird twister that spins but i don't think that's something really smart, also the last owner of my princess threw a new full exhaust system from FOX (german brand i guess) but the catalytic converter is stock and lastly i plan to reflash my ECU with the integra Type-R setup which kicks at 4.6k RPM, a friend of mine with same car reflashed and has CAI with stock exhaust, the vtec kicks in at 4.6k but there is no loud crossover but the sound of the engine goes NUTS when is in VTEC, thats really confusing me... a friend here on same comment section suggested to change camshafts, will that make any difference? If yes will i have to remap the ECU since vtec cam lobes will be bigger? And at last lets say if i add a CAI and get an RBC intake manifold and a throttle body from the k20a/a2 engine will that help at all? Sorry thats too much to answer i am a pain in the ass ^^ I hope you can find so.e ti.e to answer my questions, REALLY APRECIATE IT SIR! wish you the best! 😘🇯🇵🔰
Devil HimSelf thanks for the input buddy! Just a question, will that really work?! Do i have to change anything at all after installing the bigger lobe camshafts? Like... the timing maybe or remap my ECU to match or just replace the camshafts and start the car and i am good to go.?
Slow is what you think of it. I'd opt for something along the lines of dual cam and VTEC if you're looking for performance with potential for future upgrades.
No. I am not talking about future upgrades. Just a Civic that is fast enough like the older model. Let's see 1.6 (2010)? or maybe 1.8 (2015)? Are those any good?
This one? 1.8L R18Z1 i-VTEC SOHC I4, This should be the engine on 9th 1.8 civics right? I've done a lot of research but still need help to memorise all these engine codes :) Thanks for helping!
It's VTC on the SR20DET right? I do know for sure it's The part that makes SR engines sound like a diesel when they go bad 😀 Is VTC more like Toyota's VVT or is it more V-tecy? Is it the VTC on my stock S15 that activates more boost from the turbo, a system that was set in place for the S14a as well, but never worked? It's only a 0.1 boost increase, but I'll take everything that makes me faster. Hmm, now I must Google. thank you for the information.
The S14/S15 had Variable Timing Control (VTC) on the rear wheel drive SR20DET. Honda VTEC is like Toyota's VVTLi. Nissan also has "VTEC" which they call "Variable Valve Lift", but it's only available on their front wheel drive SR16VE, SR20VE, SR20VET.
So I have a stock 2015 Honda Civic LX with the VTech engine and a CVT tranny. Its my daily driver and I don't race. I don't ever remember seeing my RPM gauge ever going above 4,000. Does this mean I have never engaged the secondary cam lobe? Does that mean I have never used the VTech feature?
Nick V The VTEC on your engine (R18) is actually different. It has a standard lobe and switches over to a smaller (fuel economy) lobe. In a sense you are always driving in VTEC and then it engages to the fuel saving cam lobe.
GT Content so the engineers can plan for an economy car for the parents and a q-shop that the son understands but points out great fuel economy when the family is in the showroom. I drive a ‘91 Civic 2WD wagon with 16V SOHC. It certainly has no pickup outside of first gear LOL.
Hey buddy plz help my 2009 Accord EX-L i4 has been getting a bad noise on cold starts for 1-2 seconds. I did some research the VTC actuator is bad. Do you know anything about this? Thank you
+Michael Broski If the VTC actuator is bad, then it'll need to be replaced. I'd suggest doing an oil change first as there may be gunk in the oil causing it to malfunction (Use some kind of oil additive that'll break down gunk) and then see if the problem persists before replacing the VTC.
GT Content I'll do an oil change any suggestion on additive? I've only ran Mobil 1. Changed every 5k many times before even the service monitor even suggests. I take great care of this car. Sometimes even better than my M3 tbh
The best explanation of VTEC and VTC ever! Way better explained than Engineering Explained
agree
I just discovered your channel, and loved it! your a smart man, lots of good videos. u remind me of zygrene. subscribed!
John Connor Thanks! not sure who Zygrene is, but hope the person is awesome! lol
Thanks again!
I think I may have found a hidden gem in TH-cam. I've never subbed this fast before. your videos are short and straight to the point and also editing and music is awesome too!
DIOcelot Thanks! I plan to bring out more great content!
i was honestly thinking the same thing, its like engineering explained but not boring
DIOcelot I
Yeah ppl I so totally agree in nz we do have fast Honda's I have a 1994 domani b15b. You are very good at presenting the subject and the video flows well to 👍the k20 is a fantastic motor series even pushing past b series. Well done and keep the movie magic alive 😀
DIOcelot that's how it should a been bro! Cut out the bullshit but yet to the point
Excellent explanation great job.... I'm going to send all the guys with the V6 and V8s here so they can understand why my four-banger just whooped on em
Fo Sho! lol
I'm laughing at E=MC square = Vtec 😂😂😂
🤣
I literally watching Dr stone rn 😂😂
Now i know how vtec perform thanks for the video sir
You're welcome
Nice video mate, simple and well explained !
Well done :)
Love from an k20a2 swapped em2 coupe 😎
I must say I never knew or care to know much about Toyota's version of it, but, this just gave me a simple example to understand the basic concept of it.
Very informative. All this time I thought Honda's VTEC is a type of VVT. Thanks for this. Keep it up.
You're welcome.
new i-vtec combining both VTEC & VVT
IVTEC is vvt and vvl combined. Vtec is just vvl. Great videos man. Quality creative content!
Devil HimSelf Thanks for the compliment.
A correction. The acronyms below describe the same function. There is a low lift cam which transitions to a high lift cam (or vice versa):
-VTEC = Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
-VVL = Variable Valve Lift
IVTEC incorporates VTEC/VVT/VVL (same thing) and VTC (Variable Timing Control)/VVT (Variable Valve Timing)
GT Content thanks for the insight, btw that k24a2 is a great engine you have, my brother had a 04 tsx and it had 340xxx miles when he sold it with the proper maintenance they will never fail, as far as i know the guy who bought it hasn't had any problems.
Devil HimSelf I agree. It's a great engine and has been reliable. No complaints.
GT Content Can you modify 2018 Toyota Camry naturally asperated engine to V-TEC? Just a newbie.
No
Avec ce tutoriel, j'ai enfin compris comment fonctionner les moteurs vtec, bravo et merci 👌
You're welcome👍
Very informative by comparing old school to new ...easy to visually understand...thank you for the tutorial sir
Thank you for this video. It was very informative and I finally understand vtec. I'm more interested in big v8s or diesels but I have always been curious about this.

Im a truck guy... And i use to hate on hondas and thought vtec didint mean anything... But you gave me some good insites. I have a lot more respect for vtec now.
Glad to have helped.
What is VTEC? It is the thing which makes me every day happy!
me too!! :-)

Good stuff, well put and to the point. Learned something today👍
You're welcome.
Thanks for clarifying A lot of people out there think that they get more power and they can smoke any car out there just because they have Vtec
Frankcisco Monterrosa Not sure if you were confused. I have a dynochart at 1:00 comparing a non-VTEC vs VTEC engine. The transition to the higher cam lobe increased power in the higher rpms as well as increased the redline.

how about mitsubishi's mivec? is it the same as how vtec works?
So how is a porsche different? Is one superior to the other?
the toyota 2zz-ge VVTLI from last Celica have both technologies?
does the 2014 honda civic have vtech or is it dohc with vtech technology?
Good stuff here

What about a '99 Civic Coupe, has great VTEC engine sound, have you heard B16A engine?
Heard them all even the LSVTECs of the past.
So I should just keep my rsx base VTEC the way it is...will I still be called a ricer if I just do the look of my dc5?
Mikie Lee if you mod it properly your a tuner if you don't then you bought your shit at Walmart and you're a ricer
my v tec kick in 5000 rpm. i bought it used. honda prelude 1998. is it like that or aftermarket?
