Does Honda still make VTEC?
Today Honda still makes VTEC engines, but given the growth of turbocharging and the fact that other automakers have been using their own forms of variable valve timing for many years, the feeling isn’t quite as special.
Is i-VTEC better than VTEC?
The performance variant allowed three cam lobes per cylinder for both intake and exhaust, whereas the economy i-VTEC system only possesses two lobes on the intake cam, and no VTEC control on the exhaust cam. The performance version resulted in an additional 40 horsepower in the K series engines.
What’s better VTEC or Turbo?
Turbo produces more torque and horsepower obviously while VTEC is more about pushing the maximum horsepower out of the engine since torque on VTEC cars can only be felt on VTEC range meaning anywhere after 5,500RPMs but yet the torque is still nothing compared with a turbo’s torque output.
How do I know what Honda engine I have?
Finding the Engine Model
To find the model number, look for a model number sticker on the engine. All Honda engines model numbers start with the letter “G,” such as “G100”, “GX610”, or “GXV160.” This is the base engine model. The engine model and serial number should be adequate for most of your needs.

This system is used in the Accord, Civic, Civic Si and Type R, and the CR-V. The V-6 engines in the Odyssey, Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline have variable lift and timing for the intake valves, and VTEC works with cylinder deactivation to operate in a three-cylinder mode.
Can you put a VTEC in any car?
Can You Put Vtec On Any Engine? The car will run just fine, but if you want it to work with vtec, you will need to wire it up directly to the ecu (plug underneath the battery box, almost directly at the ecu) or through the shock towers to make it appear OEM.
