VTEC
is a system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric
efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine (i.e. improved economy).
The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and hydraulically selects between
profiles. It is distinctly different from standard VVT (variable valve timing)
which advances the valve timing only and does not change the camshaft profile
or valve lift in any way.
The VTEC
system provides the engine with valve timing optimized for both low and high
RPM operations. In basic form, the single barring shaft-lock of a conventional
engine is replaced with two profiles: one optimized for low-RPM stability and
fuel efficiency, and the other designed to maximize high-RPM power output. The
switching operation between the two cam lobes is controlled by the ECU which takes
account of engine oil pressure, engine temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed
and throttle position. Using these inputs, the ECU is programmed to switch from
the low lift to the high lift cam lobes when the conditions mean that engine
output will be improved. At the switch point a solenoid is actuated which
allows oil pressure from a spool valve to operate a locking pin which binds the
high RPM cam follower to the low RPM ones. From this point on, the valves open
and close according to the high-lift profile, which opens the valve further and
for a longer time. The switch-over point is variable, between a minimum and
maximum point, and is determined by engine load. The switch-down back from high
to low RPM cams is set to occur at a lower engine speed than the switch-up
(representing a hysteresis cycle) to avoid a situation in which the engine is
asked to operate continuously at or around the switch-over point.
The older
approach to timing adjustments is to produce a camshaft with a valve timing
profile that is better suited to low-RPM operation. The improvements in low-RPM
performance, which is where most street-driven automobiles operate a majority
of the time, occur in trade for a power and efficiency loss at higher RPM
ranges. Correspondingly, VTEC attempts to combine low-RPM fuel efficiency and
stability with high-RPM performance. During production only 25 VTEC motors per day were produced by hand.
DOHC
The dual overhead camshaft valve train layout is
characterized by two camshafts, one operating the intake valves and the other
one operating the exhaust valves. This design reduces valve train inertia more
than is the case with a single overhead camshaft engine. The design permits a
wider angle between intake and exhaust valves than do SOHC engines allowing for
a less restricted airflow at higher engine speeds. Last, the DOHC multivalve
design also allows for the optimum placement of the spark plug which, in turn, improves combustion efficiency.
