The Honda i-VTEC® Engine
Are you ready to geek out on the power of car engines and what makes them tick? We’d like to introduce you to the Honda i-VTEC® engine! Honda’s original VTEC system was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani. It solved the problem of gaining high-end power out of small displacement engines while maintaining fuel-sipping efficiency during normal everyday driving. By altering the internal valve lift and timing, Kajitani was able to boost performance without an expensive (and high maintenance) addition of a turbocharger or supercharger.
