How VTEC® Turbo Engines Work

The VTEC® Turbo lineup uses a winning combination of technologies to achieve peak performance and efficiency:

  • Direct Injection: This technology allows fuel to be directly injected into the engine’s cylinders. Meanwhile, high tumble import ports help ensure that fuel is most efficiently burned. Together, these features decrease the temperature of the fuel and provide ideal conditions for the most efficient delivery of gasoline into the system.
  • Dual VTC for Intake and Exhaust: VTC, or Valve Timing Control, alters the intake and exhaust valve timing by mechanically controlling how long each of these valves stay open. The result is more efficient turbocharging, whether in low rev or high rev performance situations.
  • Turbocharging: Instead of lagging behind like turbochargers of old, the VTEC® turbocharging system is able to deliver pinpoint responsiveness with the help of small, turbine-operated electronic wastegates.
