 BASIC MECHANISMS

 The basic mechanism used by the i-vtec technology is

hydraulically actuated pin.
 Pin reached to rocker arms.
 A spring mechanism used to return the pin back.
 Comprises of two camshaft lobes.
 PRINCIPALS
 One of the cam lobes on the left hand have a wider profile , opens its valve earlier.
 For more time and close it later in compare to the other.
 The fuel is allowed to enter through one valve completely , while other valve opens
partly.
WORKING
 This is done by running in a low speed valve timing and small cam
profile at low engine speeds for improved fuel consumption and leaner
fuel burning. On the other hand, when the engine needs more power a
higher output is achieved through the i-VTEC system by speeding up
the valve timing and switching to the larger cam profile which allows
for a further and longer valve opening time.
 i-VTEC CONTROLLER

■ Basically a RPM activated.

■ ECU used to switch cams to early/late.

 SERIES OF VTEC ENGINES

■ SOHC VTEC
■ VTEC –E
■ 3 STAGE VTEC
■ I- VTEC
■ K-series
■ R-series
 I-VTEC

■ The intake camshaft is now capable

of advancing between 25 and 50 degrees.
■ Phasing is implemented by a computer
controlled, oil-driven adjustable cam gear.
■ I-VTEC V6 that includes Honda's cylinder
deactivation technology
 i-VTEC IN MOTORCYCLES

■ Firstly used in 2003 in sports bikes.

■ One intake valve remains closed until a threshold of
■ 7000 rpm is reached.
■ Second valve is opened by an oil-pressure actuated pin.
■ Uses a single camshaft to provide two timing routines for the intake
■ HONDA CB400 SUPER FOUR ( In January 1999, valve control system for 4 STROKE
ENGINE, HYPER VTECH was announced).
 FUTURE OF i-VTEC

■ Implementation on performance engines.

■ Better opportunities of higher petroleum prices.
■ Consideration on its disadvantages gives improvement in it.
■ Economy and satisfaction to be estimated.
 ADVANTAGES

■ Better fuel efficiency.

■ High initial torque with relevant high power.
■ Lower emission.
■ Strong performance.
 LIMITATIONS

■ Higher cost of engine.

■ More complex mechanism.
■ Wear and Tear problems.
■ Failed to overcome turbo charging.
■ Decreased engine life.
