What are VTEC and VVTi?

The real secret of developing efficient petrol engines is in the supply of air, the art which has been researched since the internal combustion engine was seen. The VTEC by Honda and VVTi by Toyota are important steps in achieving high efficient engines.

VTEC (Very Talented Engine Control) and VVTi (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) are similar in effect but differ in technology. VVTi engine features in Toyota Camry, Toyota Innova, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Prado and VTEC engine powers Honda Accord, Honda CR-V, Honda Civic, Honda City.

Honda’s VTEC:

Honda’s VTEC uses two sets of cam shaft profiles – one for low and mid range rpm and another for high rpm operation. An electronic switch shifts between the two profiles at a specific rpm to increase peak horsepower and improve torque. When you ride Honda’s car, you can both hear and feel the change when the ‘VTEC’ kicks in at higher rpm to improve performance. While this system does not offer continuously variable valve timing, it can make most of high rpm operation while still providing solid driveability at lower rpm levels.

Toyota’s VVTi:

Instead of on/off system that VTEC employs, Toyota’s VVTi employs a continuously variable system that maximizes valve timing throughout the revolution range using a hydraulic system rather than the mechanical system to alter the intake cam’s phasing

Honda’s VTEC Vs Toyota’s VVTi:

The main difference between VTEC and VVTi is that VVTi maintains the same cam profile and alters only when the valves open and close in relation to engine speed. Also, VVTi works only on the intake valve while Honda’s VTEC has two settings for the intake and exhaust valves, which makes for a more dramatic gain in peak power than VVTi can claim.

we don't need vtec..we make torque

I guess you have not had the fun a vtec v6. I wish my car had vtec I hate how it falls flat on its face near redline.

im not complaining about the power my car puts out..its the fastest car i have ever owned...i love it, rides soo smooth..was just wondering..thanks..

The Gen 1 Solara does not have VVT-I, but the gen 1.5 2.4L, and Gen 2 has the VVT-I.

I don't know whether the gen 1.5 3.0L Solara have the VVT-I or not.

actually i have...and driven/rode in plenty of 4 cyl vtecs that would walk all over most of us. Besides, i meant that as a joke

Go test drive a V6 w/ VTEC. Its awesome! I love VTEC Don't hate till you've tried it.

"tru3aznplayaz" - as "trd4life" asnwered your answer.
No from the factory the Gen 1 Solara's did not come wit VVT-i.
Now you can swap in a full V6 wit VVT-i, but you would need a VVT-i harness, and ECU.

no money...lol im happy the way it is...just want an intake for the sound..only mod i have is tein s.tecs

Grab the OBX intake for the sound it is about $80 and is much better than the generic ebay intake

Yes, it does.
