What is Vtec?
1.
VTEC=Variable timing and lift electronic control.
By changing the variable timing and lift these engines can perform better than it's normal non-VTEC cousins. More horsepower, torque, revolutions per minute and so on.
2.
VTEC - Variable Valve timing and Lift Electronic Control and is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to have multiple camshafts. VTEC engines have an extra intake cam with its own rocker, which follows this cam. The profile on this cam keeps the intake valve open longer than the other cam profile. At low engine speeds, this rocker is not connected to any valves. At high engine speeds, a piston locks the extra rocker to the two rockers that control the two intake valves.
Honda has VTEC to increase efficiency not increase performance.

the thing that always kicks in, yo!
vtec just kicked in, yo!

Variable valve Timing and lift Electronic Control.
engine's powerbands are limited to their cam lobe profile, by using multiple cam profiles, honda's VTEC system enables a much larger powerband. Not to be confused with VTECH electronics.
"Using mad 3rd gear vtec, I was able to pass the del sol.
5.
A term for Honda's valve timing system on most of their cars. Unfortunatly, it does not kick in until higher RPMs, thereby essetially doing nothing for acceleration. It's a poor excuse for losers in drag races.
I forgot to turn on my VTEC. *switches on foglights*

variable valve timing and lift control. several other car companies use the same thing but with different acronims:
Honda: vtec
Nissan: VVL
Ford: VTC.
ect.
even though they are essentialy the same, each one dose have it's flaws for example:
vtec has very little torque.
VVL parts are rare and hard to come by.
VTC only works on the intake cam.
Honda guy: yeah i got more power cause i gots vtec.
nissan guy: *coughs* no torque *coughs*
ford guy: you know he's right
Honda and Nissan guy: shut up, you car doesn't even run.

VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. By having two or more camshaft profiles, low-end torque, and top-end horsepower can be realized. It was first featured in the 1992 Acura NSX and 1992 Honda Prelude VTEC. It was later made famous by the popular Fast N Furious Movie when the Korean guy w/ the S2000 won the Jetta 1.8T.
VTEC just kicked in yo!
