what is a v tech engine in a honda accord and what is the horse power on a 4 cylinder v tech?

Answer 1

VTEC engines mean they are variable valve timing with electronic lift control. Today's 2.4 litre 4 cylinder vtec engines in the Accord are 166 horsepower. The Honda Accord's 3.0 litre vtec now gets about 244 hp.

The 1.8 litre v-tec for instance in the civic is 140 horsepower. But the 2.0 litre v-tec in the civic si is 197 hp.

There are also I-VTEC engines, intelligent variable valve timing with electronic lift control that give improved performance and fuel economy.

Answer 2

Depends on which model of Honda Accord. Based on the JDM Accord Euro R or the USDM Acura TSX, this platform runs on a 2 litre i-VTEC engine. 220HP for the JDM version. Not sure for USDM version. It is the same engine as the JDM Integra Type R. To my knowledge, the USDM Acura RSX which uses the same chassis also uses the 2 litre i-VTEC but produces 160HP.

i-VTEC incorporates VVT with VTEC. VVT is almost identical to Toyota's VVT-i. It gives you variable cam timing depends on engine load & speed while VTEC gives you a secondary cam profile after a certain engine speed (normally around 5000 to 5500rpm) to achieve higher max speed due to the increased valve lift & overlap timing created by the secondary cam profile. VVT stands for Variable Valve Timing. VTEC stands for Variable Timing & Lift Electronic Control.

The K-series i-VTEC engines is a technology breakthrough in addition to their highly successful B-series DOHC VTEC engines. I think Honda got it's ideas from the BMW VANOS & Valvetronic system. Base on a normal aspirated engine, it's capacity to power ratio is certainly very good without compromising the fuel consumption. A 220 HP 2 litre i-VTEC engine's fuel consumption rate is 13km/litre. While a 160HP version of the 2 llitre i-VTEC can achieve an impressive figure of 16km/litre.

The only problem with Honda is their transmission system. Most of their cars are front wheel driven less their S2000, which is rear wheel driven. But the new Legend comes with their new Super-Handling 4WD system which serves as a competition to Mitsubishi's Electronic 4WD system. The Honda 4WD system consist of electronically controlled centre & rear differiential system which is almost similar to Mitsubishi's Active Central Differential System & the Active Yaw Control System.

Answer 3

To vague Year make model first ? Vtec is advertizing lingo for variable valve timing. With the I means variable lift too. Honda four cyl engines from the 1.6 liter 100hp 2.2 liter 130hp all the way up to the S-200 with over 240 horsepower.

Answer 4

The vtec engine in Del Sols were rated at 160 hp.

Answer 5

The horsepower of cars in the Honda line depends on what year the car was produced. Honda has increased the horsepower in its engines over the years.

Answer 6

even with vtec, hondas in general are very slow and sub 200hp cars. which=slow

Answer 7

depends on what model... maybe h22 or h23
