What is meant by dual VVT-i?
Their latest application is Dual VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligent) technology. The technology is a smarter ways that could make engine more efficient and more eco-friendly. The sistem is located on the cylinder head which is used as automatic time controller of the engine’s inlet and exhaust valves.
What is VVT-i and dual VVT-i?
Basically, single VVT-i means the engine has variable valve timing on the inlet cam only, whereas the dual VVT-i has variable timing on both the inlet and exhaust cams.
How does Toyota VVT-i engine work?
Optimum timing changes in accordance to the engine speed. The VVT-i engine increases low- and medium-speed torque by controlling, in advance, intake valve closing in the low- and medium-speed ranges. With an increase in engine speed, the timing for closing the intake valve is retarded to raise output.
Which is better i VTEC or VVT-i?
i-VTEC uses not only timing but also the lift aspect of the valves, while VVTi uses only the timing aspect. The technology that uses timing and lift aspect developed by Toyota is called VVTL-i and can be equated with that of i-VTEC of Honda.
How many cylinders is a dual VVT engine?
4-Cylinder
The VVT-i system varies the timing of the intake valves by adjusting the relationship between the camshaft drive and intake camshaft. This is a Toyota 4-Cylinder Gas Engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT-i) and Indirect Injection.
Is Toyota VVT-i like VTEC?
VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) is a similar system developed by Toyota and has several variants among which VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift intelligent system) is analogous to VTEC.
Is Variable Valve Timing the same as VTEC?
VTEC is a type of variable valve-timing system developed and used by Honda. It stands for Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control. Like most other variable-valve timing systems, VTEC varies oil pressure to shift between different cam profiles.
Which is better VVT-i or VTEC?
VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda that allows engines to achieve turbo level specific output without the bad fuel efficiency that turbocharging normally introduces….Comparison chart.
| VTEC | VVT-i | |

Can VVT cause hard start?
Yes, had this happen on a small Hyundai , same with a neighbour ! The VVT solenoid would not return fully to the idle position putting the timing off and causing a stall. The car could just about be started if you put your foot on the gas but would stall if you took it off.
