In order to set a stage for what follows, let's first revisit some of the fundamentals involved in how valve timing relates to power output. And to further clarify how "power" is defined in the ...

Once upon a time, picking a cam for a given engine combo was all about compromise: improve top-end power at the expense of low-end torque, run well at wide-open throttle but sacrifice idle stability ...

There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...

In addition to the core elements listed below, the new engines announced today incorporate other new and proprietary technologies. Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC)Aluminum ...

Engines are complex bits of machinery. At their core level, yes, it's easy to understand what is happening. Air and fuel enter the engine where they are ignited and combustion occurs resulting in ...

Among Honda's many technologies, none ranks as synonymous with the brand as VTEC. The company's unique, dynamically adjustable valvetrain is, in large part, what helped make '90s-era Civics and ...

While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...
