This Ti - VCT engine, delivering at least 280 horsepower and E85 compatibility, is mated to a unique six - speed automatic transmission that combines lowered initial gears for improved off - the - line acceleration and higher gearing for improved
efficiency at lower engine rpm when cruising.
Not exact matches
VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) is a system developed by Honda which was said to improve the volumetric
efficiency of a four - stroke internal combustion
engine, resulting in higher performance
at high
RPM, and
lower fuel consumption
at low RPM.
By operating the
engine at higher load and
at lower rpm, optimal
efficiency can be obtained.
The effective - compression ratio is less than 9:1
at low -
rpm speeds for good drivability and much higher
at high
engine speeds for increased
efficiency and power.
The system achieves more than 80 % cooling
efficiency with less than 2 psi (12 kPa) flow restriction
at peak power, contributing to the
engine's available torque production
at low rpm.
A
low - friction three - cylinder architecture that delivers naturally high torque
at low rpm An integrated exhaust manifold that improves fuel -
efficiency by helping the
engine reach optimal temperatures faster, and delivers torque more rapidly by minimizing the distance exhaust gasses travel between cylinders and turbocharger.
