This is because it will have a race camshaft which opens the inlet valves very early, it may hold the inlet and exhuast valves open at the same time to improve chamber filling using the negative pressure in the exhaust (i.e. scavange it's inlet plenum) and it will keep the valves open for as long as possible to let the maximum about of air / fuel mixture into the cylinders.

Some engines are designed to open each intake valve at a slightly different time, which increases turbulence, improving the mixing of air and fuel at low engine speeds.

The precise timing, duration and extent to which these valves open significantly affects all aspects of engine performance — from power and torque to fuel economy and emissions.

This high rpm airflow is further enhanced by Variable Timing Control which incrementally advances the opening of intake valves as rpm rises.

-- Continuously variable valve timing, which adjusts the opening and closing of cylinder valves for more power and lower emissions.

Whereas traditional VTEC operation changes valve opening duration based on higher oil pressure during high rpm operation at one side of the valvetrain's rocker arms, the Civic's i - VTEC system can switch valve timing duration at low rpm and low oil pressure using two hydraulic actuators on both sides of the intake rocker arm.

The additional power comes courtesy of Honda's variable valve timing system, a setup that changes the time and duration the valves stay open in order to maximize fuel efficiency and performance.

In the Smart Stream G 1.6 turbo engine, the opening and closing of the cylinder valve is timed to best respond to various driving modes, such as eco-driving or dynamic driving.

The valves always open at the just the right time, in line with the current driving situation, thus substantially improving the gas cycle in the combustion chambers and reducing the amount of lost energy.

In order to achieve the optimum volumetric efficiency in the lower portion of the engine's operating range, rocker arms are programmed to follow cam lobes that provide low lift and reduced duration (shorter time open with less valve lift).

The use of AVCS contributes to higher power output, while fuel economy is also achieved by improving combustion efficiency through the optimized timing of valve openings and closings.

Since due to camshaft timing each power stroke lasts approximately 120 degrees [ending when the exhaust valve opens], this means that there is a very short period of about 24 degrees when the crankshaft receives no torque.

This engine, first introduced on the NX crossover vehicle, features a number of innovative technologies including Variable Valve Timing - intelligent Wide (VVT - iW) that allows the engine to switch between Otto and Atkinson cycles by varying the intake - valve opening angles, and the D - 4ST direct injection syValve Timing - intelligent Wide (VVT - iW) that allows the engine to switch between Otto and Atkinson cycles by varying the intake - valve opening angles, and the D - 4ST direct injection syvalve opening angles, and the D - 4ST direct injection system.

The FX35 is available in two drivetrains, the RWD and the AWD, which are both fitted to a dual overhead cam 3.5 - liter 24 - valve V6 VQ35DE gasoline engine, with aluminum - alloy block and heads, electronically controlled throttle system, and low - friction molybdenum - coated pistons that makes use of the continuous variable valve timing which in part optimizes the opening of intake valves.

Lift is the distance the valve travels from its seat when opened, and duration is the amount of time the valve remains open.

Compared with other gasoline engines, the intake valves of the 1.5 TSI ACT BlueMotion are open for a shorter time; the intake valves are closed during the intake stroke at a time when the piston still has a little way to travel and is moving further downward.
