Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control system

"if you open the throttle it can give the valves a longer duration and longer stroke providing maximum and efficient power and torque at all engine speeds"

every car company has some sort of VTEC, hondas was just the first, and most succesful. they all have some sort of weird abbreviation. good luck learning them.

i like the mivec better than vtec, but that may also be since i have never driven a honda other than the one i own, so there may be something wrong with mine i dont know.
