Thanks for sharing. Kind of gives me more insight to how the gen 2 pause-iVTEC works. Unlike the HCH we have 2 stages. Having said that it seems something funky is done at idle as it sounds like a singer sewing machine vs a 4 banger.
So instead of using different cam profiles and using different rocker arms,it just rotates the intake cam forward or backwards?
Anything stand out at you for performance? I notice it said 91 Ron fuel. Myself and a few Insight owners have doscovered better performance in non eco mode.

The super long duration intake cam is what makes this an Atkins cycle engine. |
