About: 3-stage VTEC

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Three-stage VTEC is a multi-stage implementation of Honda's VTEC and VTEC-E (colloquially known as dual VTEC) technology, implemented in some of the company's D series engines from 1995 to the present day, allowing the engine to achieve both fuel efficiency and power. VTEC-E (for "Efficiency") is a form of VTEC that closes off one intake valve at low RPMs to give good economy at low power levels, while "VTEC" is a mode that allows for greater power at high RPMs, while giving relatively efficient performance at "normal" operating speeds. "Three-stage VTEC" gives both types in one engine, at the cost of greater complexity and expense.
