Wow, OK I completely missed that then. I thought that was just a type of VVL?

Unless this is VVL?

VTEC too is just VVTL.

I need to come up with a meme-able acronym for Adenine’s VVL technology :laughing:

I’m going to have to do the same now, I’ve been using it on all of my engines without any branding!!

I’ve just simply been calling it VCT, which is literally just Valve Control Technology. Yeah, I know, you can’t do anything with that for branding, but it’s simple.

Already got one for mine. Wait for it. VTAC, Variable Valve Timing Automatic Control. Clearly not VTEC…

Me too, me too! I have the Cambiovalvole for Zavir :slight_smile: (BTW, am I the only one with a name for that, not some abbreviation?)

Wouldn’t be surprised, but it’s kinda like me and my damn transmission naming schemes. ShiftTronic and PowerShift seemed suitably '90’s, and just kinda carried forward their use because… Well, why not?

ShiftTronic sounds good , PowerShift make Storm Automotive look like a ricer company

It’s an automatic transmission. If someone brags about having one, they deserve to sound like a ricer.

meanwhile at GG, we don’t have any official names for our boxes or valvetrains. Given our dual clutch gearboxes have to tolerate up to 2000Nm, The Box should be sufficient. And since our valvetrains have to tolerate up to 10000rpm, I guess… The Cams would do for that too? :sweat_smile:

With CVT transmission now , fuel economy is increased by atleast 10% without sacrificing our fun to drive DNA

The only time fun and DNA are together are in the Adenines. Sorry Saminda :laughing:

CVT and Fun To Drive do not belong in the same sentence. I’m sorry on that one, but it’s true.

AFAIK unless it is some micro city car :slight_smile:
