From the reading it seems that this is another version of i-VTEC just for managing the active cylinders. So, it doesn't do anything more than a normal VTEC to increase the performance of the engine right?

Thx for the link Wizard. No mention of VTC. Hopefully the next TL will incorporate that in.

The "i" in "i-VTEC" is the VTC. It must have it?? Right??? I'm confused, no mention if this engine has twin cams or not, so far this has been a feature of all the i-VTEC engines. IMO I cannot see how you can have VTC without having a DOHC layout.

They used the "i" for the " i-DSI" engines which are a very, very simple two valve layout engines , however their "variability" is on the ignition side.
Now on this case (V6 engines) you can see clearly that is the same layout as the current engine -SOHC with no VTC - so in this case the "i" denotes the variability in switching "on" or "off" one bank of cylinders; that would be my educated guess.

If you to Honda website (www.honda.co.jp) there's a video on the new engine and from what I see it looks like a SOHC configutation. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And no ones's said it (i don't think) but that engine cover is goergeous looking.

VTEC + VTC = i-VTEC
All i-vtec engines have VTC, that is what the "i" is for. If the new 3.0L didn't have VTC it would be just plain VTEC.

I think you're speculating on this, they are not calling it i-VCM, or i-DSI, they're calling it i-VTEC. This denotes Variable Timing Control (VTC) in Hondaspeak. I wonder if they figured out a way to incorporate VTC in a SOHC engine? I don't see how they could do this since the 'vairablility' of the intake cam is relative to the exhaust cam???

If people can have a broader perspective, then eventually they will understand why I-vtec does not exclusively means VTC. Is pretty clear that honda did not mention any thiing about VTC on this J series motor. Altough the k series Ivtec denotes to VTC, cant i vtec be soemthing else for a other series motor?
even Vtec as a variaty of forms, so why cant the I (intellegnce) be in some other from?
