My Mechanic Wanted To Know If My New Replacement Engine Has Vtec?

[nsta]

I think when he says vtec, he means nvcs, and its not standard in r33 gtr with rb26dett engines as far as im aware.....can someone please help, as im about to buy this new motor, direct swap as both are r33 gtr engines....is it going to be fine...

RB26's dont have NVCS

[Blitz]

And you say hes a Mechanic?

Even putting aside the elementary problem that no RB26 ever had cam adjustment it is quite scary that an alleged mechanic either doesn't know or can't tell the difference between a VTEC & variable cam timing (NVCS, VVT etc etc)

VTEC actually changes the cam lobe the inlet valve is actuated from so you get (or can get) a change in duration, lift & phasing.

NVCS only gives you a change in phasing.

In any case the correct answer to your mechanic's question must surely have been "Yo".

And isnt vtec purely honda?

If a mechanic ever asked me if my skyline had vtec that would be a sign to turn and run.
