K-series
The K-Series motors have two different types of i-VTEC systems implemented. The first is for the performance motors like in the
RSX Type S or the
TSX and the other is for economy motors found in the
CR-V or
Accord. The performance i-VTEC system is basically the same as the DOHC VTEC system of the
B16A's; both intake and exhaust have 3 cam lobes per cylinder. However the valvetrain has the added benefit of roller rockers and
continuously variable intake cam timing. Performance i-VTEC is a combination of conventional DOHC VTEC with VTC.
This is why the powerband on a B series will NEVER be the same as a K.
