can i say, twin cam enjin still got room to improve efficiency at the xyz rpm? so they implement vvt
DOHC engine advantage over SOHC ..
bigger surface for each Valve..
separate control for intake and exhaust cam ..
relate it to the squeezing effect ...
Bigger surface u will have problem during low end .. air fuel mixture lazy to move into the combussion chamber ..
(macam u take LRT .. if non peak hour .. u relax and walk in .. peak hour .. u kepit sardin also wan forcce in)
Non peak hour --> U DUN SQUEEZE IT
Peak hour -> U SQUEEZE iT
DOHC due to the larger surface is avantage during the high rev .. more surface .. more air can go in .. where else SOHC already choke itself .. not enuf air and fuel ..
SOHC -> LRT 100 meter long .. but only one door open at 1 meter wide..
DOHC -> LRT 100 meter long .. but open 2 door at 2 meter wide ..
so during peak hour .. u push me .. i push u .. into the train if we are running on SOHC
but if non peak hour ... we just walk in steadily..
Now DOHC ..
NON peak hour .. NOT many ppl .... but pintu buka besar besar ... sure all walk slowly into it .. (slowly mixture no gooding) ..
so ... DVVT / VVTI / MIVEC ... instead i buka the pintu 2 meter when the LRT stop .. i buka the pintu before the LRT STOP (sounds funny

) .. so when the time i stop .. ppl will start rush in bcoz i gonna close it faster ... lolzzzz ..
Not a very good example.. but hope u get it .
