Just a note. I have read a few posts where people have refered to Variable Valve Timing as VTEC. VTEC is Honda's version of Variable Valve Timing. Nissans is VVT or CVVT. Every company has a different way of doing it, and Honda's aren't the best anymore.
Unless you want people to fake fun of you, do not refer to general variable valve timing as VTEC.
the reason why people say VTEC is so that people unlike you and myself understand what they are talking about. Most people dont know about the sr16ve or sr20ve line over sea's.
So how can I add VTEC to my car? Doesn't APC make a kit for it? By the way, I want to throw two bottles of NOS in my car, I was thinking a 200 shot, I only have $50 since I work at Burger King but all my Civic friends say to go for it....you guys got any advice?
You guys are scaring me.
VTEC is what HONDA's have.
VTECH it is not.
Variable Valve Timing = VVT
If you ask people how to get VTEC on your nissan you will be ridiculed.
Honda engine's have VTEC. You could try and put a Honda engine in your nissan, but that would be a complete waste of money.
There are a few Nissan Engines with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), which may or may not fit into your car.
The S14 + S15 SR20DET have VVT. They will fit in your 240sx.
The GA16DE and SR15VE (j) and SR20VE (j), can fit in your sentra.
All the new Nissans with the 3.5l V6's have CVVT, which is continuos Variable Valve Timing, which means that it's not 3 or 4 settings like Honda's VTEC, It's a Continual Valve Adjustment system run on off the Cam Gear.
Honda's VTEC is 3 or 4 Different Lobes on the Camshaft. Each of these lobes is activated as the controlling love for the valve, at different RPM's. Nissan's VVT is a intake Camshaft Advancement Gear, which can peed up the Valve timing, or decreas it as necessary, giving more fluid intake timing change, and more possibilities than 3 or 4 settings. Honda's VTEC allows for different valve lift, and duration, giving it's different VTEC valve setting more unique intake adjustment, giving each VTEC stage a different feel + advantage.
Which is better is up to you, just don't call a nissan with variable valve timing a VTEC.
I actually thought the specific nissan term for this was VVL(variable valve lift & timing ,) as in the neo VVL and VVT was the generic term, refencing such things as VTEC, VVL, MIVEC, and any other form of variable timing. I could be wrong though, but this is what I've read. Nissan engines do come with simply VVT, but it is not their own unique moniker, at least from what I have gathered

Your correct.
VVT is the generic term. Nissan has called it VVL, on my 200sx w/GA16, it's called VVT. Now it's CVVT or CVVL, Not 100% sure, so I just simplified it, as VVT.
Also, If you really do want VTEC in your nissan, Listen to intrepid, just get a huge VTEC window sticker and Type R logo's, that should add about 25 VTEC hp!
