Yes, the 2006 Acura RSX has VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control). The RSX is powered by a 16-valve, DOHC, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes Acura’s i-VTEC valve-control system. The i-VTEC system incorporates VTC (Variable Timing Control) to continuously adjust the intake-camshaft phase in conjunction with Acura’s Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system, enhancing performance, fuel efficiency, and reducing emissions across a broad power band.

Does a K20A3 have VTEC?
The A3 doesn’t have real vtec. It just switches from 12v to 16v.
Does Acura RSX have VTEC?
The Acura RSX’s 4-cylinder K-Series engine features intelligent VTEC or (i-VTEC), which electronically adjusts valve lift, valve timing and cam timing, giving the 2.0L engine a flatter torque curve and smooth power transition relative to previous VTEC implementations which only adjusted valve lift and valve timing.
Is K20A3 non VTEC?
The VTEC system on engines like the K20A3 only operate on the intake cam; at low rpm only one intake valve is fully opened, the other opening just slightly to create a swirl effect in the combustion chamber for improved fuel atomization. At high engine speeds, both intake valves open fully to improve engine breathing.
What motor does a 2006 RSX have?
The RSX engine is an all-aluminum, 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder design that uses 16 valves, a dual-stage intake manifold, and the i-VTEC system (VTC on intake cam shaft only) to deliver 155 horsepower SAE net (Rev 8/04) at 6500 rpm and 139 lb-ft. of torque SAE net (Rev 8/04) at 4000 rpm.

The RSX came with the 160 hp (120 kW) 2.0L DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder K20A3 engine throughout the entire production run. Sport cloth seats were standard with optional perforated leather interior.
What rpm does VTEC kick in K20A3?
The VTEC mechanism differ significantly between the K20A2 and A3 head. The K20A3 uses only two cam lobe profiles on the inlet. Under 2200 rpm, this engine is a effectively a 12 valve engine, and over 2200 rpm it is a 16 valve. There is no VTEC mechanism on the K20A3 exhaust valves.
