Yes, the Acura RSX does have VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) technology. The 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 engine a flatter torque curve and smooth power transition compared to previous VTEC implementations that only adjusted valve lift and timing.
