VVEL is not like Vtec. VVEL controls valve timing on intake and exhaust. VTec controls the valves in Honda you have a extra lobe on the cam when activated these open all the valves will open using this hotter lobe on the cam. Now i-Vtec adds the VVEL to the mix with variable valve timing to the intake and exhuast for better performance through the RPM band.
