The engine has to be designed with VVT, trust me on this, it cant happen.

Default Actually VTEC is completely different
VTEC uses a separate cam lobe while VVT is continuously variable. VVT controls valve overlap while VTEC controls duration and lift.

Now VTEC-I has both.

Default VVT controls valve overlap
It's not designed for outright HP, but for torque.
