Λοιπόν για να μην λέμε ότι μας κατέβει στον εγκέφαλο. Fiat was the first auto manufacturer to patent a functional automotive variable valve timing system which included variable lift. Developed by Giovanni Torazza in the late 1960s, the system used hydraulic pressure to vary the fulcrum of the cam followers (US Patent 3,641,988). The hydraulic pressure changed according to engine speed and intake pressure. The typical opening variation was 37%. Alfa Romeo was the first manufacturer to use a variable valve timing system in production cars (US Patent 4,231,330). The 1980 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 L had a mechanical VVT system in SPICA fuel injected cars sold in the USA. Later this was also used in the 1983 Alfetta 2.0 Quadrifoglio Oro models as well as other cars. από: ΛΙΝΚ Εάν δεν ξέρεις αγγλικά ευχαρίστως να στα μεταφράσω. Επίσης όταν οι ευρωπαίοι δούλευαν με τουρμπίνες και βγάζαν θηριώδεις υποδυνάμεις...οι Ιάπωνες ήταν αλλού. Sorry to burst your bubble mate.
