       VVT (Variable Valve Timing) components are key devices that optimize the timing of engine valve opening/closing to adapt to different intake demands under different operating conditions, thereby improving power performance. The core logic is to enable the engine to achieve a more reasonable air-fuel mixture ratio at different speeds such as low speed and high speed, reduce energy loss, and optimize power output. The specific improvement path is as follows:
1. Enhance torque at low speeds to improve starting and acceleration response
       When the engine is running at low speeds (such as starting or climbing at low speeds), the VVT components will open the intake valve in advance and delay the valve closure appropriately to allow more air to enter the cylinder.
       At the same time, by adjusting the valve overlap angle (the time when the intake and exhaust valves are opened simultaneously), the residual exhaust gas is reduced, the fuel combustion is more complete, the torque output at low speeds is improved, and the vehicle starts more quickly and the power response is faster during acceleration.
2. Increase power at high speeds to enhance high-speed driving power
      When the engine is running at high speeds (such as overtaking or high-speed driving), the VVT components will delay the opening of the intake valve and shorten the valve opening time, avoiding the "backflow loss" of the intake airflow at high speeds (i.e. air is discharged before it has fully entered the cylinder).
      At the same time, reducing the valve overlap angle, minimizing the mixing of fresh air and exhaust gas, allowing more fresh air to enter the cylinder, coupled with an increase in fuel injection, improves combustion efficiency, and thus outputs higher power, enabling the vehicle to maintain strong power at high speeds.
3. Optimize combustion efficiency and reduce power loss
       Traditional engines with fixed valve timing cannot adjust the valve timing with changes in engine speed, which can easily lead to problems such as "insufficient intake" or "excessive exhaust residue" under certain operating conditions, resulting in insufficient combustion and energy waste.
       VVT components adjust the valve timing in real-time to better match the intake and fuel quantities in each speed range, resulting in faster combustion and reduced energy loss from incomplete combustion, indirectly improving effective power output.
