(Redirected from VarioCam Plus)'VarioCam' is an
automobile variable valve timing technology developed by
Porsche. VarioCam varies the timing of the
intake valves by adjusting the tension on the timing chain connecting the intake and
exhaust camshafts. VarioCam was first used on the
1992 3.0 L engine in the
Porsche 968.
Porsche's more recent 'VarioCam Plus' uses two sets of cam lobes (similar to
Honda's
VTEC) to vary timing and lift. This system is found on the latest
Porsche 997.
