Nissan with consumption-reducing valve technology
09.05.07 - A new variable valve gear is to help the petrol engines of all future Nissan vehicles to more achievement with smaller consumption. For the first time the so-called VVEL technology in the Infiniti G37 Coupé for the Japanese and the US market is used.

The air supply of the engine is steered now directly via the steplessly adjustable valves at the cylinder. Without the conventional butterfly valve in the Ansaugtrakt can be done. Thus flow losses are reduced, in addition the higher flowing in speed leads to a better distribution of the gasoline air mixture in the cylinder. Thus consumption is to reduce opposite the Nissan engines equipped with the conventional valve gear over up to ten per cent and improve the responsing mode noticeably. mid/hh

Yeah, looks like the new VVEL. Its a good thing we don't need to do cam swaps on that engine, would be a nightmare otherwise!

For those of you trying to make sense of the fractured translation .....

Ansaugtrakt = intake manifold

There's also an animation somewhere showing how the mechanism ticks.

On the exhaust side, conventional cams are still being employed, so aftermarket replacements are sure to follow eventually.
