We are really only dohc - just 2 cams for each cylinder but 4 total due to the boxer layout

The iris varies the air intake into the runners before it hits the valves. (open/ closed to both sets of runners)

vvt/vtec (or whatever) varies the actual opening of the valves (lift/ duration)

I think it might be a stretch to call ours variable valve timing - since it is not varying the actual valve timing one bit. But it does do something and you can definitely feel it when it comes on.
