Nowadays the international regulation regarding the exhaust emission and fuel consumption are going in a progressive restricting direction. Authorities force the researchers toward an optimization of new produced engines by lowering the fuel consumption, the harmful exhaust gases and increasing the overall engine efficiency. By lowering the overall quantity of harmful produced gasses, an optimization of the previously produced engines is a good study direction, where the actual engines are analysed and there may be found different ways to upgrade it to a better, more economical and less harmful way of functioning. The paper approaches the simulation possibilities of the variable valve timing systems using Lotus Engine Simulation software. More precise, it is showed how to use this tool and introduce, modify and analyse the system mentioned above. After simulating different setups of the engine and continuously varying the functionality parameters, useful result shows different ways for further investigations on the engine optimization.
