VVT-i does not adjust lift or duration, while VTEC does.

The description you showed is correct, which is not the equivalent of VVEL because of the reasoned mentioned by red__zed.

Precisely the point it's only VVT-i, no "L" nomenclature.

Although there is a VVTLi engine -- the 2ZZ. However, it could only adjust lift between two positions -- a high one and a low one.

Not sure what you mean since you mentioned this before in response to the statement i made that VVT-I is more like VTC rather than VVEL.
