what torque its an Honda, not much torque just RPM. Why do you think Focus ST 2019 with 280PS(twin scroll turbo and 420NM of torque) barely beats a Civic type-r that has 320 PS but much less torque. Ecoboost has no valve lift but its has an awesome overboost that most almost all car makers dont even dare to try to reproduce, cause they cant control the beast. Ever wonder why a simple 1.0 fiesta with 3 in line has variable torque? before hitting 5500 torque is 175 NM once you go into overboost almost 200NM. And dont forget the amazing rubber timing belt dipped in oil.

The difference is the other manufacturers rarely include the variable valve lift (the fun part). The reason we get that kick and sound with VTEC is because as we cross over a set RPM the engine switches to bigger cams for extra punch when we need it. I know Toyota included it with one of their engines, the 2ZZ, but I think that’s it.
