German term

Ventilhubumschaltung

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks engine technology - diesel
Durch den Einsatz einer Einlassvariabilität beim Dieselmotor kann ebenfalls eine Ladungsbewegung erzeugt werden, sodass der Einsatz einer Drallklappe und die damit verbundenen Drosselverluste vermieden werden können.
Grundsätzlich ist eine solche Einlassvariabilität mittels einer *Ventilhubumschaltung* oder eines zeitlichen Versatzes der einzelnen Einlassventilhübe denkbar.

I would like to say "cam profile switching".

Does anyone have a better solution/the proper term?

Thank you.

Maybe ... ... "variable valve lift" would work -- it seems to be quite established as a term, and is a more direct translation, IMHO: http://www.pattakon.com/vva/intro.htm

However, there's the danger of implying "continuously variable valve lift" even if you don't want to/shouldn't.

That's why you might want to say "2-stage variable valve lift", like here: http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/engine/vvt_31.htm

cam profile switching

I think you're right.

The basic Campro engine coded as S4PH is a basic DOHC 16-valve 1.6 L engine that produces 110 bhp (82 kW) @ 6,000 rpm of power and 148 N•m (109 ft•lbf) of torque. This is the engine that powers the Proton Gen-2. The S4PH engine can be fitted with Cam Profile Switching (CPS) and Variable Inlet Manifold (VIM) technology.

Der 5,0 Liter V8 Saugmotor überzeugt durch Ventilhubumschaltung (CPS) und variable Nockenwellensteuerung (VCT), die durch Ventildrehmoment statt Öldruck gesteuert werden.

valve-lift (setting) changeover

Eine Umschaltung, wenn der Begriff sauber verwendet wird, ist in der (Maschinen)Technik fast immer ein Wechsel zwischen zwei Betriebszuständen, also changeover (change-over).
Und das scheinen die vielen relevanten Treffer auch zu bestätigen ...

variable valve timing

I agree with opolt and would use the word valve for "Ventil" in my translation of this. I would like to suggest that variable valve timing is the more appropriate term.

valve stroke changeover

Meines Erachtens muss der "Hub" mit STROKE übersetzt werden.
