German term or phrase: Ventilhubumschaltung
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.

cam profile switching
Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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


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