Default V-Tech and Other junk

V-tech:

Can you add V-Tech to an engine that does not come with it stock?
If so what all do you need and what are the steps involved?

Other Junk:

I drive a 2005 Civic Lx With a D17A1 motor.
What should I do with this motor? Turbo? All Motor? Swap?
I need Ideas so hit me up if you have anyhting.


Thanx

Chris

Ok, here we go again guys...

It is spelled VTEC. No hyphen, no H, just plain, unabused VTEC.


Second, Yes, you CAN add an EX VTEC head to your a1, but do you REALLY want to spend the 500 bucks or more to get 10 whp??? thats like 20 bucks/hp.

Third... theres a little feature here on Honda-Tech that will be your best friend, or your worst enemy. Its called the <FONT COLOR="red">Search</FONT> feature.

Use it, because we regulars here, see this same question all the time.

Holy crap, It happened here too!?!?! Dude this is getting creepy.

http://www.7thgencivic.com/for...74592

That thread originally got closed. Then the OP of that thread started another one asking why it got closed, bitching all of us out. So the mod who closed the first one opened it again so he could have his question answered...rofl. And what's funner is in the second thread, he was worshipping you, Red_Em2, saying that you were the best and you wouldn't tell him to search and nobody on Honda-Tech would do that either.

Too bad they deleted the second thread where he said that, or I could just show you instead of tell you

What are you talking about?

EDIT: Late post.


Still confuses the heck out of me, though. I don't see why you even posted.

This post is what confuses me. How does it relate to this thread? I'm not trying to be rude, I just don't see your point very well.

do you have vtec???


cause if you dont, im sure you'd prolly look into getting a head swap too.

vtec makes a bigger difference then you think, especially when you dont have it at all.

TRUST ME

i'm gonna do it, if i dont endup doing a swap before the end of the year which is highly possible

If you want to get technical about it, you can't add a phone to an engine. Motors run on electricity. Engines run on fuel.

Sorry if you think we're all tossers, but if you only knew how many question about "vTak", "Vtek" or "Vtech" we had in here, you might understand our predicament a little better. Its a minor detail, true, but when it happens so regularly, its one that still grates everytime.
