hey guys, just wondering if the motor in these was v-tech or not, I assumed since it was the highest trim level it would be, but it doesn't seem to be overly quick.

No such thing as a v-tech motor so the answer would be not.

I beg to differ considering every honda that has come out since like 2003 has a v-tech motor. B18's are vtech motors, they make v-tech B16's and v-tech 1.5 liter motors as well although those are rare. But if we're arguing symantics here, then I will reword my question: would my car have a v-tech HEAD?

your car would have a d16z6 v-tec not v-tech like the phone there is no h on the end of it

no motor has "v-tech"
but ur ex coupe does have a VTEC motor.
see the difference?

Afredo

haha sorry, haven't owned a honda for a while, the lingo has escaped me. thanks for the info. do you guys know the bhp numbers for these motors? I assume its probably around 130 or so.

You have a D16z6 motor and yes you have VTEC.... say it with me VTEC VTEC VTEC

If the word "vtech" is ever mentioned in a thread from now on, it should be closed.

my vtec wont kick in done the oil and got new soidnoid and still no joy any idea y it wont work

MonkeyMagic

i second the motion

and add stipulations for instant lock if "kick" "feel" "hear" are mentioned within 3 words or so from said "vtech" word.

how about some VTAKK....anybody?? LOL

but in all seriousness, i think its 125hp for the Z6

and hopper my guy i know ur new and all but u just jack attempted to jack the OP's thread, no no...
but remember for vtec to engage, the car must be at operating temp., above 12 mph and in the z6's case, at 4800 rpm

speedooo

If you wish to hear vtec, I suggest getting an aftermarket intake. The sohc motors only have secondary vtec lobes on the intake side so a louder intake will make vtec louder. A louder exhaust will just drone it out.

i would say 120hp n to the wheel like 90-100whp.. n with vtech like 1hp if ur lucky

hopper2010

ya done all that was drivin round 4 awhile be4 i tried it and brought it rite up to 800 rpm and still notin just a burin smell of oil

MonkeyMagic

quick? it was 125hp brand new! most new model kia's come with more testicular fortitude. what are you expecting? it's a grocery getter.. not a corvette.

the only saving graces are things like a stereo with seperate tweeters power mirrors and a sunroof.

EDIT: and color-match trim and mirrors!

what were you trying?

800rpm is a normal idle? so if you brought the car to that i'd say its idling to low. or is it a diesel model?

smelling oil? sure it isn't the smell of the black smoke from the diesel?

or am i just misunderstanding?

serious note.. why isn't this thread just locked?

im pretty sure the OP's original question was answered already, soooo...LOCK!LOCK!LOCK!

honda tech is starting to diminish with people who reply like this

singlecammin

look at the engine block on the left side of the exhaust manifold. it should say d16z6. if so it is a vtec motor.

dudesitsjdm

That dosent mean it's vtec could have a diff head. He need's to check the head casting to make sure it's vtec.

hopper2010

no its not a disel car i was told vtec should kick in bout 5000 reffs and i went all the way up to 8000 and still notin

speedooo

Let me spell it out for you...those motors generally don't produce an audible vtec crossover. Stop over revving your motor, we don't want to have to read another thread that says "I revved my sohc to 8k rpm and it died...what did I do?"

Stock VTEC crossover is supposed to be fairly smooth and seamless anyway; it's not like you're all of a sudden hitting 20lbs of boost.
