Already Searched. Need to know if my Del Sol is VTEC or what...
here's what we have so far, it doesn't say VTEC or Si on the back OR on the valve cover, and it doesn't say VTEC on the gauge cluster . . . but according to http://www.accordracing.com/vinnum.htm I have an Si engine. I did a search and the information I found seems to be conflicting, I've read that all Si engines are SOHC VTEC's. If my car has VTEC then there must be something wrong with it because I cant feel it kick in, and I'm sure I would feel it because I pay pretty close attention to my car when I'm driving.
Can I get a definitive answer from somebody who knows?
Thanks alot.

if it dosent have a black valve cover that says DOHC VTEC on it, its an SI
