check the FAQs in the top of this section.

DX models didn't come stock with a Vtec Engine, so it's either a mini-me swap (non-vtec block with vtec head) or a vtec engine swap (engine that came with stock vtec)

The only D series engines that came with vtec were the d16z6 and the d16y8.
D series are SOHC (Single Over Head Cam).

There are various B series engines that came with Vtec. B series engines are DOHC (Dual Over Head Cams).

A lot of the B series came with vtec minus the LS/B20 if i'm not mistaken.

VTEC was designed to allow engines efficient at low and high engine revs.

Variable Valve
Timing with
Electronical
Control

Allowing the motor to be very fuel efficient at low engine speeds but at higher speed, with the adjustment of valve timing and ignition timing be just as efficient without any modifications to the motor.
