but another way of telling if it's vtec if you look for the vtec solenoid, that is underneath the valve cover breather tube. and you wont feel vtec in a sohc.

my vtec crossover kicks in pretty hard at 5,500
its a d16y8 port and polished, but yea your motor is a vtec, your not going to get much out of that, maybe a slite change in the intake noise.

'92-'93 D16Z6s don't say VTEC on them, '94-'95 D16Z6s do say VTEC on them.
They all have VTEC.
VTEC is not like a turbo. VTEC will not throw you back in your seat. You might hear a slight tone difference if you turn the radio and A/C off, roll up the windows and don't make a sound.
