Basically when the vtec-e isnt engaged you are running each cylinder on 1 intake valve wich causes the air to swirl inside the cylinder and when it is engaged it opens both valves the same distance.

'96+ Civic HX
'01+ Civic EX
'02+ Civic Si
'00+ Insight
'02+ CR-V
'03+ Accord 4-cylinder

^^^what he said^^^

vtec-e is not for performance. it helps give better gas mileage. you could work with but motor but imo its not worth changing most of the part on the vtec-e
