Default what the heck vtec-e

Since there is no newbie questions section.

I know the function of a vtec, and how it operates.
What is vtec-e which comes in the civic hx models.

Vtec designed for better gas mileage and not for performance. It's in the VX, HX, and some accords I believe...

Disables one of the intake valves at low RPM's. Less air = less power = better gas efficiency...

Try this link for more clarification: http://asia.vtec.net/spfeature/vtecimpl/vtec1.html
