I was in town last night and this kid with a 97 ex (d16y8) said he has half a vtec. I was like WTF!?!? I asked if it was a different head, but with a vtec solenoid and ecu. His ecu is the same as mine so it's an ex ecu with vtec programmed in it. I have no idea. Anybody have ANY idea what this kid meant? Thanks. This had me stumped.

how can anyone have "half a vtec". Your engine is either a vtec engine or its not... maybe since its a d series he assumed vtec is a b series with dohc... and seeing he is sohc maybe he thought that was half a vtec?

 

A y8 is a vtec engine, so I would say its a vtec.
But, he could have had a vtec top end put on an ls bottom end, I guess that would give you half of a vtec.

 

LOL! Never thought of that. I don't think so though. I think he's lost. Like I said. I think if anything it would be a d16y7 head, but then you gotta ask yourself...WHY? Oh well, just wanted to see if I was stupid or something. Thanks guys.

Haha thats the first time I'm hearing that

 

He's either got it or he doesnt. Tell him hes an idiot and leave it at that.

 

i bet he's referring to sohc vs dohc

 

half a vtec???? he prolly has half a brain

 

was he referring to the D series only have vtec on the intake side not on the exhaust too.

 

I have no idea. I think he was confused himself. He confused me that's for sure. Just let this thread die though. I really didn't mean for this kid to get picked on because what he thought or said. I just had to make sure I wasn't the idiot this time. Thanks.

My civic has a b18b in it, so is it half a integra? lol, gotta love the way some people think outta their asses. The funniest of stories are always real-life.

 

the d16y8 only has vtec on the intake and not on the exhaust.therefore, not having vtec on the exhaust is like a half vtec.

 

noobs

To post ***** maybe?........


I would bet money that he is saying 'half a VTEC' because he has a SOHC and only the intake lobs change on a SOHC VTEC engine. Or he's just a dumb ***........

 

sounds like hes referring to sohc vs dohc

 

B = Better

That's your opinion. I'm sure some day a D will show you what's what.

I know why! because your a ******* idiot!
To the orignial poster: he was most llikely messing with you. My friends and i do that all the time. I convinced a kid a few months back that VTEC has a wastegate.

The SOHC has 3 intake lobes and 2 exhaust lobes. He is right.
