It should have a d16y8 engine which does have VTEC. It does not say it on the valve cover though. (Or at least mine doesnt).

How about the one thats in your car now? Its regarded as the best OEM Honda D-series IM and the prices would seem to be right to me.

More likely than not if you don't even know your car has vtec, it doesn't have enough done to the engine to justify an aftermarket IM

Well I live in Alabama and it gets cold like that, I thought just about all over the USA it gets cold enough to see it but I guess not. And yeah don't rev your engine like that unless it's properly warmed. BTW aftermarket intake is pretty much useless on a stock engine.
