I have been told that mid to old age civics (in my case a 93 EX coupe - D16z6) do in fact have v-tech without any statement within the owners manuel or anywhere on the car. The only visual way I know of (aside from the flashy stickers and actually driving the vehicle) is the selenoid between the valve cover and the intake. Could I be wrong? Or is there any other way to find out?

 

just to let you know you are about to get flamed really really bad

on your motor it should say "vtec"

 

This is a vtec solenoid, and where its located is the left side of the cylinder head, when looking in the bay.


Your z6 has vtec, btw
(not vtech, thats a phone)

 

Yes, the d16z6 has VTEC!!!!!

 

I understand that most motors say that. I was just commenting on a rumor I heard that some of them don't.

 

ohhhhhh expletive, here we go!!!

 

lock this thread right now before its too late!!!!!

 

all z6's have vtec

 

Fair enough. Thanks, I guess thats a good enough answer.
