i also want to know what kind of engine is in my car how would i find out and is it v-tec

 

lol are you serious?

 

well what is it?

 

look at your engine, to the left of the exhaust manifold/header there is a code, should be something like D16y7 or B18C1 or something of the sort, report the code back here and anybody can tell you if it's a VTEC engine or not, also, if it's the stock engine jsut tell us what kind of car you have (and year)... I mean obviously it's a civic but the trim (DX, EX, Si, etc.)

 

well on the engine their isnt any codes but a serial number and it has ex on the head but my car is a dx i think the engine was switched or something i know it has a p2e ecu oh its 1997 honda

that's your stock ecu, so even if you had a swapped motor, there wouldn't be vtec. you lose

 

all you have to do, is go get in the car. get on it.


then you'll know if you have vtec or not.

 

when u look at the front of ur engine back look at ur exhaust manifold and look to the lower left and u should see a number code... look again with binoculars

I concur

 

this is almost as funny as the kid who came on here asking what wire he had to cut to make his car have vtec syndrome

 

u get the gauge, called vtecometer.
then u'll know if u have vtec.

 

tha aint cool homie im here to learn something you in ur time didnt know sqat so be out son so dont try to be in here clowning someone homie

 

omg are you for real...if its a dx there is no vtec, but the motor says ex ex has vtec. hmmm like the guy said to the left of the headders on the lower block it should have what looks like a vin number in that it has d16y8-b16-b18 and so on if you find that you are golden

 

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> Look for the engine code on the block.. Also look for one of these on the head. </FONT>

 

Since when do they stamp trim options (EX) on the engines used???

"ex" isnt stamped on the motor, its stamped d16y8.

and its to the leaft of the header on a 4 cylinder.

err what?

 

ok stop making fun of him. he wants to learn.

look at your motor where i color in the red. most honda motor stamp is right there. good luck.

 

Glad to see someone still cares about helping
But all that other **** hanging off the motor is just going to confuse him more

 

haha yeah i couldn't find another picture. this was the only one on my computer. too lazy to search. but i think he'll know what to look for.

 

dont the sohc say vtec on the valve cover??... i cant remember had my b18 too long

 

just look for a selenoid on the left side of your engine, on the head. If you do have it, then u got VTEC, if not, you do not.

 

Homies what what homie WHAT...WHO...homie homie HOMIE....

Word of advise. Figure out exactly what you have first before you start posting stupid questions like "Do I have vtech." Thats like asking "do I have a *****." The answer should be pretty obvious....

Duh

that doesn't mean he doesn't have vtec, there are other ways to trigger the vtec solenoid, ie.. rpm switch, vafc, wired switch, other vtec controllers. as mentioned before look on the head towards the back near the distributor for a vtec solenoid, its pictured above. if its got one it has vtec if not it doesn't.
