My friend has a 99 civic with a D16Y3 in it. The valve cover does not say VTEC on it, but I was driving it and I swear it has a cross over at about 6000rpms. I just wondering. I know they make SOHC Vtec, and they say Vtec on the valve cover.

 

if i remember right, all the 96-00 d series valve covers are the same, and none say vtec on them regardless of if they have vtec or not. so it's possible, but i've never heard of the y3.

 

d16y3? wtf? do you mean "d16y8"? could be some grease covering up the side of the number 8, if its a y8, then YES it has VTEC

From Wikipedia:

what were the engine codes for the aussie d sereis motors that honda sold to land rover?????????? i forget it might be one og thos,


op look for a vtec solenoid couldnt miss it

 

from what i just googled, it DOES have vtec, and its not sold in the us. might be the equivalent to our d16z6 or y8?

 

look for the green solenoid on the left of the engine.If it has it then its got VTEC.Someone post a pic.

 

It is a D16y8, I forgot to look for the solenoid I knew that, I don't know why I didn't look.

Thanks guys
