Default 1992 hb w/ vtec-e

I went to go look at my co-workers son's hb its in pretty clean shape i just gotta replace the axles and front bumper i guess he hit something but the title is clean andhe only wanted it 700 so i think its a pretty good deal . But I popped the hood and the head had v-tec-e stamped on it I never heard of it any 1 ever heard of it ?

I was curious so I consulted Wikipedia:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Wikidepia &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">SOHC VTEC-E

Honda's next version of VTEC, VTEC-E, was used in a slightly different way; instead of optimising performance at high RPM, it was used to increase efficiency at low RPM. At low RPM, one of the two intake valves is only allowed to open a very small amount, increasing the fuel/air atomization in the cylinder and thus allowing a leaner mixture to be used. As the engine's speed increases, both valves are needed to supply sufficient mixture. A sliding pin, which is pressured by oil, as in the regular VTEC, is used to connect both valves together and allows the full opening of the second valve.</TD></TR></TABLE>

That is the 92-95 Civic hatchback VX model-----gas saving VTEC system...Great car for a swap because it already has VTEC.

VTEC-E is good for swaps, and you most definitely are in the wrong forum.
