Im not sure if this is the right place for this question, so sorry in advance if its not. I was just wondering if all post 92 civic EX models come stock with a d16y8? Thanks

 

92-95 ex/si d16z6
96-00 ex d16y8

 

 

both are sohc vtec though, right?

 

Yes sir they are, I have the D16Z6 in my 94 EX.

 

correct.
the y8 has SLIGHTLY more hp than the z6.
both are nearly identical other than a few slight changes

 

z6's like boost and run hard for a single
chirp 2nd all day

 

both z6 and the y8 like boost because of its pretty low compression
and i chirp 2nd and 3rd on my y8

 

So does it say vtec on the head? or where do I look to see if it says d16y8?

 

the only one that says VTEC on the valve cover is the z6.
but you can use the valve cover from a z6 and put it on a y8
perfect fit

EDIT: like i have a y8 and i replaced the HONDA valve cover with the VTEC valve cover

 

The Y8 doesn't feel like it has V-Tak at all...

 

Where do i look to make sure that the engine says d16y8?

 

on your engine. where the tranny connects to your engine there will be a small flat piece of metal.
it will tell you your engine
