Wuddup fellas
Recently acquired my eg with a d16z6 engine, but have a slight problem with recognition. I was under the influence that the d16z6 valve cover actually said vtec on it. While the valve cover is of no concern I was wondering how I would be able to tell if I have the full Vtec system or just the solenoid. Anyone got ways to check it out?

 

 

Lol, I realized that when I posted this up it might be a stupid question, but can someone please give me a lesson in Vtec for retards

 

you full throttle'd it and see if the vtec clicked in?

 

Man.....the 09's don't seem to end.

 

09? what about them? i juss grad'd this year ;]

 

That was initially my first thought to take, but my cat is clogged and was just wondering if anyone would know another way.
My full throttle couldn't beat Fred Flinstone in a race

 

well you got me there, i'm too much of a noob to figure out a 2nd way -.-

 

Ok. im gonna stop being an *** and help if you have this...then you have VTEC, as far as it working thats a whole other story.

 

he has the solenoid, but he doesn't know if its just there for fun? lmao

just yea.. look at your solenoid, see if its wired up..

 

Is that all the Vtec for sohc consists of?

 

if you see that thing called the vtec solinoid on the your head you have vtec.

 

pretty much.. its just a solenoid somewhere by the distributor i think [i dont got vtec, so this is just a 11:40pm answer]

im looking at my haynes manual and.. it gives me NOTHING. go look at ur ECU, its its a p28 or p2p, it SHOULD be Vtec [can someone verify this for me?]

 

Yup. He has a d16z6 so hes ecu should say P28. Do u have any check engine lights? Cuz that would stop VTEC from engaging. It should engage at about 5500-5800ish. I believe.

 

O.K. maybe I was misleading with my initial question. I know that the d16z6 is a Vtec model engine and yes I do have a Vtec solenoid. I was under the impression that the d16z6 engine had the Vtec valve cover in which case mine does not. In asking about my engine I thought that there was more to the Vtec System than simply just the solenoid.

 

if you review the function of VTEC in the links below, you'll see what else is there... the solenoid is just the part you can see without taking anything apart. the rocker assembly and cam is where the real difference is.

lol all this over 4 letters on a valve cover? what does it matter? do you need written proof somewhere that your car has vtec

 

just cause it doesnt say it on the vc doesnt mean its not there. thread= FAIL...

 

if the block says d16z6, then it's a sohc vtec engine. not all of the sohc vtec engine's had VTEC on the valve cover.
