Re: VTec or no Vtec, that is the question
Should be vtec, there is a flat plate on the engine block a little below the head and at the seam where the motor meets the tranny.

Re: VTec or no Vtec, that is the question
if you have an SI engine it should definitely be a VTEC. my 97 ex has a 1.6l 127hp vtec.

I have a '00 civic LX (Canadian version), the block doesn't say VTEC but it is a SOHC 1.6L. I would like to know what type it is so I can begin its "transformation". I don't know if it is an H, B, D etc... I am not even sure if I need to know to start the mods. Any suggestions??

Re: VTec or no Vtec, that is the question
I believe it should be a D16y7 non-vtec, but for sure it's a D-series. There should be a flat plate on the engine block right where the motor meets the transmission, that will tell you what your engine code is for sure.

Where do you live? In the US there was no 96 Si.
y7 = non vtec afaik, the only sohc d series motors that were vtec are the z6 and the y8

He's fron canada so I'm assuming his Si is their version of our EX.

horse power from honda
ok look, you can push a honda motor to the edge and still get more, i built a d15b engine all motor and produced 240 horsepower to the wheels, iguess its because i am a master tech and hold a degree in horse power but any ways people dont give up,
