engine type question

So I Have the chance of picking up a HONDA VX motor for 200$ bucks. The vehicle i would be putting it in is a 90 Hatch. Let me know if i should pick up this motor.I don't know JAck SQWAT about honda motors?Thanks Doug

vx motor specs

92 hp @ 5500
97 tq @ 4500

i would'nt bother putting that motor in your car

would it be worth just to drive around.Not for performance? Does it have VTEC? I guess i should of put that in my first post HUH..-Doug

If that is the only option you have to make the car run then it might be worth it. I think that the VX came with the Vtec-E motor, which was 3 stage vtec for better fuel economy. I may be wrong, but that is what I think. They get great gas mileage, but have no balls at all.

so it would be a great engine to get me through the winter then to the motor swap??

good all around stock motor....great on gas.....will get through through more than the winter.....may 10 winters? heh

HAHA thanks Guys for the info. THANKS -Doug

the VX engine, a.k.a. D15Z1 does NOT have 3 stage VTEC. it doesnt even have any different cam profiles for VTEC.

VTEC-E is a system that runs in 12 valve mode under a set rpm, around 3000 or so, then after that point, it engages "VTEC", which is really just the 4th valve, making it run in normal 16 valve 1.5L SOHC mode.
