Is my 2000 civic ex a vtec

[infinityMan4521]

i own a 2000 civic ex and every place i look it says that the ex comes with the d16y8 vtec. My cars engine says honda on the head rather then vtec. Does this mean it is not a vtec? Most people i talk to say my car is not a vtec. Can anyone help me out.

its a sohc vtec

meaning at about 5K the motor sounds even more annoying

its vtec just show those ppl who say its not a vtec the vtec solenoid on the head.

Its not a vtec. Period. The VTEC on your engine was made to save gas and sound loud, no power, no purpose IMO.

AceSynper reply was excellent, read that again.


And Again.

the only vtec that is good for gas mileage is the hx's vtec-e, i know when i kick into vtec on my ex it doesnt save me on gas
