It wouldnt' necessarily say "vtec" on the engine somewhere. I am not that familiar with UK models, but what is the engine code? It should be stamped onto a little flat spot on the block just to the left of the exhaust manifold.

Probably say D15B-something...

You have either a EDM D15B 3 stage vtec or a EDM D15Z6 what trim level is your car. And yes I said correctly a D15Z6

If it's got a vtec solenoid, then it's got vtec.

You got any VTEC stickers on the car yet? Each one adds about 10HP.

look around by the disributor for a solinoid with a green wire with a white stripe. if you have one of those then you have vtec.
