RE: What engine do I have? and does it have VTEC?
ORIGINAL: Jameson Malpezzi
its actually vtec, you can tell by the vtec solinode and having the spark plugs in front. all D15-D16 SOHC engines with Vtec have there spark plugs located on the front of the valve cover, and like i said before just look behind it for the vtech solinode,

Its hard to tell what kind of motor you have when it is covered in red paint but it looks like you have a 1.6 SOHC NON VTEC

RE: Honda Engine List(For those that dont know what engine is in their Honda)
Hi all.
I have a 1997 Honda Civic Tornado, 1.4i
I've had a look on the internet but can't find it anywhere!
Reason I'm asking is that the cars due to go on a dyno in the next few weeks and I want to know if my car's any less powerful because of its age.
Someone told me, that with the upgrades, I should be looking at only about 105bhp. But they're only assuming my car started out at 90bhp like other 1.4i's
Could you help?
