vtec?
 

how can i tell if my 1998 Honda civic ex is a vtec. i cant seem to find it anywhere.

RE: vtec?
 

all ex are vtec

thanks but i found it out. the manual says the ex's made in canada are non vtec and the ones made in the us are vtec.

RE: vtec?
 

nice job. i didnt know you were in canada lol

RE: vtec?
 

im not in canada but thats apparently where the car came from. All the gauges are us though. Its really weird how that works.

RE: vtec?
 

EX's(pre 8th gen) Sold in Canada were non-vtec, just cause they were made in Canada doesn't mean they aren't vtec.

RE: vtec?
 

Are 08 LX VTEC?

RE: vtec?
 

Yes the R18A1 is a i-Vtec motor

RE: vtec?

since this thread is made already i may as well ask! so i am new at cars and stuff so forgive me.
i have a auto 99 ex. so does it have vtec? it is the d16y8 engine. i have seen the "solenoid". but now i don't think i have vtec. why?
many of my friends have hondas .. vtec .. and when their vtec kicks in its nuts yea .. i know you can hear the vtec kick in. mine never kicks in .. it does not rev harder, get louder, etc. no RPM jump after 5.5k
so either i have no vtec, the SOHC is much less noticeable than the DOHCs, or its just like that? let me know thanks in advance ^^
