The engine code that seller listed is not what is in the car, it looks like a b18 out of an integra, but the best way to tell is to look at the engine code on the block.

Assuming the picture is of that particular car's engine, then yes, it has either a DOHC D16ZC engine or a B18B engine (though I don't know why you'd want people to think a B-series is a D-series).

Assuming it's a B-series, it'd be a B18b1 or a B18a1; neither of them are vtec. If the seller is correct and it's a D16ZC, it's still not vtec, though it is a relatively uncommon engine.

These threads.... Just make me want to shoot myself.

OP, why is that thing a "pile" compared to your car? Because you have VTEC? I don't understand 90% of what you post.
