[markgonzales3]

Hi,

I just bought a car, how would i know if it has a vtec engine? how do i know if they just changed the rocket cover to a cover that had vtec n put stickers. I can't hear when the vtec comes in.

You know you have vtec when your girlfriend screams vtec as she cums.

What car did you buy?

[Toilet]

[hisoka]

dc2 !

what model , gsi, vtir, type R. cause you say dc2, that means you have a vtec variant. dc4 is the non vtec model

B .. but what if the owner b4 me just changed the rocket cover .. is that possible?

[hisoka]

nah no one is that gay lol.

read on the left party of the block near the exhaust. it should be stamped b18c7

[SiReal]

or b18c2 if vtir

you have vtec if you have B and no you cant put a vtec cover on a non-vtec motor if its a B motor

[mocchi]

you have vtec if you have B and no you cant put a vtec cover on a non-vtec motor if its a B motor

why not?

[hisoka]

you have vtec if you have B

b18b does not have vtec. try again lol

[string]

The bolts line up very differently for the VTEC rocker covers. One major difference is that 4 of the cam cap bolts come all the way up through to the cover - these don't exist on the non-VTEC.


b18b does not have vtec. try again lol

Option B has VTEC however, try reading again.

sorry i failed in a attempt to look cool~ Lol:cool:

anyway case solved

[onlykillzz]

because the studs don't line-up and also i think the non-vtec head is to shallow..... look up info on the b18 motor in particular the b18b, b18c4 and the b18c7

take the cover off ur airbox, warm up the engine so that the temp guage is in the middle, find a nice bit of open road away from any people, redline the engine in 2nd gear - u should hear the vtec crossovers

if u have a vti-r there will be 2 crossovers ... if u have a type-r there will be one hard crossover

but in all seriousness ... search ... theres plenty of info on this ALL OVER the internetz

[est1989]

if ur car makes a funny noise at around 5500rpm u have vtec.
