Yep, I'm pretty sure (corrent me if I'm wrong) that it's called the VEi and comes in sedan only.

They exist and they are 1.5L sohc vtec (correct). Came in sedan only as someone already mentioned. Basically it has got vtec but unlike the 1.6L units these are tuned for economy only. Could possible be a GL with vtec.

No D16A8 is the DOHC non VTEC from the Si

As said, it says VTEC-E on the rockers cover and is for economy not performance.

Similar to the VTi but lacks the sun roof (not surea bout airbags). Not very common.

The ozzy version is NOT 96Kws. I got the brochure on it and it's what redbook say it is 66kws.

btw, it only come in manuals.

It was never released in Autralia, The AUDM EG4 wasnt VTEC hence lower KW's... The only SOHC VTEC is that JDM one and it is 130hp/96kw

btw, alot of redbook info is inaccurate

What do u mean it was never released in oz? and what do u mean by this

The only SOHC VTEC is that JDM one and it is 130hp/96kw


lol! . This topic is about the 1.5L sohc vtec which is the VEi (in oz). It's here in oz and it's doesn't have 96kws.

It does exist

possible? it's either yes or no. lol

What is the engine code of that 96kws engine?

Rufes1

I hop your purely not going off redbook. I really dislike redbook. Gives out alot of misleading info.

For instant it states the ed ozzy civics with the d15b4 engine is single carb. When they are all dual carb.

Thats just one example

Well you editted your post so mine now doesn't make sense.

This is the bit that get's me puzzled

im pretty sure latinahatchcrap that is selling that 1.5 VTEC has a diferent head. or something, thats why its got that little bit more power. dont quote me on that :?

Rufes1
16-10-2003, 12:53 AM
What I am puzzled with is if a 1.5ltr SOHC VTEC was released in AUS or if the only ones is the JDM....

latinahatchcrap says they were only released in jap. Unless he is refering to normal VTEC and an econo vtec may still have been released in aus.


If thet makes any sense at all

No i don't go off redbook. I go off a brochure i have on the 1.5L sohc vtec which is known (100% in oz) to be the VEi EG civic. Btw, i thought this topic is about oz hondas.

The JDM sohc vtec still exists in australia. Just wasnt in production here.

You still come across them tho. The topic is that his mate has a SOHC 1.5ltr vtec and he wants to know if it exsits. I dont see how this rules out the JDM version.

justin

It would not rule out the JDM version but you must understand that JDM cars are rare in oz and if they do exist then there's every chance they could be a conversion and not the whole car itself. A AUDM civic with a JDM swap does not mean it's a JDM car. Anyway, the only thing for sure now is what is the engine code and is it a hatch or sedan. More than not it's the ozzy VEi.

You also have to remember that Honda Au often got a few non-std cars in - usually they were just cosmetic differences at the end of production runs - I've seen one or two ED '91 Hatches with the JDM "facelift" which was the XT25/SiR front end on them. I don't know that would apply to the 1.5 SOHC VTEC as that would have an impact on servicing but I guess anything is possible.

Rufes is right, Redbook can be notoriously wrong at times, take what it says with a pinch of salt.

Redbook isn't the only site thats wrong. Another site (Carsales??) had a mojor error calling the Vti DOHC VTEC when it clearly isn't.

The Vei (VTEC-E) I strongly doubt is 96kW because I drove one awhile back and it had absolutely NO POWER at all. Felt more like it was near the 60-70kW mark.

correct me if im wrong, but arent eh 1.5l sohc vtec the engines in the jazz vti/vti-s? :?

lol so much misinformation here, ...
i dont want to unjumble the mess, i just took offense to wynode calling the VEi 's SOHC vtec the same as the d16y1. The VEi's vtec actually works in the low rev range (hence why its called the econimical version), they use an econmoney cam profile down+running only 12 valves and then the standard cam/16vavle kicks in up high, the opposite of most normal vtec varients.

Actually, i'll take a stab at sorting this out. Amazingly enough, all u guys are RIGHT. There was a 1.5L SOHC VTEC-E and VTEC AND CARBY (dual and double barrel) engines, putting out around 66kw and 96kw (dont know carby specs) respectivly. ALL are named D15B's (honda wasnt very inventive in those days) and amazingly enough, the VTEC varient puts out the same power as its 1.6L SOHC VTEC counterpart (d16y1/d16z6).

In the end guys think as vtec as being implemented in 3 stages:
1) Economical version: SOHC VTEC-E
2) High output version: SOHC VTEC
3) Very high output version: DOHC VTEC

I never said such a thing :D

You guys should take the time to read the Sticky in the Tech forums :)

VTEC-E can be summarized as: allow extremely lean fuel-air mixture at low RPMs in order to increase fuel economy. In other words, VTEC technology is used to optimize different ends of the RPM range in the two different implementations

I'm right, thats all that matters :lol:

if you want more infor on the D15B SOHC Vtec motor search it on honda-tech, a few blokes in the states have these motors purely cause JDM is in "Fashion" over their at the moment.
