so, you can open up ur logbooks/dealer books and tell us the engine code. it should have a "D16Yxyz1239012931293" somewhere in there.

that will give us your answer.

It should either say "D16Y4" or "D16Y8". If it is a 4 then no VTEC if it is an 8 then VTEC.

You dont need log books. Just pop the hood and look at the compliance plate - will have the same information.

^^ she's a girl, might break her finger nails doin that.

[Why_Try]

it sound like she has a ej8 than its vtec though the engine cover doesn't says it has vtec (ej8 if the rear lights have yellow amber unlike the em1 where its only two colour white and red, side strip of the car is black and the rear number plate holder thing). gli looks exactly the same em1 except for the oem rims, the side strips are black not the colour of the car and its auto; that is not vtec.

The number is also on the firewall at the top.

[MiSs HoNdA]

hmmmmmm go onto www.boostcruising.com and look up REX113 and look at the car he is selling which is mine and tlel me what it is from wat u can see..

[TRaNz]

Car: Honda Civic VTI Coupe

Engine: D16Y8, 1.6L 5sp Manual

So yes it has Vtec from wat i gather in this thread...

[MiSs HoNdA]

thank you

[JasonGilholme]

thank you

No probs.

We can always double check at the cruise for ya! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Q_ball]

^Yes, your car has single cam SOHC vtec...fuel efficiency vtec.

Its not the same as DOHC vtec which is the ones that make the real power up the top end.

[kazam]

if it had VTECH writtne under the bonnet i wouldnt have asked.


I dont think its guna have "vtech" written on it... so u should probly check for VTEC

[JasonGilholme]

kazam = smart ass.
