The VTEC system can not simply be hooked up. It is only found in certain Honda Engines. To install VTEC in a non-VTEC car the engine must be swapped in.

Yes, Honda came out with the VTEC engine in 1989. Not all 1991s have the VTEC engine.

The standard engine in a 1999 Civic EX is a VTEC engine. It should say VTEC on the valve cover. there is an engine code printed on the block itself if it is a sohc vtec it will read "D16Y8" on the block, plus vtec engines have something called a vtec silenoied located near the distributor. Actually the D16Y8 valve cover does not say VTEC on it.

can you swap a 2.2 head for a 2.2 vtec head?Will it match up with the Block?

If im not mistaken , this can seen on the engine cover of the car... Big VTEC is normally written bigger than DOHC on the cover meanwhile small VTEC is written smaller which is smaller than DOHC writings on the cover. Big VTEC is normally b16b engine and second generation b16a engine. In addition, other engine such as h22a which can be found in honda accord 1995 and also prelude is big VTEC. Small VTEC is first generation of b16a engine and others. The VTEC engages at the certain rpm and varies for different model of engines. For example b16a big VTEC's swithover is at 5600 rpm where the valves engages. Small VTEC is underpowered compared to big VTEC and is almost can't be felt when VTEC engages. Big VTEC is very powerful, the VTEC engagement has a turbo like feel and it has 160hp or more, depends on the car. As mentioned above, the b16a engine delivers 160hp and 150Nm of torque at around 7000rpm.

b18. Acura offered a vtec and non-vtec. the LS, GS, RS came with a ba8a or b18b. These are both non vtec. the GS-R came with b17a. This was the VTEC. both are DOHC.

There is a difference in a 2.3 non-VTEC and a 2.3 VTEC head bolt pattern. Since the patterns are different, the engines cannot be switched without modifications.

The vtec oil pressure switch tells the computer when the engine has the correct amount of oil pressure for the vtec to engage.

It is simple, tha vtec conrloler let you regulate how much air and gas you whant's to go to your motor, le you start your vtec on any rpm you wnat. i recommended on a 2,500 or 3,000 that make you vtec work at full.
1 answer
Yes you can. You can either use your LS block and put a Vtec head on it or you can just swap it out with a GSR or Type-R motor.

The HYPER VTEC system first appeared in 1983, as part of the CBR400. The DOHC VTEC was first introduced in Japan and Europe in 1989, and in 1991 in the US.

No, generally speaking the only civics that rolled off the factory line with a VTEC under the hood where the Si trim cars. I can't say for sure but usually a VTEC has the VTEC name on the valve cover (top of the engine).

A 1994 Honda Prelude S would not have a VTEC engine in it (assuming it has the original engine in it). It should have the F22A1 in it which is SOHC and Non-VTEC.

No...there are Hondas that are either auto or sport shift that have VTEC motors too.

You can use any d15 series motor as long as it is not vtec. But also it isn't to expensive to switch to a d15b vtec motor you just need vtec ecu and wiring harness that can be found for about $100 on eBay. I switched my car from d15 non-vtec to d15b vtec for about $650 including the price of the motor.
1 answer
you have many different options when it comes to this, you can go d15b7/d16 vtec head (this is a Frankenstein swap where you put a vtec head on a non vtec block), or d16 vtec, or single or dual cam Zc its personal preference, but do not go for the non vtec motors such as d15s and certain d16s research use wikipedia it works the best to find this information

1.7L sohc, vtec or non vtec depends on sub model

VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. The VTEC system provides the engine with multiple camshaft profiles optimized for both low and high RPM operations.
1 answer
no it probably will not... i dont really understand the question though. there is no such thing as a non vtec h22.. if its in a prelude the non vtec motor would probably be the 2.0 liter or the h23 dohc, and in this case the h22 valve cover will not fit.

VTEC may or may not work when the check engine light is on. It depends on why the check engine light is one. If it is on because of a problem with the VTEC system, then, no, it will not work properly.

All engines have a powerband.
Vtec's powerbands are just impossible to find.
1 answer
Yes, as long as you do the swap correctly and run off the correct ECU, there should be no problem.

First off, let's talk about what VTEC is NOT. VTEC is NOT "V-tec", "V-TEC", "V-tech", "V-TECH", "VTECH", "V-TEK", "vtech", "vtec", "vortech", "Vtec", or "Vtech". It's CAPITAL VTEC. No dashes, no lower case, no extra letters, no anything other than the correct and only spelling of VTEC. If you cannot respect the technology and simply use the correct spelling, you do not deserve what it gives you.
1 answer
yes it will, but the 95 is obd1 and the 98 is obd2, if you switch the intake manifold and keep the obd2 sensors, you shouldn't get any codes assuming neither engine is vtec, if the 95 is vtec than you just wont use the vtec wires, if the 98 is vtec you will have to hook it up, but the engine will run fine even without the vtec hooked up.
1 answer
From the factory, a 2000 Honda Civic EX engine does have VTEC on the intake side only. It does not say VTEC on the valve cover, and in stock form you normally cannot tell that it is working, but it is there.
Unless the engine has been replaced with a non-VTEC engine or you are not operating the car correctly, VTEC should be engaging at around 5000 rpm while the engine is at normal operating temperature.
1 answer
No, the only 92-93 GS-R models have the 1.7L VTEC engine; the RS/LS/GS models have the non-VTEC 1.8L. It will say on the Engine if its a Vtec

Your question mean vtec controller wasnt fitted in accord 2004??
1 answer
any engine fom 1994-1997 accords will go in easy. no modification.. if it is a ex you will need and cannot find a vtec engine for it then you must remove vtec computer.. if you want to put a vtec in a lx,or dx model you will also need the vtec control and harness
