Is the engine in a 99 Civic EX a sohc vtec or just a standard sohc and if it is how can you verify that?

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.

What engines can you use in place of a D15Z4 without changing wiring ECU etc?

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.


Can you use a vtec ecu on a non-vtec motor?

I'm pretty sure it would be a NO considering vtec engines have camshafts specifically made for high rpm use(when it kicks in). normal cars cams aren't different from low to high rpm. certain Honda's switch camshafts from low cam to high cam when vtec is activated


Does d16 engine have v tec?

yes EDIT: yes and no. not all D16 engines come VTEC stock. For sure the D16y8 does and maybe some others. you can always throw a VTEC head on a non VTEC D16 and make it one. People refer to that as a "Mini me" engine.
