a SOHC vtec engine is that correct? the care the dude drove was an 01 civic EX. So what engine would normally be in there. I thought he was blowing smoke.

also the 01-05 civic ex vtec isn't real vtec compaired to the b16, b18, k20a2 and k20a vtec.
What the fu*k do you mean REAL V-tec. Their are 3, yes count them 3 verions of V-TEC. And theres also ECONO v-tec & non econo v-tec witch has to do with the lobes on the cam.

Actually i believe there are 5 versions of vtec.
i-VTEC
DOHC VTEC
SOHC VTEC
SOHC VTEC-E
3-Stage VTEC
When i say real vtec i mean performance vtec like the k and b series motors have not vtec-e like the 01-05 civic ex's have. I understand your point yes it is a version of vtec so it is real vtec, the ex's do have 2 cam lobes for each intake valve. But to me i don't consider vtec-e to be real vtec. I consider real vtec to be what the b16,b18 and k20a2, k20a's series motors have where you can hear and feel the vtec change over. Sorry we had a sort of misunderstanding.
There was a huge thread on this whole V-tec E thing! And I believe the 02 EX DOES NOT have V-tec "E". But I could be wrong. Also I dont consider I-vtec in the SAME class as vtec. Just my oppinion, it's alot more complated.

Yeah i heard something like that to.
According to this thread the 01-05 ex's have vtec-e and it does mention something about the ep3 having similar vtec to the 01-05 ex's http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=199350
Yes the ex does have vtec-e. There is a guy that disassembled the ex head to prove it. There's also a vtec lean which is on the hx. Both are basically economy vtec. The ex version gives a little more performance, hence the 127hp to the crank rather then the 115hp.

Yeah and im sure you have never even felt what REAL VTEC is SON. If you ever felt b-series or rsx type s vtec then you would know that our vtec is nothing to represent.
