V-Tec Question
ok, apparently since we're NOT allowed to say H0NDA (shhh!!!) I have to repost this .. 
I have a 2k1 LX Sedan Automatic, and for some reason my valve cover only says "H0NDA" whereas every other picture I've seen it says "H0NDA V-TEC"
Anyone know why my engine bay got deprived of the "V-TEC" label? It would really suck if my car didn't have V-TEC performance.
Anyways thanks guy, any help is appreciated.

Rep Power: 0 like many said, "vtec" is over rated, at least in our vehicle, if it bothers you THAT much, you can always go trade the lx in for an ex, a few members already did that. but i heard that the non-vtec version of the engine is also better for boost due to lower compression...

First of all like everyone else said , LX is a non Vtec and second didn't you not notice that the Vtec solenoid was missing from your engine head? that's why your cover just says "H0NDA"
I also have a LX but a coupe.... trust me not missing much.. just in the parts deparment

Rep Power: 0 Forbidden word? So far it's blocked me from saying H0NDA, ClVlC, and TURB0. I think maybe we need a new filter ..
And I feel better knowing there's a bunch of us out there with LX. When I first got the car, I didn't think much about the engine - it's my first car. Then The Fast & The Furious came out and that's when everything changed. Now I'm like the world's worst driver. *sigh*
Yup, now I'm all about rice-a-roni-fying my ride. Heh heh

Rep Power: 0 HAHAHHAHA...thats funny...did'nt you ask anything about your car before you bought it..Anything below EX doesnt come with Vtec...sorry buddy[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
I would not worry about it anyways, The only model with a full V-tech engine is the SiR (Si in the US). All generation 7 models are SOHC which are not very powerful to begin with just fuel effiencent. The SiR is a DOHC V-tech (newer models have iV-tech) engine which gives off about 30 hp more then the Si (EX in US). I took a the new SiR for a spin hit the 5500 rpm (v-tech goodness) I did not really feel the v-tech kick in, you can feel it more in the older SiR models.

Rep Power: 0 there is a difference between performance and economy VTEC people, anyone who had driven an Si/SiR, Prelude etc will tell you, you WILL feel the cam switchover compared to the bullcrap VTEC-E in standard EX's

Rep Power: 0 What the hell is V-tech, or v-tec, or VEETech?
I'm surprised that on a dedicated Honda board like this one, so many of you still don't know how to spell this well-known Honda technology properly.
No dashes, no lowercaps, no 'h' ...... just VTEC

Rep Power: 0 Yea, but the HX vtec is geared toward fuel conservation rather than additional power output... Well at least thats what keeps gettin told to me. VTEC-E(conomic) or some **** like that...

Rep Power: 0 << For sure the RSX type S would have V-tech it is the top of the line RSX. >>
Nope. Type R is top of the line.
Type S is GS-R line. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]What's up with the new i-VTECs though? They don't seem to "kick you in the head" like the older ones. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
