Rep Power: 332 so then my DX is SOHC also, right? so then the SOHC VTEc really isn't any better than mine? At least not significantly?

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.

Rep Power: 313 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.

Rep Power: 320 yes there already is a thread about the different versions of vtec.
http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=188161
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.
