ya i know about the vfr800 vtec in the motorcycles but when was VTEC first offered in a crx/civic?
ya i was refering to the 92 Si's
my buddy's d16 doesn't have the vtec solenoid on the block but i don't know if it's just in a different place or if his 89 crx Si really doesn't have vtec?
he bought a new SOHC and he says it's the same engine but the block only says ZC? any and all help is appreciated. thnx again

'92 si's? are you referring to a hatch? nope. it goes back farther than that. the first car was the 1989 crx in japan. the nsx was the first u.s. car. the first company to actually work on it was fiat in the 1970's. bmw also had vanos in 1992.

im sure the first vtec honda was on a nsx i saw it somwhere
im not reading the rest of this crap but Honda first starting producing MOTORCYCLES before cars in 1948. Actually the first engine they were well known for back then was the CVCC (controlled vortex combustion chamber)Quoted post[/post]]
heck the guy that runs the shop in my sig said that honda had variable timing on its bikes before it was on their cars. VFR800 comes to mind. Thats early 80s.

Black Widow g2 said:can you show me where you get that. i dont' agree with you. the first us car with vtec was the '91 nsx. the first honda was the 89 crx but that was only in japan.
the JDM 88 integra had a ZC motor. The US model had a d16. The XSi was the 90-93 and didn't feature the b16a until 1990.
The JDM CRX SiR featured a b16a in 89.
I got this information from HondaHookUp.com and my friend the tech at Honda.
