That is a DOHC engine, 95% sure it's VTEC.

that's not a vtec motor. it's a dual overhead cam motor but it's not vtec. that's either a zc motor or an ls motor

Its an A8/A9 or ZC. great motor, even though it isnt vtec. not a huge amount of aftermarket support. but makes a hellish noise once it gets going.

who gives a **** about vtec, that is a good car, vtec is really not all that great, there are a couple guys on another forum i frequent that make 300 whp out of a d16a6 turbo and that isn't vtec.
