- Fri Mar 21, 2008 3:59 pm #47107 4 door lx and dx models came with a D15b7 non-vtec engine. Unless someone swapped in a different motor, your car does not have vtec. Easy way to tell...
spark plugs on the front side of the valve cover, swapped and could be vtec.
spark plug on the back side of the valve cover, d15b7 and no vtec

another way to tell, look to see if you have the vtec solenoid at the back left corner of the head.

The first one on the page is an all motor kit, the second is a turbo set up. both can be used on your engine. both are very good. Good Luck with the car.
