If you pop the hood and look to the left of your header/manifold about 4-6 inches below the head you should see a stamped mark that says "d16z6" on the block. Also look for the vtec solenoid right next to the dizzy in the front left corner of the motor if you are standing in front of the car. Hope that helps you

Three ways.

#1: Post pictures of your engine.

#2: Go for a drive and floor it. Does it sound like vrrrroooooooom? Or does it sound like vrooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOM!! You'll hear VTEC kick in. If you think you might hear something or MAYBE there was a noise just then no, you do not have VTEC. It's noticeable. No question about it.

#3: This is the VTEC solenoid. Its located on your motor near the dizzy. You can't miss it. If you don't see it, you don't have VTEC. It obvious just like the picture.

Search mini me swaps. U need for starters head, ecu, vtec wiring, vetec selonoid.

It's not that difficult but it's not all that easy either. If u use the search button on this site and on hondatech.com u will find countless threads on it.
