d16 help

First off I wanna say im new to the site and Hondas in general being I just bought my first one about a month ago. I know I have a d16y7 and was wondering if all y7s were vtec or not. The reason im asking is cuz it was a swap by the guy who owned the car before me and it doesn't say vtec on the valve cover. Like I said I could be way off base here being I know nothing about Hondas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

D16Y7 = non vtec
D16Y8 = vtec

put a Y8 head on your Y7 = D16Y8.

do a mini me swap easy as pie for real! wire up several wires and do a lil splicing and switching of the head and ecu and a couple other things. but not bad at all

none of the valve covers had "vtec" on them for the 96-00 civic d-series motors.

I think the D16Y5 valve cover says vtec-e on it.. i may be mistaken or have it confused with the D15Z1 vtec-e valve cover

look for a vtec solinoid by the dizzy maybe its got a vtec head on it since it was a swap. not a very practical one if its still a y7.

as long as youve got VTEC stickers, youve got VTEC.
you need more stickers

Where would the vtec solenoid be located at?
