the equally famous Honda DOHC B16A with VTEC(Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control). 170 horsepower NA(Normally Aspirated) engine. now which stock non-turbo 1.6 litre engine gives 170??? VTEC kicks in at 5.5k rpm. and i heard its shiok. but look at the civic now. its positively disgusting.
