ahh okay i did some research and it does appear u have VTAK

well actually... "VTEC-E" which is a form of vtec made to increse low end torque and efficiency keeps one of the intake valves CLOSED longer at lower RPM as opposed to having it OPEN further with normal VTEC..

I assume its not as much geared for the top end power as you would see in the more performance orientated D16Z6 or D16Y8...and more geared for low end torque and effieciency.

so pretty much you have pussy VTAK!! ahahhaha!

Yes specifically it causes a combustion chamber swirl which allows for the super lean ratios (up to 25:1) because the flame front is to busy swirling to pre-detonate or just go out.
It needs "all that" torque  (relative term) because of the super long gears. It will do 144 in 3rd. 120 in 5th is sits at about 1500 rpm. Its kinda cool how well it does low rpm for a teeny little 1.5

You can also sustain lean burn mode at 100 km/h if you're careful


Just thought you should know all this, being a honda tech and all.  :o

plus I thought around here all vtec was for pussies haha

well, I've been kinda beating on it a bit the first two tanks, but over its lifetime its averaged 6L per 100kms. Previous owner tracked mileage for 12 years. That said that was 70% highway.

I got 470 kms to 28L which brought me to about 1/8 of a tank, but my commute is probably one of the worst possible for mielage. Rush hour traffic up the patullo and then up the hill on king george, car barely gets warm by the time i'm at work cause it's about a 10 minute drive. For reference my 8V jetta got barely 400kms a tank doing that same drive.

nice...   i gotta get some new injectors in my white colt... It gets around 9.5L per 100 km's....  the injectors are dirty as shit and when i had it on RG's dyno a year ago it was getting A/F ratios in the 9's... it also bleeds fuel pressure down into the cylinder on hot starts....  I believe the 380 000 km injectors are getting a bit clogged up.

Brett, you might want to have Valley Fuel Injection try thier hand at the sonic cleaning etc.  Its about $100 or so.  I've done a few sets with them and it works very good on old ones like yours.
