depends on year model etc, whether its vtec at all, i know honda did non vtec 2.3's, but i thing the best performing was the H23a, was about 200bhp, they also did a f23 engine variation related to the f20 but think that was somewhere around the 150bhp area
both are 16v engines, although, there are some vtec engines like the 1.5 vtec-e (d15 iirc)motor that will run 8v till a certain RPM then switch to 16v mode, but thats an economy focused vtec, not for maximising performance

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
LOL at this thread!!
v-tecs are pants...don't make great power in comparison to their rivals...and then burn so much oil, they didnt meet euro emissions rules!
tbh all that jap wank is over-rated too! like the over-rated and over priced shite...that is the AE86 Corolla! like what the fuck is the fascination in a 25yr old bundle of shite with a shite engine going "bap bap bap bap bap" (and in circles too) The honda civics are the fucking same....only with a slightly we bit more power, and a few decades too late!!
i hate the veedub crap, but a golf/corrado vr6 made all the right noises (and a superb sound at that), but at least they had a good bit of poke for what they where back in the day, and they do make great engines currently!! but wtf are honda playing at

its difficult to take anyone on a ford forum seriously when there username is lambo slayer. what a dick head. The point is, for a standard N/A engine, the v-tec system is pretty flawless

Even before there supercharged from a Hot hatchview compared to there competitors there are a good car in standard form.
Though it's not my favourite in Hot hatches, out of the MK5 Golf Gti edition 30, focus St and megane sport in that era of cars.

Ok so you are telling me a renault is more reliable than a honda? also have you driven a 182 cup? I have and they are cracking cars, however they are not as powerful as the 2 litre equivalent v-tec engine. In fact have you ever driven a dc2/dc3 integra? these are only 1.8 but will rev to 8400 rpm all day long

i drove many clio 172s and 182s. nice cars tbh but on a track .. on a straight road aint that quick.. but make up for it on bends. integras as standard aint thaaat quick . i notice they launch good though maybe because hey aint got enough power to spin the wheels\???? and maybe because the vtec comes in late so dont spin up? nice looking cars but i would still turbo one for it to be quick.... next time my advice to you is just scream VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO and i swear it will be untouchable the car will do 300mph

what a bell end you actually are, so much for an interesting topic discussing an interesting topic.
Then you being an immature prick with no knowledge of cars or engines turns up and acts like a 5 year old. its people like you that spoil forums like these where people come here looking for valid opinions or knowledge. Funny, i don't see you debating on the current European union issues.

fair enough mate, i worked for a long time at the BCA auctions and drove quite a few v-tecs of various types. I will always agree they they dont feel very high on torque, but for an n/a system, they are the best i have driven ( with the exception of ITB's etc)
