02 HONDA CIVIC Si 3DR 5 speed 

2.0 liter 4 cylinder i-VTEC DOHC with a 5 speed shifter mounted in the dashboard for comfort.
VTEC (Variable Valve Timing Engine Control) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine. The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. It was invented by Honda engineer Ikuo Kajitani and was the first system of its kind
For those who don't know what that means, there is a detailed description at the bottom of the page, but it is basically comparable to having a turbo that kicks in at 4000 RPMs

Power windows, locks, sunroof and mirrors. AC and Heat, CD player, wheel mounted cruise control, dual airbags, great speakers and fold down back seats. This is a super fuel efficient, sporty, highly practical and intelligently designed vehicle from one of the most reputable and long lasting manufacturers around. Come take it for a spin and you won't leave without it!



The VTEC system provides the engine with multiple camshaft profiles optimized for both low and high RPM operations. In basic form, the single cam profile of a conventional engine is replaced with two profiles: one optimized for low-RPM stability and fuel efficiency, and the other designed to maximize high-RPM power output. The switching operation between the two cam lobes is controlled by the ECU which takes account of engine oil pressure, engine temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed and throttle position. Using these inputs, the ECU is programmed to switch from the low lift to the high lift cam lobes when the conditions mean that engine output will be improved. At the switch point a solenoid is actuated which allows oil pressure from a spool valve to operate a locking pin which binds the high RPM cam follower to the low RPM ones. From this point on, the poppet valve opens and closes according to the high-lift profile, which opens the valve further and for a longer time. The switch-over point is variable, between a minimum and maximum point, and is determined by engine load. The switch-down back from high to low RPM cams is set to occur at a lower engine speed than the switch-up (representing a hysteresis cycle) to avoid a situation in which the engine is asked to operate continuously at or around the switch-over point.
