Here's a simple little link for yas to checkout what it says about the Civic VTEC...

Here's a quik example of what I want u to read..
"The Civic HX, for example is really a VTEC-E (Efficiency), and is tuned for outstanding gas mileage. As the years progressed, Honda decided to tune a VTEC engine to be somewhere in the middle: both efficient and relatively powerful. This "mixed" VTEC is the one that has found it's way into the Accords, some Civics, and the Acura CL. Most VTECs are SOHC (or "Single Over Head Camshaft"), only the DOHC ("Dual Over Head Camshaft") VTEC engines are truly tuned for maximum performance." 
Oh me oh my.........

Ok. So he now has an HX instead of an EX? Word of advice genius, don't talk about what you don't know.
The EX has the VTEC engine, the HX has the VTEC-E. What is your "article" supposed to prove? It has nothing to do with the D17 or VTEC engagement points.
If you don't believe me, feel free to check Honda's site here
