i have a d16y8 in my 97 ex honda civic. i was always under the assumption that this sohc engine was not built on vtec techonology. however, when i was looking at some engine specs, it said:

D16Y8 1.6 16V SOHC VTEC-II PGM-FI 1590 127hp@6600rpm 107tq@5500rpm '96-'00 Civic EX (USA)

what is vtec-II as opposed to, for example, just plain vtec, as it was listed for b series engines... does anyone happen to know?
