Lemme ask u something here chief. U drive a Civic Si. When does urs kickin? lemme answer for you. It kicks in right when all these othewr misinformed people think it does. Around 4500+ RPMS. Which is true. Now ur Si DOHC Vtec is performance tuned. Which is why the need for the high RPM Vtec Activation. And then thewre are those with the SOHC VTEC-E. Who think they own a racecar but fail to realize they own a economy car. Are yas listening?? The D17 IS NOT A RACEMOTOR!!! IT'S A ECONOMY MOTOR!! AS IN NOT MEANT TO BE FAST. Hence the reason for an early vtec activation.

4500? The VTEC point is 5500+/-.
Did I say the D17 was a race motor? No I didn't.

How many more do I have to throw at ya? I don't believe dealership sites. They are misinformative.

Admit to what?
Why are you acting so ignorant? The evidence is right there. The site I gave you is HONDA's site, not a dealership. Are you able to read big words? I would think that Honda would know what engine they put in their cars.

EX Coupe
With a high-performance 1.7-liter, 127-hp VTEC® engine and 15-inch wheels and tires, the Civic EX Coupe is near the top of its class.
HX Coupe
The Civic HX Coupe is an excellent combination of performance and efficiency. Its 1.7-liter, 117-hp VTEC®-E lean-burn engine is one of the most fuel-efficient around.

The first site on your list says nothing about the VTEC point. The second site barely loads.
The third & fourth site disagree on the engine types. So I wouldn't trust either source.

D17A1 1.7 SOHC VTEC-E ?? 95 kW '01 Civic EX
D17A2 1.7 SOHC VTEC-E ?? 95 kW '01+ Civic EX

http://www.makuragi.s5.com/faq/honda
D17A2- 1.7L SOHC VTEC-E- 01 Civic EX (127hp)
D17A1- 1.7L SOHC non-VTEC '01+ Civic DX/LX (115hp)

The final site shows a 4 door VTi. Whens the last time you saw one in America?
