Honca D15b - 2 Stage Vtec ??

[MkX]

Hi I need information on my Honda.

http://asia.vtec.net/article/EK3Vi/

As per above ariticle my car should be 3 stage VTEC. Engine is same as discribed in the article (D15B SOHC) with 2 VTEC selonoids.

But I was told it's 2 stage VTEC.

If I have 2 stage VTEC how does it work (what valves engage) and at what RPMs?

If I am not mistaken, the 3-stage VTEC D15B is the only Honda engine with two VTEC solenoids. One is for transition from 'stage-1' (12 valve) to 'stage-2' (16 valve 'mild' cams) and the other for transition from 'stage 2' to 'stage 3' (16 valve 'wild' intake cams).

You seem very confused. If your car is a an Ek3 it is a three stage v-tec. The engine has two solenoids.
