The reason I asked this is because someone mention that the older VTEC (like the one in 94 Integra GSR ) is not as "strong" as the one in newer cars with VTEC.

So just please answer this question for me:

Does the VTEC in 94 GSR perform the same as the newer VTEC Honda has right now?

Thank in advance.
Don't worry 'bout it. I moved it here since it focused more on motors and less on specific issues for the Teg. h:

Since there were no drastic changes to the head design during the 94-01 build of the B18C1 (the motor under the hood of DC2/DB8 Integra GSR) , the powerband is virtually identical for all model years.

The K-series motors are of an entirely different design than the B-series.

Their "i-VTEC" valvetrain has the advantage of that VTC camshaft timing system (which I mentioned earlier) in addition to the VTEC valvetrain. The addition of VTC is part of what aids mid-range torque in the K20A2 (for example). But then again, so does the K20A2's higher compression and greater displacement...

So while the K-series motors make more flywheel horsepower, there is IMO no real point in comparing them to their B-series predecessors.
