#102898 Welcome. I also have a EJ1, I love the heck out of it. :thumb:
Be sure to check out the DIY Section. Tons of really really good info there on modifing our Cars.

The Stock D16z6 in your engine bay(unless swapped out) responds well to mods. Basic Intake/Headers and Exhaust(I/H/E) and it scoots pretty good. The d16z6 also takes Nitrous and Boost pretty good in Stock form as well.

Also since its going to be asked, Can you post up some pics of your Ride?

#102906 Yes I can. I will post them up tomorrow alright. And does the stock engine on an EJ1 has VTEC right? Because someone told me that the stock one doesn't have VTEC.

#102907 The EJ1 (civic coupe EX) has the D16z6 stock, which is a SOHC Vtec, the EJ2 (civic coupe dx) has the d15b7 SOHC non-vtec.

Your car has the Vtec Engine, Or atleast it came from the factory fitted with one. However most stock 92-95 Civics dont come stock with Vtec Engines,

Just the Coupe EX, Sedan EX, and Hatchback Si Trims come with Vtec Engines. I guess the Hatch Vx comes with Vtec-E But thats not real Vtec so it doesn't really count.

#103120 The valve cover saying vtec is not always a dead ringer my car is a 92 si and the valve cover is plain just says honda. mainly just look for the position of the spark plugs whether on top (non-vtec) or on bottom (vtec) or at least that is AFAIK
