so far I've only been able to find this little piece from an article
SOHC VTEC implemented for power is often mistaken as SOHC
VTEC-E which is implemented for economy. It is worthwhile
to note that the 1.5l SOHC VTEC-E used in the JDM Honda
Civic ETi produces 92ps. This is in fact less than that
produced by the standard 1.5l SOHC engine's 100ps which
uses dual Keihin side-draft carburetors. SOHC VTEC in the
D15B produces 130ps. This is 30% more than the standard
SOHC implementation !
I didn't even know about the D15's or some D series having carburetors, or some sort of carburetors. Well we allways learn something new every day.
(ahem, even though I don't care fo the D series any more, sike I miss my little D16Z6
)
the whole article can be found here
Check page 6 for the whole carburetor thing.
