Introduced
as a DOHC system in Japan in the 1989 Honda Integra XSi which used the
160 bhp (120 kW) B16A engine. The same year, Europe saw the arrival of
VTEC in the Honda CRX 1.6i-VT, using a 150 bhp variant (B16A1). The
United States market saw the first VTEC system with the introduction of
the 1991 Honda NSX, which used a 3-litre DOHC VTEC V6 with 270 bhp
(200 kW). DOHC VTEC engines soon appeared in other vehicles, such as the
1992 Acura Integra GS-R (B17A1 1.7-litre engine), and later in the 1993
Honda Prelude VTEC (H22A 2.2-litre engine with 195 hp) and Honda Del
Sol VTEC (B16A3 1.6-litre engine). The Integra Type R
(1995–2000) available in the Japanese market produces 197 bhp (147 kW;
200 PS) using a B18C5 1.8-litre engine. Honda has also continued to
develop other varieties and today offers several varieties of VTEC, such
as i-VTEC and i-VTEC Hybrid.
