I recently bought a 1993 Honda Prelude Si with a 4 speed automatic transmission. On the back of the car it says DOHC VTEC, and the guy that sold it said it had a VTEC engine in it. Yet, it's doesn't have an emblem, logo, sign or a print anywhere on or around the engine that says "VTEC" on it. Question 1) Are there some VTEC engines that don't say "VTEC" on them or did this guy lie to me? (How do I even know if it is a VTEC?)Question 2) Does anyone know for sure whether the 1993 Honda Prelude VTECs came with automatic transmissions, or manual only? (Edmunds.com shows manual only, which is why I am even more skeptical about it being a VTEC).Question 3) Where would I find out for sure whether the engine under my hood is built on VTEC technology or is a regular Honda engine?(Any sources, websites and numbers would be very much appreciated).Thanks for all of your time and I hope that you will offer an answer based on your knowledge and not for the sake of gaining a few points!

The guy may have lied to you. But to find out for sure take it to your local Honda dealer and have a technician look under the hood for you. They will know better than anyone.
