1.5T 1.5T with real VTEC. It's true

[CivicChina]

I thought it was all marketing, but a 1.5t with real VTEC came out! It is the L15BN: 194 PS, 260 Nm installed on the new 10th gen Accord in China:

Sorry, the article is in Chinese but it is very detailed with clear pictures and google translate can help (me too)

English version of the Chinese spec Accord 1.5Ts...

Note the high powered version L15BN if you convert matches the power output of the US model Accords, so don't get too excited. 192/192 after conversion.

What if you couple the VTEC integration with a Ktuner or any tune? Sounds good to me!

It is very strange that nobody has read this Chinese article, there are many discussions that talk about fuel dilution

That vetc is probably why theirs have the dilution issue and the us ones don't.

why do you say that? do you think we already have the updated version?

I wonder if a transplant would be possible, or if VTEC is simply a part of the engine?

FYI, the USDM Accord has the same configuration as described below. We've known for quite some time per the links.

the CTR VTEC is just the exhaust cam. there is no VTEC on the intake cam because as everyone knows.. turboooooo! so really its just half the VTEC it used to be.

Man I wish Honda added that intake VTEC cam. Would be nice to hear a loud VTEC crossover.
