By HO im assuming they are just trying to say High Output Vtec motor. There is no HO Vtec. The only other vtec motor that honda has is i-Vtec.

I agree, it looks like 3.2HO VTEC. i suppose back in the day, 260hp outta a 3.2 6cyl was High Output.

You guys are laughing away when the OP is correct.

The 225hp J32 that was used in the TL and CL premium was referred to as a "VTEC"

The 260hp J32 that was used in the TL type S and CL type S was referred to as a "HO VTEC".

The were the same block, but the motors in the type S cars had a higher output than the base model cars hence the High Output Vtec or HO Vtec.

Got it?

VTEC is not a power increaser, and is not the reason why the J32A2 has 35 more HP than a J32A1. hotter cams and dual stage intake plenum, less restriction in the intake and exhaust, will lead to all of that, though.

Not true, VTEC-e in the Civic HX, but essentially it's VTEC, too, so yeah.

Stupid labels...

It's why I brought it up, but it's been awhile since I've read about any of those.

I knew it was called H.O. V-tech on edmunds, kbb, ect before I got the car. I would never call it that, cos I knew it just meant High Output, not some other variant of V-tech. I wonder why no one on here heard of this before. Irrelevant really though.
