Honda’s B18C brought VTEC — variable valve timing and lift — to the Integra. Below the switchover it behaves like a calm everyday engine; above it, a second, more aggressive cam profile takes over and the engine screams towards its redline. That moment, the famous “VTEC kicking in”, became a part of car culture.
In the Integra Type R DC2 it was hand-finished, with ported heads and lightened internals, making 200 PS from 1.8 litres — remarkable for a naturally aspirated engine of its time. The back print draws the B18C in engraved white ink, a tribute to Honda’s high-revving heart.
