Wouldn't that legally have to show up in the title?

Quickest way to know is pop the hood... if it says vtec on the valve cover in big raised lettering... you'll know you have an engine swap.
Nope, been in there already.

The vtec was the EX and Si models's performance package, and it got significantly poorer fuel economy. The vtec-e was the fuel economy version of vtec, and it had significantly less power. If you had vtec-e... the valve cover will likely have those letter embossed in it.
Nope again. Well I'm baffled then, as to why it seems so much assertive and smoother. Will have to look into it more.
