Honda B engine
Encyclopedia
The Honda B-series are inline-4 DOHC automotive engines. They were made in 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, and 2.0 liter variants, with and without VTEC
VTEC
VTEC is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four-stroke internal combustion engine. The VTEC system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. It was invented by Honda R&D engineer Ikuo Kajitani, and was the first system...

The Honda B-series was replaced by the K-series
Honda K engine
The Honda K series engine is a four-cylinder four-stroke engine introduced in 2001. The K series engines are equipped with DOHC valvetrains and use roller rockers to reduce friction. The engines use a coil-on-plug, distributorless ignition system with a coil for each spark plug...
