Yes, the Acura RSX does have VTEC. The 4-cylinder K-Series engine in the RSX features intelligent VTEC or i-VTEC, which electronically adjusts valve lift, valve timing, and cam timing, resulting in a flatter torque curve and smooth power transition compared to previous VTEC implementations that only adjusted valve lift and timing. However, it’s important to note that the VTEC engagement may vary depending on the model and year of the RSX. In the 02-04 Type-S models, the VTEC engagement is at 5800 rpm stock. The base model RSX also has VTEC, but it is designed to improve gas mileage rather than performance.
