4cyl VTEC in Accord should not be associated with power gains with
Civic or Prelude VTEC. Accord's VTEC is for better gasmiles, not for
high rpm power.

I owned 1994 Accord LX (non VTEC) and then 1999 Accord EX (VTEC), both
4cyl. They are not powerful cars at all, I saw little to no real
difference between 1994 LX and 1999 EX engines.
