It's probably just an adapted engine that has been custom made I suppose with different parts?

vtec is something to do with the way the engine works at a certain revs but I dont know how it works etc.


GSI stands for Grand Sport Injection

They are very rarely 'just' a tag, they usually mean something

Bit ot but that Manta was in Denmark last weekend at a big car show! Did a couple of nice 10 sek runs down the 1/4mile and the sound of the turbo+supercharger engine was bloody amazing!

Just felt like sharing the experience!
