Everything else was non vtec and basically the same engine from 88' up.(with the exception of intake manifolds and the 8 valve engines)
Those were yor only options for Vtec on 2000 and older SOHC engines that were labeled as a D in the USDM.
The TODA killer cams you speak of operate on VTEC sized lobes only - there are no other lobes on them. So disabled? They are just made to operate on the Vtec sized lobes only. TODA does offer other stock style cams too. (diff grinds of course)
Your not gonna get much shorter than a set of B16a gears - they get smoked all the time by boosted d's. Even with a higher final. You cannot get around the fact that the boosted car has more power UNDER the curve. Peak power is great to brag about - but the real factor is how much of it is actually useable - and for how long in the RPM band? Dump it on REV limiter with your B. The d boosts and has an additional well, lets be conservative - 40 - 50 hp where the B does not - lets also talk about that thing called torque - Show me ANY stock N/A B that has ANY to speak of. Sorry - I own almost a dozen different Hondas. All with different combos in them. I have love for ALL of the engines, but when it comes to talking smack about what is and what isn't. I just can't stand to hear what isn't being stated as what is. (if you kept up with that - -  )

yes disabled. they aren't vtec lobes. vtec is a process. cam lobes are cam lobes. so yes vtec is disabled. vtec is the ability to switch between different lobes to optimise your powerband. so yes vtec is disabled
