VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is a valvetrain system developed by Honda to improve the volumetric efficiency of a four stroke internal combustion engine. This system uses two camshaft profiles and electronically selects between the profiles. It was invented by Honda R&D engineer Ikuo Kajitani. It can be said that VTEC, the original Honda variable valve control system, originated from REV (Revolution-modulated valve control) introduced on the CBR400 in 1983 known as HYPER VTEC. VTEC was the first system of its kind, though other variable valve timing and lift control systems have been produced by other manufacturers (MIVEC from Mitsubishi, VVTL-i from Toyota, Varioca from Porsche, VANOS from BMW, VVL from Nissan, etc). Eg: Accord VTEC , City VTEC , Civic VTEC , etc.

What the difference between small vtec and big vtec?
If im not mistaken , this can seen on the engine cover of the car... Big VTEC is normally written bigger than DOHC on the cover meanwhile small VTEC is written smaller which is smaller than DOHC writings on the cover. Big VTEC is normally b16b engine and second generation b16a engine. In addition, other engine such as h22a which can be found in honda accord 1995 and also prelude is big VTEC. Small VTEC is first generation of b16a engine and others. The VTEC engages at the certain rpm and varies for different model of engines. For example b16a big VTEC's swithover is at 5600 rpm where the valves engages. Small VTEC is underpowered compared to big VTEC and is almost can't be felt when VTEC engages. Big VTEC is very powerful, the VTEC engagement has a turbo like feel and it has 160hp or more, depends on the car. As mentioned above, the b16a engine delivers 160hp and 150Nm of torque at around 7000rpm.

What engines can you use in place of a D15Z4 without changing wiring ECU etc?
You can use any d15 series motor as long as it is not vtec. But also it isn't to expensive to switch to a d15b vtec motor you just need vtec ecu and wiring harness that can be found for about $100 on eBay. I switched my car from d15 non-vtec to d15b vtec for about $650 including the price of the motor.
Is there an easy way to tell if your 1998 acura integra has a vtec engine?

Why doesn't my 2000 Honda Civic EX have VTEC?
From the factory, a 2000 Honda Civic EX engine does have VTEC on the intake side only. It does not say VTEC on the valve cover, and in stock form you normally cannot tell that it is working, but it is there.Unless the engine has been replaced with a non-VTEC engine or you are not operating the car correctly, VTEC should be engaging at around 5000 rpm while the engine is at normal operating temperature.
