No. It's not.

2004+ still have beta2, but it's CVVT equiped, as well as they now have MAF sensor instead of MAP.
Hence why we call it the Beta 2.5.

CVVT is more for gas economy I think. Maybe it also plays into the Beta 2s ability to get rid of that lame 3500-4500 dip we have. Beta 2s hp/torque curves are nice and smooth...

Redz he's somewhat right. It's doesn't really kick in like V-tec, but pretty much has a the same idea behind it; it advances timing, 20 degrees over beta2, but those 20 degrees are used to burn fuel more efficiently and have a lot less polutions, which doesn't give new beta any HP increasment and actually makes it loose some, but since the curve of a new beta is a lot nice it makes the car faster smile.gif
