after 4500 RPM

in the 3.0....you hear a louder sound pretty much....valves open largeer

 

i tink....soryr i took nyqul and its kncoking me out

 

the nyquil is working zzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

 

sadly, you cant really tell in our cars

 

V-TEC BABY!

 

yeah, it's noticable with a CAI. My car get's HELLA loud after abotu 4000-4500 rpms. It's sweet. I need to get a chip now.

 

why does everyones vtec kick in at 4000 or higher? mine kicks in at 3500 on a 99 3.0. i am not complaining but just wondering

 

i here mine around 4

 

Cruise on the free way at around 60 mph then agressive add gas dont ROMP IT down to hell and charge out but slowly / agressively when u pass 4k RPM u will notice a mild change in power and noise.

 

chip doesn't work for our cars

 

i noticed my vtec kick in this one time when going down to LA on I-5... i was going about 100, then i was taking it to 110 and the RPM's dropped all of a sudden and made a loud sound... its pretty cool..

my friend says if u gun the car.. vtec ususaly kicks in... dont really know though.. he drives a civic..

 

HOLY SHIT

LEGENDARYCL98 IS ON

DOOD WHERE HAVE U BEEN

 

thats what i said like 10 days ago i joined when he had like 500 posts..now look !

 

mine goes in at 4 k and i can deff notice it

 

vtec is like a good loogey in the morning..

its well apretiated when it rises from below.

gotta love that vtec

 

Aint that some shit. I don't see what the big deal with VTEC is anyways. It's barely noticable to me, but thats' just me. Well, damn.. now I just need to get som headers next, then a catback (this one looks nice..) then I'll be done. MIGHT get nitrous, but probably not. I'm gonna need this car for quite a while.

 

The DOHC VTEC "kick" from a B18C5 and H22 are quite different than our SOHC F22/23....

 

what;s up with those engines anyways? Are those the japanese counterparts or something like that? the H22 is for teh 4cyl and the b18C5 is V6? What's going on here?

 

lol....b18c is the gsr motor...it s 4 cylinder.....

 

b18c5 i believe is a type-R motor 190hp

 

notice i didnt include the 5 in there

 

word, when i had my f22 i couldnt feel shit.

 

195hp

 

honda insight for life

 

wait, so we just sorta got teh short end of the vtec stick then? aint that some more shit.

 

 

till gas prices go back down that is... then i would rock the cl again.

 

Vtec kicks in at 4500 rpm's with the 3.0 stock. It wont kick in any earlier unless you did something to your car like get a vtec controller and had it set to kick in earlier. Just because your intake getz louder, does not mean your vtec kicked in.....

As for the f22/23 motors, i dont know when it kicks in...

 

no mine kicks in at 3500 you can feel it and hear it big time.

 

put it on the dyno....

 

vtec kicks in at 3500 on the 3.0. It doesn't kick in higher like the others cause we don't redline nearly as high as they do.

you can definately feel/hear it if you have an intake

 

thatz what i use to think, untill i took it to the shop....

 

Until you took it to the shop? Are you running a VAFC or anything?


Vtec definately kicks in at 3500

 

yea, i have the vafc...it engages at 3800 now......but use to kick in at 4500.....i pmed you by the way, so i can show you the dyno sheet...

 

sent...you got mail....

 

Well, on my 97 3.0, after the intake, the car goes from a low "vroom" to at exactly 4000 RPMs, it changes to a high pitched "wahhhhhhhhh". Or something similar. You can tell, it sounds like a whole different engine. I don't remember what it sounded like before the intake...

 

and checked, I definately crossover at 3500

 

my f23 kicked in at 4200, now my h22 is at 5800

 

i took out my airbox, and when im in 2nd and floor it, you def hear a diff when it hits 4k rpm
