in your cluster there is an empty slot, anybody ever do the light that comes on when the v-tec is engaged? i searched and people talked about it but no one ever followed up.who?what?where?when?why?how?i'm interested in doing this if anyone has info.

 

never done it, but it shouldnt be hard. When the VTEC engages, it has a signal. Just tap into that wire and run one to the cluster, and put in a light.

 

what kind of light? do they sell a v-tec thing i can insert so it lights "v-tec" also do you know what wire? where would you start?

 

that would raise the rice level to maximum capacity...

 

what you can do is look at your tach and at 5500 you can yel ding and there is your vtec engagement light sound what ever you want.

 

yeah and its vtec not v-tec.

 

damn

 

god damn you should banned...






























jk but thats totally rice

 

ahahha true true.

 

It has been done, I saw a writeup a while back how to do it.

 

if you ask me, the idiot lights are to warn of a problem... or tell you that your turn signal or high beams are on... so when you floor it and the light comes on, people are gonna think you have a problem.

An in cluster shift light would be ok, if you have a manual... but thats about it if you ask me.

 

speaking of shift light...i remember seeing this 06-02 Honda Civic AUTOMATIC with a shift light.

 

I like seeing those big ole tacs on cars that already have a tac in the cluster....Nothing like knowing twice that your about to bounce off the redline.

 

Thats why I said in the cluster on a manual... I see too many 92-95 civic DX autos around here with 10" tachs and shift lights. If it was in the cluster and actually set to be usefull I think it would be slick.

 

There's a lot of auto ricers around here with bigass tacs on their dashes, I saw one on an auto tiburon with one of those buy a vinyl decal from us and you can say we "sponsor you" and he pulled up next to me tryin to flex, I just pointed and laughed my ass off I swear it was the BIGGEST tac i've ever seen in my life, bigger than dragster cars i shit u not

 

the bigger the more power.

i dont know what their thinking when they put those tac and shit light on an automatic. somebody wasn't in line when God was giving out brains.

 

let me guess... APC?

 

VTEC is to be heard and felt..

Waste of money if you ask me.

 

you can kinda hear and feel it on a 3.0

 

Yeah...When my 99 3.0 Vtec kicks in, you feel it. I've never ridden in a 2.2 or 2.3 so I wouldn't know how much you would feel it in a four banger....

 

oh the S2000 4 banger, u will really feel it. oh and the H22 too.

 

I have a VTEC engagement light... oh wait, it's part of the VAFC2 so it's not rice.

 

 

i have a 2.3.... and i noticed that when i rev the engine passed 5500 RPM's the engine makes noise....at first i thought it was my air intake box that was lose or something and rattling...but now i thinking its the VTEC....is this true??

 

i dunno but i thought vtec engaged at about 4500 RPMs

 

i was reading "sportcompactcar" it said if there arent three lobes per cylinder on the intake and exhaust cams it's not real V-TEC no matter what honda says. how many lobes do we have ? or does that apply only to DOHC?

 

H22 for sure, you can hear it especially with a CAI.

 

the vtec point on a 3.0 is 3800rpm

 

Na you guys are all wrong the light adds at least 15 hp... haha im sure there are many other things you can waste your time and money on that will actually benefit you!

all ricers should go to hell!

VTAC YO !!!

 

da troof

 

does a 5 spd 2.2 have vtec? whenever i wot the rpm gauge does not jump really fast like other vtec hondas and acuras (auto)....

 

open your hood of the car... does it say vtec on the valve cover??? < thats the answer to your question!




noobs.......

 

You dug up a 5 month old thread to add this? I feel this thread is more complete and informative now that you've spoken.

 

double post ftw i still like the vtec light idea

 

yes i kno but i dont feel the kick back like in other cars when u go open throttle.....it was more of a reference that our cars are slow...

and dont call me a noob....

 

take it easy s

and yes we have vtec that is just useless...

kinda like buying an 3.0CL
