Hi everyone, I am interested in purchasing a Vtec controller for a 97 2.2 cl. Any idea where I could buy a good one? What about the Venom ECU Module that are for sale on Ebay? Thank you for your help.

 

you can buy one from me

i work at a place called carolina performance, shoot me a email and let me know what you want (keithlynch35@hotmail.com)

Vtec? Our cars have Vtec?

 

WTF??

what r u trying to say? yes our cars have vtec, but you can't fel or hear it for some reason. (except on the 3.0's)

 

yeah why cant you feel or hear ares that is messed up?

 

the disappointment we feel for acura using a SOHC motor rather than A DOHC

 

dissappointment for Honda motors actually. So sad. Someone with a lot of money do a conversion to DOHC HAHAHA

 

Huh? I dont know about you but I can definitly feel and hear vtec scream on my 2.2CL Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa compliments to AEM SRI.

 

woo hoo i get to hear my vtec scream with a dual cam 2.2

 

i got an AEM CAI and ive used a SRI and the VTEC , isnt nothing compared to a b16c, b18c and an H22
not even comparable

 

ummmm no you can't:pfawk: seriously bro ur crazy if you think you can hear vtec on our cars.

so, what rpm does ur vtec kick in at??:P
oh yeah it doesn't. It just gets louder at high rpms and you probably think thats vtec

have you ever driven in an h22,si,gsr,rsx or type r?? then you'll hear vtec and you'll agree with me that you can't here ours.

 

BTW-the apexi VAFC is not compatable with the F2.x. ASk apexi and chdeck on the chart that comes with it.

Niedejb had one on his 2.2, but I imagine it was only to adjust air/fuel for his boost.

 

If I were you I wouldnt ask Apex anything. When I called a while ago they said it didnt even work with our 3.0 or atleast they werent aware of it. I had to get the wiring diagram from a local body shop and hook it up. Luckly it worked on the first try.

 

vtec on f22, d-series is economy vtec

vtec on shish like b18s and b16s and h series is for more sporty driving

 

they probably just didn't know what motor the cl had. if you told them AV6 they would have known, cause that motor is listed on the chart for the VAFC. the F-series isn't.

 

so true!

our CL's were never designed to be a sport car. they were designed for ride and style. i am willing to bet that when Acura conceptualized this car prior to the 97 release the target audience was not people who wanted a fast car, but more of a luxurious ride and a sporty <i>look</i> at an economical price.

this was as always my opinion and i'll admit that it might be wrong.

sorry to get off topic.

 

Your not wrong. This I'm sure is exactly right. Just look at our cars. Woodgrain. VTec but only SOHC. 3.0s don't even have an optional manual tranny. Our cars are not designed to be quick racey cars, they are luxury coupes. However, drop an h22 in then you have a quick racey car hehe.

 

true about oursa, but have you ever been in a 5 speed ex?? the vtec is just like a b16, except it doesn't pull quite as hard. Sounds the same tho. And always kicks in at the exact rpm every time. Ours just gradually get louder

 

I drove my friends F23 Accord yesterday. While I didn't notice much change in the sounds except the obvious fact that it was revving higher, I could feel VTEC engage in 1st gear while stomping on it.

 

I had a freind with an f22 Accord that had an Apexi vafc. He had Vtec engagement at 5000rpm and w/header you could hear it. H22's are known to have the loudest Vtec engagement. My H has 11:1 compression and has one of the loudest Vtec engagement's me and most of my friends have ever heard.

 

My friends R with AEM CAI oh my god shit is crazy! I was driving it and hit vtec through this tunnel...amazing. Its also cool when u drive past cars the vtec bounces and echos.

 

yeah my friends b16 brx w/ CTR pistons has the meanest Vtec! it's still slow tho.

All I know is that vtec does not "engage" at any point in my F23

 

Mark is that stock compression, if not what pistons are you using? You said you had the Euro-R Accord H22 engine right?

 

Yes, that is stock for a type-R motor. The (internal casting)on the block, the pistons, cams, head, fuel rail, fuel injectors, intake manifold, throttlebody, transmission, are all different on type-R's. That goes for any type-R, not just H22's. Thats why many people put the type-R internals and other goodies in their motors, bucause their the shit.

 

The should tell you that I was referring to the fact that Vtec is not very evident. I was being facetious, but apparently that fact was lost in the argument....and I didn't mean to "hijack" the thread.

 

yeah my brother has a stick EX...its economy Vtec made for good gas mileage

 

oh ok
