I know this was talked about last year sometime, I can't find any threads on it though. Has anyone actually done this mod? If so pictures/instructions?

Hobo

I see you already have a CAI so you can already HEAR it, why do you need to SEE it ???

mclarenf3387

4900 RPM

No light needed.

Red-CL

Actually it's.....

Type S: 4800 RPM
Type P: 5500 RPM

mclarenf3387

Woops. What do I know about you slow Type S'

JaredGMS

CL-p is at 4500

notcreative

is there anyway to make v-tech kick in any eairler? like 4000 rpm, if so would it have any gains?

Dan

Maybe it can be setup to trigger the underbody neon lights when it hits vtech?

JaredGMS

perhaps the Apexi V-tec controller (I have no idea how it works)....

^^^ :ROFL:

I love seeing vtec spelled wrong twice in the same post.

yes, you can change the VTEC engagement time, but it's probably already set at the optimal rpm. Some other honda's are not set at the best rpm time, BUT once you do several mods to the car, you MAY need to change the vtec engagement rpm to a different setting for optimal performance.

ou sig

there is no way the regular TL or CL's engage VTEC that late...I can hear the engine sound change at about 3800RPM - no way its 5500 RPM - the TLP redline is about 6300RPM...so 800RPM for VTEC??? I dont think so.

WILLDOGS

I have video of my CL-P Hitting vtec at about 4500-4700 rpm . YOu can def hear it

ou sig

who knows, I just know that when I accelerate moderately, once I hit 3800RPM's, I can hear and feel the engine kick it up a notch

SMR Type S

Now that's what I call an IDIOT LIGHT!

goldmemberer

Maybe you can install a light that tells you when your car is on right next to the VTEC indicator light.

WILLDOGS

4500 RPM sorry

My source was the Chod's FAQ's.

Could've been mistyped though. I don't have a CLP to verify.

Blah blah blah, who needs a VTEC indicator light? The only reason I have one is because it's built into the V-AFC II. Goes from green to red when VTEC engages. Totally useless, though, in my opinion. I much rather prefer hearing it.

ou sig

ya you can deffinately hear it at 4500 rpm on yours...but I have that exact sound/feel at about 3800rpm on my '99TL. I thought I read somewhere that the VTEC engagement point changed for the '00-'03 TL's so it may be different for the CL's also

my vtec comes on at 5500. is that bad?

mrsteve

You can feel and hear VTEC engage in my car. It throws you back in the seat more and in 1st gear, the tires break loose from time to time. I can't hear VTEC engage from the engine though. Blower whine covers up all engine noise.

ou sig

I want blower whine!!!

BTW - I'm pretty sure (95%) that the '99TL's VTEC kicks in at 3800RPM because others have said the same thing on the TL site

I have three lights on pillar post1( light V-tec control)lets me know when i hit V-tec
2 (light fans )lets me know when fans come on
3 (shift light ) comes on lets me know when to shift

Poisx7
It all started with the shift light after installing it I thought well why not tie in V-tec controler now a yellow light lets me know when it kicks in and fan light lets me know how cool my engine is running if light isnt on less volts being pulled.By the way my best run is 14.10@100.07 on 11-9-02 temp was 43% humdity was 43% at union grove wi. If I new how to down load I could show you the copy of the ticket If you email me I can mail it to you plus 6 pages of my add ons.

VTEC people, VTEC.
Type-S VTEC changeover occurs at 4800 RPM's

Even without a AEM CAI, if you know your engine you can still hear it change over.

johntypes

I am very hard of hearing,but you can feel it. I cant go any faster since I have every bolt on from comptech, so NOS IS NEXT my HP is 240.06 and torque is 199.9 so I think a 75 shot should get me into the low 13's

vtec for the CL-S is at around 5K but i think it's 4900 to be exact. the reason why you feel a punch aroudn the 3K rpm range is because the torque on the CL is rated to be the highest in that area.

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

VTEC is 4800 rpm on the CLS.

And torque is pretty flat throughout the powerband. Torque might be highest at 3000 rpms but it doesn't fall by more than 5 anywhere throughtout.

Which make is best for CAI?
