Anyone knows?

 

I say about 3,500 rpms.

 

Depends on the water temperature and throttle position, not just RPM.

Therefore I cannot give you an exact answer!

And please, don't ask me what 0/0 is.

oh thats easy, infinity...no, zero, no undefined, uhhh, I give up

 

btw, our car has 3-stage VTEC. Anyone knows when does the 2nd stage kicks in, and when for the the 3rd stage?

 

Where you get this info from? Stock VTEC I believe comes in at around 4800RPM based on the Dyno chart that I got. With the VAFC I lowered mine to 4400.

o well, 4800 is probably the 3rd stage then. 3 stage VTEC doesn't mean an increase in performance at each stage. 1st stage is just normal, 2nd stage is the VTEC-E for gas economy, 3rd stage is the real power! Hmm... that's how honda make a car with performance and gas efficiency. Sth that could never be achieved from other brand!

 

IMO, between 4500 and 5000 rpm.

Check out the dyno chart for the 3.2 litre of the Japanese version of the TL, the Honda Inspire: http://www.honda.co.jp/INSPIRE/factbook/engine.html

 

If you guys get a types S you'll know exactly when it kicks in every single time--just listen for the symphonic howl at about 5200 RPM! J/K

Yes, it's all Japanese mumbo jumbo. The pictures still come out OK if your brower does not support Japanese text. Anyhow there are tons of technical goodies on the Honda Inspire web site, including a dyno chart of the 3.2 litre motor.

Ah, only if one of our members can read Japanese.

It really is too bad Acura does not think the American public is interested in these technical details.
