When does Vtec kick in on a TL-S?
I know this question may have been answered before but I couldn't find the answer from searching the forums. Does anyone know? Not to sound arrogant but only reply if you KNOW the answer. I've only been getting guesses from people (including techs at acura) but I really really wanna know.

I believe both the Type S and TL-P engage around the same time. Around 4K ish.
VTEC doesn't not engage around 3,700, that's for sure. There is no Honda VTEC engine out there that engages that low.

3800 is when the plenum opens up on the dual stage intake. VTEC at 4800, but I got that from here. I don't have the Helm manual, yet.
My '95 Accord EX will engage VTEC between 2300-3200rpm, dependent on throttle position, etc. This straight out of the Helm Manual.

The VTEC kicks in right under 5000, i think at 4850 or something. I've got an Injen CAI in my car, and you can actually hear the point where it kicks in, cause the car fcuking roars. If i'm wrong someone correct me, but i've checked on this before, and this was also an observation of mine

I can't believe this...NONE of you guys should be guessing! If you haven't read it from the forums (ATL, ACL, AW) already, at the very least you guys can click and read the ACURA website.
As the engine accelerates through 4400 rpm (4800 rpm on Type-S), the intake rocker arms transition to actuation by high-lift, long-duration cam lobes designed to optimize high-rpm output.

I was just going to check the Acura site. I knew it was 4800RPM for the Type-S... but I wanted to provide a link. Good call.....
Oh, and the actuator actually opens at 4100rpm. Don't have a link for that... but you can test this yourself. Have someone rev the car while you're looking under the hood, and at 4100rpm you'll see the actuator click open.

check your manual or the website
I agree, come on guys if you really care so much bout your car you should know these things or at least take the time to look up the info, not hard to find.
there's also this...
"As the engine speed exceeds 3,800 rpm, a butterfly valve opens, allowing air to rush into the combustion chamber"

Thanks for the PROOF. Just a suggestion but I think moderators should put this on the FAQs page so people like me don't have to ask this question again......include the link too.

For now you can check out the CL FAQ which has all of this info
