Gunmetalef 26-Aug-2004 03:19 PM

Yes you can hear it. Well I can with my CAI. Its much louder when vtec kicks in.

For my 04' si, it kicks in around 3000 rpms. I feel hardly any difference.

Brett 28-Aug-2004 12:48 AM

sounds like with the SOHC motors the VTEC is not noticable while with the DOHC it is. btw mine kicks in @5400rpm

Notorious 28-Aug-2004 01:18 AM

Mines about 54000 rpm..

imported_bevboyy 28-Aug-2004 01:38 AM

H22 is the bomb....

imported_loudsubz 28-Aug-2004 02:23 PM

Chigga1 28-Aug-2004 02:56 PM

oh my gosh the Vtec engagement on a H22 is like a SNAP CRACKLE AND THE POP.

You CANNOT hear d-series vtec. I dont care what you say, u cant hear it.

My b-series vtec kicks in at 5200, its quite noticable.

imported_loudsubz 29-Aug-2004 01:44 PM

i could hear my old d16y8 vtec so either your hard of hearing or the engine had no vtec :p

if you punch the throttle fast its hard to hear but if you accelerate slower you can hear the switchover

ADR3NLYN_EK 29-Aug-2004 06:18 PM

yeah you can definetly hear the vtec on d series motors...

imported_Nicotine 30-Aug-2004 01:14 AM

b16a = 5500 for me....

redline_vtec 31-Aug-2004 06:49 PM

type r kicks in at 5800!!
