I was wondering for the people who have the JDM D15B engine in their cars (or not) when the VTEC engagement kicks in? I am getting a swap very soon but want to know when it kicks in so I can test if it's working...Or anyone know a diff way of testing?

Thanks!

its hard to really tell when the vtec but it starts to pull around 5000 rpm. Try wiring up a vtec lite so when yoiur vtec engages, it lights up. U can even test it by not wiring up the vtec, taking it for a spin, then wiring the vtec up and taking it for another spin and see if u can tell a difference

You'll hear the engine get a lil louder but as for performance.. doubt you'll feel much..

I've felt it... or heard it I should say it's easier to hear if you have a short ram... just stick a cone filter at the end of your throttle body and go for a boot. at VTEC, it should go a little something like this:

vrooooooommmm....VROOOOOOM haha

H22 vtec kicks in at 5250 RPM...It is probably a similar number on the D series.

With the intake and the header it is loud...as for the power, eh it is not as impressive as it sounds.

compared to the D vtec H vtec is killer

i can hear it on my buddys d series.. it is loud considering he has no exhaust.. mine is mad loud cuz i got a loud azz muffler... but it kicks in at 44 or 45 00 rpms stock (i think) ecu??

It might not make much of a difference in a prelude, but in a civic, it really does feel like a small turbo kicks in!

It does push you back a bit in the lude too, but I'm really disliking the front end lift I'm getting at max torque. It is not converting the road the way I would like it to.

We can't hear or feel the V tec kick in on my buddy's D series motor... with aftermarket full exhaust...

Heh. Thanks guys. I guess I need to get my license soon! I guess I will ride with my dad and ask him to floor it.

haha

d 15 doesn't have vetc, only d16s have vetc. i think. also, should not never ever use cone filter in a vetc engine couz it doesn't give and performance to the engine. you can see form JGTC, THERE IS NO VETC ENGINE USEING THE CONE FILTER.

that's cuz you need JIC Magic coilovers or some Fightex or Ohlins *drool*
