On a 2004 civic, EM2194M, canadian si coupe (american EX coupe), when does Vtec start to do its thing? I hear 4000 RPM, I hear 5000 RPM.. someone give me a solid answer. Should I feel it too?

Rep Power: 256 Hi fellow,
here is the link for my car dyno test 2003 Acura EL, manual.

It should answer your question, since eyes digest info faster..
The Vtec is not very "visible" in our cars. To me, it looks as it just flattens the TQ curve.

that because ar 4-5k rpm is the peak of our powerband. The pull you feel is the engine hitting its maximum power band not the vtec. The vtec activated at 2800-3000rpm.

Rep Power: 312 vtec on d17a2 is at 2500 full throttle and 3000 at any other time. for better mileage not better power. misconception. and there is no vtec button. and wiring the LED light could take some time to make it ENGAGE. search first.
