Rep Power: 0 << the HX have the VTEC-E... its not really a true VTEC. under 2500 only 1 intake valve opens anything above and its like a normal non-VTEC engine. >>
WTF? Now here's a crack head. Uhm do you know anything about the last 16 years of Honda's 16v engines? Well, do you know about 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves for every cylinder, one primary, one secoundary for each intake/exhaust. The primary and secoundary have pistons in the rocker arm which gets oil pressure via the rockershaft, via the vtec solinoid, which is controlled by the ECU. Well, I have better things to do, later.

Rep Power: 0 I am going to just get my own manual, I was thinking maybe someone with a HELMS manual would post some info. For all you retards saying I can feel it at 4k-4.5k rpm, you are just feeling max torq output. The automatics have a lower switchover point because they have a more closer cam lobe spec. So having the cross over at a lower rpm is smoother. With the manuals the vtec lobe is more significant and needs a higher rpm cross over for less lag and faster acceleration. I know it's more than 5k rpm and less than 5.6k rpm. Fuel cutoff is at 7,200 rpm. But like I said at the top, I'm going to just get my own damn manual. Thanks for all the posts though!

First of all you obviously don't know your facts...second I have posted on this subject many times...search for it... I know they have 16 valves And I know how VTEC works...but VTEC-E on the HX is different then the regular SOHC VTEC. For the last freaking time. Get your information right.

Rep Power: 0 Guys, I got a vtec controller and it shows that it opens Not all the times, depends on some factors, but if you are in first gear, it opens at +-3500. Not at 4000,4500,5000 or what ever. Other way to check it is hooking a led into the vtec wire. If you are in neutral, vtec won't open. Again it depends on driving conditions. There is not a pre-set engagement point! See it by your self! hook a 12v bulb or a voltmeter to the vtec wire to see what I am saying.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Yeah that kinda makes me mad...but oh well i guess as long as we know we have it...I don't think its that great anyways, I would rather have a stock turbo on like a eclipse or something over the VTEC.

Rep Power: 0 Well if you want to feel the vtec engagement then buy a Toda, Jun, or a Crower cam with the largest profile you are willing to cope with.
