The non-TEC SOHC is an F22a something, not F22B :)

But yes, 2 different engines in the 5th gen

You sure? I was positive that the non-VTEC was an 'a' engine

Maybe we get some different engines or something

i think the vtec point is 3.5k, but at 2.5k there is a surge in the torque

That's called an open diff :)


but at 2.5k there is a surge in the torque

Sure thats not just your AC switching off to reduce the load on the engine? I doubt the SOHC VTEC will be engaging at a mere 2.5K.

Nah mate, with or without AC on. The engine comes alive at 2.5k, under that is gutless. The vtec point is about 3.5k i believe and the difference there is less apparent than at 2.5k

3Kw difference?

You gotta be joking...

poid

nope its not a joke, the real benefits should be in fuel economy.

These are economy vtec's, not performance :)

vtec was originally actually developed by Honda in Indy Car for better fuel economy, so the story goes

heh my vtec kicks in at 3.5-4k.
i thought they were spose to kick in higher than that, i only realised wen i got new CAI etc.

F22B1 are found in the 5th Gen SOHC VTEC's
F22B3 are found in the 5th Gen SOHC 16 Valve Non VTEC

F22A/F22Ax are Found in Prelude S and the 4th Gen Accords
i.e Accord EXi

Although there are F22A DOHC engines, ive only seen them in local import junk yards...
