Sound of Vtec kick in

[dyljoy]

Hey, everyone, I installed the Toda header for my DC5R today, and taste it when it done, i and my friend feel its sound of Vtec kick in just gone, even push it to over 7000rpm, just can hear its catback noise. Is it normal? sorry for my such stupid Q's~Hope someone can give me some opinion, thx~

[SloTegra]

i have noticed that too - my friend owns a dc5R - toda headers - toda cams - and a RM01A catback.. his v-tec doesn't seem to be loud, but i think its like that if u compare the K series and the B series maybe cause its a different block design?

[bennjamin]

its the design of the engine ~there inst supposed to be a massive BAAAAA when vtec engages.
On the older B series motors there is a more noticeable booooooBAAAAAAA.

[dyljoy]

oic, maybe i used to head that noise already~hoho, ok, seems i have to change my taste again

[defect]

turbo sounds better :D

[Q_ball]

[Joeyboy]

Turbo + vtec = boooooBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtutututututu

ive got my CAI just behind the front bar and its quiter than it was short ram.. :(

reason to this i think is the tube is longer and further for the air flow to travel and echo ..but in short ram mode it was load as hell!!

thats the benefit of a 2 piece CAI ...take off the 2nd short tube and use as short ram! :p

The reason you don't hear the vtec crossover point in a K series when you installed your headers is because the sound of the exhaust flow is much louder than the sound of your induction roar using the stock airbox. Just put on a louder intake and you'll hear it again.

[dyljoy]

oic, thanks for ur answer, i think u are right, coz i am using Mugen airbox atm, and it is very similar as stock box's design, may exahaust sound louder than the induction roar's voice.

[TheSaint]

dont u hear the vtec kik in through the exhaust as well?

what about B series? (B18c)
im just about to go from short ram to CAI, and ill be getting a toda header + mugen twin -loop combo.... will i loose engine noise?

[DreadAngel]

Turbo + vtec = boooooBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtutututututu

Get a VTEC conversion on your engine then loser :thumbsup: :p

My mate has a full toda exhaust system and a gruppeM intake on his jdm dc5r. I nearly wet myself the first time i heard it hit vtec while in the passenger seat :P

Ben is comparing the sound difference between the B and the K in his prior post.
B's all sound "similar" - age of a specific engine doesnt mean VTEC will be louder or quieter than the same motor give or take a few thousand kms.

[NightKids]

VTEC is all in the mind. Think of the cat being strangled & you will have VTEC

[TheSaint]

all cars should have vtec... i miss it so much now =(

its just not the same anymore

[migoreng]

h22a vtec ftw! love the crossover sound ;)
pff 1.8L engines..
:P

[g_kn]

Want loud vtec ?
B16A FTW + SRI Intake +Stock Exhaust + Windows Down:p..... Merrrrp!!!

The crossover for B16A is f@&#37;n clear & noticeable

[TheSaint]

i found that a proper CAI was better than SRI for sound in my teg

it was deep like wrx than it screamed its head off =)

[RtN]

yeh my 16A2 is pretty clear crossover.. lol umm h22a my friends one is completely stock can't hear much.. maybe needs intake but yeh.. my CAI sounds cute.!!

There ya go .. B16A for loud Crossover noise :thumbsup:

[TheSaint]

from what i have found from driving allot of different model hondas...

b18c7 (teg R) > b18c5 (teg vtir) > b16a (EM1, del sol) > K20 (dc5) > modded h22 > modded k24 > h22 > d vtec > stock k24 > i-vtec and e-vtec (the fuel saving vtec, not racing vtec)

from most distinct difference for vtec crossover noise

the K motors are deffinatly screamier but have a smoother crossover, but the B motors have a more punch in vtec

the b16 is pretty screamy but lacks low end

the h22 i drove i could hardly notice it at all, and it was a very docile motor, but it had alot more torque and of course was bigger

i-vtec and e-vtec are designed for fuel saving so they not really noisy at all, and unless u got a turbo on a D series motor they are more designed at getting u to work/church and not for racing lol

[bennjamin]

FYI a vtir DC2 has a b18c2 engine.
The b18c5 is the USDM variant of the Integra type R engine.

[TheSaint]

ah lol... thanks bennjamin

its been a while since iv poked my head around in these forums... iv started taking up interest again... missed the vtec way way too much haha

Maybe your engine is about to blow up.

Maybe your engine is about to blow up.

I second that.
