Buddyclub vtec controller

[tangyoonee]

I was planing to put buddyclub vtec controller on my D16y but many pple said it won't do anything.
Has anyone used it b4.
It'd be nice to hear some comments thanks.

Doesn't do anything except increase the bling factor. For a VTEC controller to have any gains, it would have to be used together with tuning. Something like the VAFC would be better and still let you change your VTEC point.

no point using them. Honda have put heaps of r+d into where the vtec engangment should be. It is set at the x amount of revs because that is where it is most utilised and maximum performance output. I think on a stock car you can acually loose power correct me if im wrong!

Second that, on a stock vtec motor, you will MORE than likely LOOSE power no matter where you set it.
Ur vtec will not engage as "agressively" (loosely used on a SOHC) if you set it to a lower RPM and it will be too late if you set it to a higher RPM.

Definately not something you should F around with on a stock engine!

Ok. No one has positive experience with this stuff.
thanks guys.

well on SOHC vtec kicks in on much lower RPM .. guess arround 2000 ish to 3000 ish .. much different than on DOHC which i think arround 5000 ish...

Better of getting VAFC for bling factor ROFL...

don't think its that low for SOHC VTEC, it should be around 4000ish.
I think its about 1000 RPM lower than DOHC VTEC (TYPE R is an exception).

better off saving ur money and selling the d16 and putting in some more $$$ and get a b16 in ther, will be lots of fun, and u def wont regret it

This is not true...the VTEC engagement in D16Y SOHC VTEC engine is still around 5500-5600 rpm...

i have a D16Y1 (SOHC VTEC) engine with very mild mods (I/H/E), and uses VAFC (tuned) to have better air/fuel ratio...

so r u going to get engine conversion soon?

note: D16 SOHC VTEC > D17 SOHC non-VTEC

>.< my F22B vtec kicks on at 3200 somewhere arround there... stock with VAFC un tune (ie. by looking at the light :)) .. well flat footed though...

I did Hooked up with VAFC2 few years back, pretty nice gadgets increase 15ish hp on wheels from tune with I/H/E mods.

but now run different set up .. and letting the vtec engagement to be stock for turbo .. =.=
Sums up, well i guess different engine has different vtec kick in style :p

lol, i VERY much dought it

stock for stock, the d17 will more than definetley give the d16 SOHC a run and a half

and no, im not getting an engine conversion for 2 reasons syd, which i think u already know

1. i dont plan on modding the engine AT ALL, coz i think thers no point

2. the only engine conversion that is available to me is a k20 or k24 transplant and that will cost MUCH MUCH more than a b16 into an eg

[rayb3na_]

why is a k series the only option?

[Sydsyd]

cos his ES civic is built late 2001/early 2002, which means he can't put B18C from any DC2(R) that was last produced sometime in 2001 (i think)...

[blk_shadow]

This is not true...the VTEC engagement in D16Y SOHC VTEC engine is still around 5500-5600 rpm...


hmm...that is weird, cos from Sendok, he said it actually kicks in about 1000 RPM sooner than DOHC, he has a VTi EG as well.

actually, my car is 05 build syd

and im pretty sure the dc2rs wer replaced in 02, will have to double check though

and the Ks are a direct fit for me..

[040501912]

YEP ES civic direct fit with K20's ..

actually Honda Thai made them ... ES Civic Sedan 2.0 .. which equipped with k20 from factory ...
