At what RPM does it kick in because I cant feel it :oops:
its a VTi model by the way :D
it changes depending on how hard you push it i think
form memory its around 2500-3700 depending . . .
Pete :)
So if I hold it flat it will come on at 2500??
will vtec point change?
that's new to me
also u will hardly hear unless u get exhuast done i think....
also dun expect Vtec on Jazz will fit as exciting as B series Vtec
6000rpm? Man that's just before redline....
You won't really feel it or hear it with an exhaust...I never could. You can sort of pick it up with a pod filter attached, but even then it's pretty hard to tell on WOT.
From my experience, it seems to come on between the 4,000-4,500 mark. I can't be any more exact until I get the V-AFC2 wired up.
dunno what motor the Jazz Vti has, but in my EG Vti, I have noticed it kicks in at about 4800 rpm or so....D16Y SOHC VTEC.
ok i haevnt looked up the honda website so it may say somethign different but . . .
from a fast fours article i ripped out, page 20, (so i dont know what issue) they road tested a vtis cvt 7 speed.
Under the fast facts it says:
anyway ive been in the car wiht one of my friends and if you listen really carefully you can hear it. we were doing this whilst accelerating slowly and it did kick in around the 3600 mark. so maybe if you did accelerate quickly it would kick in at teh 2300 mark, not sure.Quote:
Induction: VTEC between 2300 and 3600rpm
as for vtec kicking in around 6000rpm :shock: :? the redline is about 6300rpm and the rev cut about 6700 or 6800rpm from memory.
Pete :)
lol
if u are first time driving a honda, i will say NO, u will hear vtec shouting LOUDLY especially once u change exhuast and intake
even single vtec EG will hear it
I swear I can't hear it man (not all the time)....it just sounds like any other car with a pod or a zorst on it...
I'll have to pay special attention to it next time I take it out.

For VTEC kicking in, i dont know what it is but there is a slight howling noise that starts to develop at bout 3600rpm.
i guess you could buy one of those vtec gauges, the light lights up when vtec is on, they even got em for jazz. Im at work so cant look up the link but they are roughly around $90 from memory
I don't know about Jazz but VTEC at 3600rpm seems way too early. My Prelude's VTEC kicks in at 5500rpm.
