But if your coolant is keeping the oil too cool it wont activate, will it? I also thought that VTEC wouldn't switch to the high cam when the engine is cold as a safety feature.

i got an 98 integra vtir last week and i thrashed it for the first time and i dont think vtec kicked it. whats going on? i dont notice any change in power or anything it just revs up smoothly to 8k rpms.
I don't intend to, normally five minutes is heaps, but this time I got to the bottom of a long hill, at the intersection below decided to give some berries and nothing to show, obviously I noticed immediately and barely hit 5k and looked at the gauge and realised what happened.
so how fast should my car be if it hits vtec? cause im kinda new dis is my first car and i dont know how it should perform
Overall speed wont change,
If you have a stock airbox take the top cover off and let the car warm up.
Once its completely warm go in 2nd gear and at roughly 6kish youll hear vtec kicking in (deeper sound).
If you can put your phone on the dash and close all the windows so we dont have air causing sound and record the sound.
i dont think i can do it today its raining im on my l's and my mum will know if ive taken da car out cause when she gets back it will be all wett... butt ill try it the next time i take itt outt
Make sure the car is warmed up otherwise vtec doesnt work.
well then ive hit it a few times... it feelss gud lol
