for those who have VTEC in their cars..
what gear do u usually use to rev it up till you hit VTEC?
1 or 2?
and whilst driving in vtec mode.. if u shift up a gear to 3 .. the revs will fall.. hence no more VTEC.. and car doesnt go as fast n e more right?
plz explain ^^
also in order to engage in VTEC.. you'll have to be driving very fast, in order for the revs to go up?

sounds like you need to read up on it a little more
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeR.
wat im saying is at that specific rpm.. vtec will engage.. then when u change to a higher gear.. obviously the revs would fall.. so does that mean vtec would disengage ?
vtec is not a 'mode', it is merely a form of variable valve technology that engages at a certain rev point, regardless of gear or level of acceleration. it does not make a car 'fast'.
that said i wonder why i still reply to ur threads seriously...
as said above ur valve timming electronic controll (or vtec) engages at a certain higher rpm its the same rpm not matter wotegear or anyhting its set in ur computer in the car to activate oil pressure for it to engage, if your reving at say 7000RPM in 1st and 2nd gear then go to third, like u have in the last 2 gears it will reach a certain rpm and engage again, differnt honda engines have vtec at different rpm.. google vtec heaps off info on there about DOHC VTEC, SOHC, I-VTEC etc..
you all deserve -rep for that shit.
he obviously just doesnt understand that VTEC is just another cam profile which becomes active over a certain predetermined RPM.
ALL of them :pQuote:

^ what happens when vtec engages..?
do you feel n e difference in driving?
Sure man, it's not like a turbo kick, but the engine note completely changes from a grocery getting 4cyl to an absolute screamer!
Not so much in my type R, but in my EG (no LSD) it can sometimes spin the wheels (or wheel :) ) when it kicks in, depending on the surface i'm on.
You've really gotta experience it man, lets just say that there is a good reason that so many ppl are obsessive bout these cars!
If Honda had not released V-TEC, then i would probably not be driving one!

this thread is kinda stupid to be honest ... vtec is just a change in valve timings.. thats it.. it wont give you awesome power, just a little bit more. even if you are out of the vtec zone doesn't matter.. 2nd gear max is ~ 100 and thats in vtec, 3rd gear can go up a lot higher.
so if your racing someone u can stay in vtec but you'll be limited by your gear\speedif you do so.

There are plenty of threads on how VTEC works.
