Also, the dc5r vtec engagement is across the whole rev range. From memory I think it kicks in twice? But you cannot feel it like the dc2r. Hence the term i-vtec (standing for intelligent).
Vtec in DC5 is a 2 stage Vtec and stage 2 kicks in at 6000rpm-7900rpm.
i-vtec, i stands for intelligence and it means that instead of activating the large cam lobes using traditional mechanical ways (by oil pressure build up which locks the large cam lobes to the cam shaft), it uses sensors (probably using techo reading as an input) to activate the lock the large cam lobes.
By using sensors, vtec can kick in at a perfect rpm. (Please correct me if I'm wrong 'cause I read this on a website awhile ago).
the change of cam profile is still done by using oil pressure.
it changes at ~5800rpm every time, no varience is there.
there is still only 2 cam profiles in the engine
the 'i' refers to the engine having cam phasing on the intake cam,
this can change the timing of the intake cam by upto 50deg (depending on engine varient)
depedning on a number factors to change fuel consumption etc.
dont forget that the revs that shows on in your cluster arent the exact revs, must put it on the HDS to find out the exacrt revs. I think its HDS if i can rememebr corretly from worknig at honda. quite often the revs in your clusters indicate a higher rev reading than the true revs of the engine! sooo MR DC5TYPER suck my **** lol
out of curiosity, a mate gonna look at 2004 DC5R tomorrow at the dealer.
the dealer thinks it a type R but not 100% sure now cos he also thinks it might be a normal integra but luxury model.
this car comes with the type R spoiler but it also has leather seats, fog lights and sunroof.
is this normal?
it does have 6speed. i guess we can confirm the engine number to be safe. but what if the engine is from a conversion?
what else can i check to make sure its 100% type R
is the luxury model engine number the same as the type R or different?
Type R has a different dashboard, also aluminum shift knob with red shift pattern.
Interior mats has Type R badge.
Exhaust tips has a nice metal finish if it is the type R
red H on the steering wheel
red H on the rims
go around a big roundabout n feel the lsd working
type r lip kit.
