i think the vtec point is 3.5k, but at 2.5k there is a surge in the torque

That's called an open diff

Sure thats not just your AC switching off to reduce the load on the engine? I doubt the SOHC VTEC will be engaging at a mere 2.5K.

Nah mate, with or without AC on. The engine comes alive at 2.5k, under that is gutless. The vtec point is about 3.5k i believe and the difference there is less apparent than at 2.5k

3Kw difference?

You gotta be joking...

**poid** · 21-09-2003 02:23 PM

nope its not a joke, the real benefits should be in fuel economy.

These are economy vtec's, not performance

vtec was originally actually developed by Honda in Indy Car for better fuel economy, so the story goes

heh my vtec kicks in at 3.5-4k.
i thought they were spose to kick in higher than that, i only realised wen i got new CAI etc.

i got a VTEC installed on my car...
the VTEC solenoid kicks in around 2.5-3k revs..

i also got an auto..

F22B1 are found in the 5th Gen SOHC VTEC's
F22B3 are found in the 5th Gen SOHC 16 Valve Non VTEC

F22A/F22Ax are Found in Prelude S and the 4th Gen Accords
i.e Accord EXi

Although there are F22A DOHC engines, ive only seen them in local import junk yards...
