I'm No Vtec Expert either but, I'm pretty sure that 2200 is low i mean very low. All the other's Hit 5500rpm before hitting Vtec. but i could be rong as this is the i-Vtec model so i have no idea. but yeah just thought i might input my knowledge.
no expert either, but yeah. it does seem abit low. i normally shift at 2.5k so id be hitting vtec a fair bit.
but i wouldnt really be able to tell.. seeing as i dont get that vtec kick, i dunno if its any different in the auto and the manual.
I thought I read somewhere that the 2nd set of cams engage at 2200rpm is that correct?
u referring to the k24 in the VTi? that switches from 12V to 16V ops only.. activation is ard 2200 to 2500rpm, +/- a couple of hundred rpms, depending on ur driving style. no hi cam for the vti.
yes.. Vti = single cam.. correct me if i am wrong. i know that the 94 vti .. i know i know.. theres like over 10 yrs difference.. but anyways ill say this. VTEC in the 94 vti accord kicks in LOW- this is why u do not feel VTEC. usually around 3000 if that. depends on how much u step on the throttle.. if flat out.. usuallyu quite low.
K24A4- the Honda Element and Accord come in with 9.7:1 compression and 2.4 liters of displacement. The motor is rated at 160hp at 5500rpm and 161lbs-ft at 4500rpm. This motor does not use the conventional VTEC mechanism from the earlier B series motors but does have VTC. Instead it only has 2 cam lobes on the intake side and 1 on the exhaust lob. This motor has no Vtec mechanism on the exhaust cam and runs on 12 valves before 2200rpm with the other 4 slightly opening. It also has smaller ports than the Type S and Type R. The motor also comes with a 5 speed transmission instead of the 6 speed and has no LSD.
