when does VTEC kick in?

[RMN15N]

i didnt read the whole thread just answering the question.. vtec kicks in about 4500 rpm
but it varies due to air n fuel

[G-nos]

done.

k20 apparently ezy to hit 10s. plus its also gana depend on the driver.. and mate i just got my manual car so just starting at the moment but im pretty sure by the time ig et that k20 i can go hard on it.. hehehe.. love my car.. far out.. hahah

[tRipitaka]

k20 hits 10s easily ?


where did you get your resources from ?

[aaronng]

To hit 10.5 with a 200hp K20a, your car will need to weigh 896 lbs. That's 406kg....... Heck I think even a clubman is heavier than that!

[G-nos]

i got sources from US..

they have EGs doing 10s ezy...

K20'z very popular... in US.. if u get a k20 now without doing any internals. an EG will do ezy 12s.

[MR COUPE IT]

the kick in point of a sohc vtec is 5400 rpm and a red line of around 7200rpm but optimum gear change is at 6900rpm so set up 2 shift lights at these points and your sweet

[VTi_b0i]

20grand to do 10s? now that im not sure about... your gona have to do a fair bit of work to the motor, weight reduction and sussie and anchors for it to be safe/drivable...
Are u willing to spend 20+ grand on ur eg? when at the end off the day u will loose alot of money
As for kick in of VTEC in a d16y1, mine kicks in at 5100 (but not for long ) but no one has said the same thing lol

[krogoth]

yeh man, gettin ur car to pull 10s is gonna b hard, even with a k20

ur sources in the U.S say its easy coz over there they like, "shit, u only spendin $20k to do up yoor car??? thats nothin!, I just spent $100k on my 1967 mustang"

i rekon with basic mods(piping, extractors, pod, ecu, etc) after a k20 transplant, ull prob pull 12.8-13.1s, i dont think ull get somethin less than that unless u start doin crazy stuff, like TT, LOL

but i stand corrected

umm... there's a bit of difference there! u both talking same engine?

[silver_screen]

X over on the DOHC is 6000rpm (atleast it is on friends ITR) and redline is 8500 from memory ( his is 9500)

SOHC is 5400RPM with 7200 redline.

G-NOS, 10s on an NA Motor or Boosted?

To do 10s on an NA Motor, you will need to have really deep pockets.

Boosted, more possible.
