Is this vtec normal?

my single cam AUTO vtec cross over is louder than that (no offence but im being realistic) mite wana start at a lower gear and film again.

good luck with this

As said earlier (I guess you didn't read the thread), this is due to your engine being a 1.6L and therefore producing less torque at the low-end, so when your auto VTEC kicks in bro there's a bigger 'jump' in torque. Because the B18C makes more torque the 'jump' is less noticeable and so the VTEC crossover is smoother.

This is why B16A's also have a loud crossover.

single cam = very quiet

single cam = very quiet

My D16Y1 is very distinguishable, but the tone is not as high pitched or aggressive as a DOHC B.
