Looking for H22A VTEC engagement point

I have a 92-96 H22A, Can anyone tell me at what rpm the VTEC should kick in? Also, I have plugged a VAFC II to my ECU. Any suggestions on where or how low I should set my VTEC engagement points?

Mine engages at about 5200 rpm with a j spec auto ecu. Mine suggestion would be not to adjust your vtec engagement point until you're on a dyno.

Re: Looking for H22A VTEC engagement point (AudioFuct)

I originally had it set at 5200 , but once I chaged it to 4800 it seemed to hit harder and have a better powerband. Give it a try..............

Jesus, Either the cams cant carry torque at all, or your tuner cant tune right.

its low because of the basic bolt ons.. i/h/e are usually for high end rpms.
as for torque.. its a h22... of course it would have torque

I say that because you general put vtec point at where your primary lobes (out of vtec) stop making power (when your torque curve drops off). I am not talking about torque in general. basic bolt-on have little to do with vtec point.
