Sorry if this is a stupid question, im just wondering....does vtec engage in reverse? I probably doesnt, but i'd still like to know.

 

You know dude I can't say that I've tried but hey u never know. Hop in your ride and please let us know, because now you got my brain going. Thanks way to go get the pollack thinking. Good luck getting an answer cuz.

 

i cant see why not. 5000 rpm's is still 5000 rpm's in reverse.

this is by far the most brain wrenching question ive ever seen.

 

I believe so. I heard someone did it in my B16 hatch around town. I wouldn't want to go 5500 rpms in reverse.

 

This is funny ****! Bump for the pursuit of knowledge! Mad Reverse VTEC Yo!

 

seriosuly im seriosu too and its a good question i want to know

 

i had the chance once but i forgot to.

 

i would have to agree with civictildeath.

Do it and make a video. I want multiple camera angles. Interior: 1aimed out the rear window, 1 at the cluster Exterior: 1 mounted somewhere on the car, 1 with the car coming at it, 1 on the side, and 1 with the car going away from it.

 

hooray for big parking lots!!

this is the best question ever

 

Im pretty sure it does, was kinda hard to tell. I tried it a while ago

 

i wouldnt see why not
like the guy said: 5500rpm is 5500rpm
I'm pretty sure for stock the only thing your computer checks is if you're going about a certain mph (ie the vtec &lt;20mph box in uberdata), and what rpm you're at. So i suppose the only thing that would be holding you back is the 20 mph thing, cause i cant say that i've ever looked down at my speedo while going in reverse, so i dont know if it registers
I'd say probably though, unless something in the ecu blocks it, but i cant imagine that ever coming up when they were designing the ECUs I mean really, reverse is just another gear, no?

I agree. Someone should seriously try it. If it comes down to it, ill just go be a dumbass and try myself. Theres a massively long parking lot near my house. If i do it ill make a vid. Good god im a dumbass.

 

yeah it does, my friend did it in his 00' ex.

i want to see a vid!

 

lol...this is so funny b/c i was just contemplating this the other day. Never will i try it though.....

&lt;---not wild about reving my motor to 5800 in reverse.

 

good question. I'd go try it right now, but i have no vtec

 

VIDEO!, i went really fast in reverse once,... and i almost hit a tree with three people in the car. but my engine is sohc non vtech

 

This reminds me of that video some guys did in a snow covered parking lot, beastie boys playing in the background. They were going pretty damn fast in reverse, before whipping the cars around into donuts entertaining stuff

this just reminded me i need to ditch the dirty b7......

 

ssbpturbohatch &lt; wants to see vid.

 

I know boost does. lol I was thinking about this question but with boost when my del sol was turbo. so I tried it and sure enough if does. I didn't think it would build enough pressure in reverse.

 

y0! That's seriously the best technical question I've seen on here. I wanna go try it in my civic right now. Right after I get outta this f'in Government class.... Go V-Tec!
