i gota type r in a hatch... vtec pops at 6k and my peak hp is at 8550rpm

so if i make vtec pop at 4.5 will i have better mid-range since it hits earlier... so peak hp might be at 7.5?? what im pretty much ask if i lowwer the enguagin point of vtec that will give me lowwer rev hp and later it kicks in i will have higher rpm power? correct?

 

The only way to tell is on a Dyno so you can see your torque and hp curve,and play with it from there.

What you dont want to do is have the vtec engage too early. Too early you will be below the operating range of the vtec lobe. So in essence you could actually lose power in the midrange. Honda sets the vtec point for a reason.

 

only want to go is to make it "pop" at 3k

 

i already ahve a dyno sheet and my power is from 6k(vtec) to 8500 its alll up hill from six but id like to have a lil more low like from 5k-7500/or 8k

 

Your vtec lobe is not designed to provide power at that rpm. Your vtec lobe has its own power band and you will be engaging it too soon. So from 3-6k you will actually lose power.

 

Dude you got to dyno.....but FYI my vtec starts at 4700 make power till 9000

 

i say the stock ITR vtec 5500?

 

what mods do you have? adn you have a type r motor?
