This may be a stupid question, but on a sohcvtec when does the vtec kick in ?? not asking how should it sound cause i know its hard to hear it, but just curious when its suppose to kick in ??

 

bump !! someone answer

 

5500 i believe

 

Search is your friend. Im not sure if is 5500 because i know my B16 does, but its redline is @ 8200. A d16's is lower, so i would think it'd engage a little bit earlier? Maybe im wrong im not sure.

 

mine is at 5200rpm. with a p2p ecu (96-00 civic ex)

 

is different for each car.

what do you have.

platinum.

 

My 93 EX Z6 kicked at 5250. From what everyone has told me all the SOHC VTEC does is advance the timing.

i was almost 100 percent sure it kicks in at 5500 on a p2p

 

it moves to a more aggressive cam lob
