When does the vtec kick in on a d16z6 and what will it feel like I think I should have hit the vtec engagement rpm but just feels like a regular motor?

 

4200?

 

Not sure of the exact RPM, but on my y8 i wasn't really able to tell the difference from regular motor and VTEC until i installed an Intake. Do you have a ram or cai? if not then im sure it would solve your problem by putting an intake on.

 

no cai or ram...just wondering if im suppose to feel it

 

on a stock motor you problay wont feel vtec like you may on a dohc motor.

i think stock vtec engangement for a z6 is ~4800

 

VTEC doesn't really hit on the SOHC motors quite like it does on the DOHC motors do. Before I swapped to a B16, I never really noticed VTEC even with i/e. That's just the way it goes.

i belive its 5400rpm

 

on SOHC vtec motor you cant feel vtec at all. Vtec for this motors is nothing. i had a d16y8 and i never heard vtec on that motor.
then i got my b16a2 DOHC vtec and that vtec was hella loud and it feltl great.
D- series vtec are pieces of ****.
i would never own on again

 

Thats strange when my d16y8 engaged vtec i could definatly tell when the extra power kicked in. . .i just couldn't hear it too good until i put an intake on it. Maybe mine is just better than yours was? I dunno . ..

 

i rock out with my D out d is the best way to go "with boost of course"
