my buddy has a dc2 itr and when he hits v tec it screams u can realli hear a changeover.... he has a i/h/e i jus got a bone stock 03 type-s when i hit vtec its allmost like its much smoother like no crossover allmost like im not hiting it hard.. is this how the rsx is tuned is it cause i dont have i/h/e i cant hear it rip.. i dont mean to sound corny im not a fesh noob just dosent feel right i guesse..

 

bump.. little help guys i try to be helpfull

 

First off why would you bump a thread that is only 5 minutes old? Dont do it.

Secondly vtec isnt supposed to hit hard. When it is tuned correctly you should not feel a distinct kick over. Not to mention the kseries motors are supposed be a perfect crossover compared to the B/H series.

 

Yup...the K-series motors have iV-Tec which crossover smoother...

If you want to hear the iV-Tec kick in, get a cold-air intake...

 

yeah i kinna had the same thoughts when i first picked up my car. i just figured since its a newer car it was supposed to be smoother. you can do the hondata airbox mod if you want. you can hear the crossover better if thats what your looking for. or you can get a CAI

 

Yup, what they said. ^^^

One of the advantages of the K-series motors is that they can continually adjust the timing & overlap of the cams throughout the rev range. Add that on top of the usual fuel & spark adjustments, and it helps smooth out the peaks & valleys that you'd see in the powerband of less well-tuned engines. Even my EP3's stock motor's torque curve is almost just a flat line from 2000 rpm to redline.

There are more aggressive cams available, too.

 

thank u i figured that was jus makin sure nutin was rong cai w a bypass it is.. thanks again

Its only a website but ther is no reason to bump something to the top when its almost there anyhow.

 

A 5-minute bump sounds like ADD to me...

 

u hit the nail on the head with add bro lol

 

cold air def helps i just installed mine

 

take off your valve cover u'll hear it more

 

If you wanna hear it more, add a Short Ram and remove that sound proof thing that's on the hood.

Your car will be retardly louder (in the cabin)

In terms of sound: Short Ram &gt; Cold Air
In terms of performance: Cold Air &gt; Short Ram

 

ehh i think ill go the extra yard and do cai w bypass thanks guys end the thread
