I have a base model RSX and my buddy has a Type-s.. he's got a ECU and some other stuff.. but the ECU is the only thing different.. but his V-tec is sooo much louder than mine. i thought it would be in the head, but i was wrong. Is this something with the piping of the car or what? can someone give me the low down on the difference?

 

no offense but this thread has been covered a couple of times already. the cars have differant engines they work a lil differant.

 

is it just me or does this question get asked almost every day?

basically, in a nutshell. the k20a3 [ your engine ] does not have the traditional 'vtec' that you are used to.

Yes, because the search page only searches recent topics by default, and people don't usually think to search a second time and click the "Archived" button to look in older topics.

indeed it does because people dont have basic knowledge of K-series engines. if you own a dc5 or an ep3 get your **** straight!

 

There are a lot of differences. I'd say go to http://www.acura.com if they haven't already taken down the RSX.
