Ive tried to search to find out when vtec is engaged on a 2001 Acura EL(01 Civic EX) and cant find it. I know the SOHC engine vtec sound is not as noticeble as the DOHC engines. Its not gonna sound like my old prelude. Sorry for the noob question. I just cant find it.

Thanks

 

i think it engages sumwhere between 4k and 5k rpms... sumwhere in there im pretty sure. i know its not anything under 4.... why do u wana know, if i might ask?

 

It's around 2700 RPM's.

 

are u sure its 2700?? cuz my friend has an ex and it kicks around 4500-ish

Yes I'm sure. It's in the technical service bulletin Honda released about the car. And, I do have an EX.

kinda ridiculous how we get the same posts going over adn over and over again. im liking having hte posts with pix from import alliance to spice things up!

 

i think last time this was posted up ppl fought about it for like a week it would also be nice if the fourm denied a post from being setup if in knew that it had been covered like every 2 days

 

im stuck with one too , VTEC-E crap. yes engagment point is like 2500 rpm's.

 

oh well i lose..shoot me in the foot. lets start another thread on what NA mods we can do to our d17s so they can reach 200 hp

Sell them for a K-series, would probably be the cheapest option.

Thanks.

 

lol, mr friend has a type-s and he made a shirt, it says " i-vtec, do you?"

 

boilermaker had a dyno chart on his turbod emII with different vtec engagments. At 2700 i believe, like matt said, is the ideal setting for vtec

I tried to search before asking, but I couldnt find it. I was having the same debate with my friends. I feel that vtec kicks in around 5000 rpm. Other ppl were saying 3000 rpm. So I figured I should find out b/c theres money on it! Someone have a definite answer?My bad yall.

As I posted earlier, the kick-in point for VTEC is around 2700 RPM's. That's not some random statement, that is a FACT. It was in Honda's Technical Service Bulletin, relating to the car.
