My vtec engages at 5500 in my em1. From what I understand 4800 is high load and 5500 is low load. Why is it not getting high load? This is at WOT. No MILs, CELs, or whatever.

 

What on earth are you talking about? Your VTEC is supposed to engage at 5500 rpm on an EMI...any load. Are you thinking of a GSR setup which has it's secondary butterflies open in the intake first and then VTEC comes on second? (or vice versa) EM1's do not use this type of intake setup.

 

^^^^^^^ agreed you dont have 2 stages of VTEC it is right where it should be unless you change it with a controler

a gsr doesnt have 2 stages of vtec either

 

yeah man, its definently supposed to engage at 5500 rpm. I think you are thinking of a GSR, where the unique intake manifold allows VTEC to engage at 4400 and secondary butterflies in the intake manifold to open up at 5700 i believe. Hope this helped some!

 

thats what mine does.. my vtec kicks in at 4400 rpm. always thought that was a bit weird

 

I thought that the dual length intake didn't come along until the RSX?

b18c1's and h22's had dual runner manifolds long before k20s

 

I KNOW THAT I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT THERE ISNT 2 STAGES OF VTECH JUST DIDNT WORD IT RIGHT.

There isn't a single stage of VTECH either.



but if you dial 5-5-0-0 you can have VTECH too!

(sorry bad joke, but I just couldn't resist )

OMG Yall are funny....I love it when I see people gettin on someone about the vtec spelling!! lol


Anyway your em1 should kick vtec at 5500. question what ecu are u running is it the stock one?? that I believe would have an effect on it.....

 

my god this kind of stuff comes up every day
