Wow. You must have mad tyte VTECH upgrades.

Seriously dude, if you have a built engine, it's possible, even understandable, but really? A nitrous button? Come on...

Oh, I've got a stock N/A JDM D15B VTEC, and no stereo. It's all I can do to just hear the VTEC engage.

 

just a few emoticons that describe how your post made me feel

hahahahahahahahaha!!

your VTECH is no different than any other d series engine.. honda didnt decide to make a few d series with a very powerful <U>VTEC</U> yours is the same as every other dseries out there... i used to have a d series with full cat headers and intake and could somewhat HEAR it.

 

what the expletive.....up_grade?

did you have your lil brother type this up for you?

 

i was the one with the vtech question and it was about vtech-E, why the hell did you make this post, your vtech is no more special then anyone else's, i got it you know what it might be, your mind thinking that your car is super duper fast

yeah im pretty sure it's spelled uppgrayyedd anyway. Merriam webster is a rad dude.


OP: what motor do you have? The D16Y8 vtec with an intake is very noticeable. The manifold is huge (relatively).

The D16Z6 manifold is small. So it's harder to hear VTEC. This is a very simple explanation.

The D series VTEC is only active on the intake cam. Anything that makes the motor louder on the intake side will make VTEC more noticeable. Anything that makes the exhaust side louder will drown out VTEC noise.

My friend had a y8. It blew up. So we put a D15B in it. With the Y8 manifold, VTEC was still loud. He just put another Y8 in it. Same deal.

My D16Z6 (back in my slummin' D series days) was not noticeable at all when it crossed over.

 

I'm never a dick but i can't believe that nobody points out the excessive use of the word VTECH and sometimes V-TECH lol. i used to get flamed.

and even d15b with vtec is strong at a good maintenance and upgrade level.

vtec rocks over non vtec and they are all good when popping vteck(haha the only one missing.)

 

Um yeah its definetly called VTEC Not VTECH and VTECH is a phone service or phone creator also i think? hemmm...

 

i drive a d16z6. my engine gets loud as **** when vtec kicks in. you here it over my apexi n1 exhaust. idk y. maybe its bc i got headers but i can hear it deff

 

hahaha yall ******* are funny as hell. dude you aint seen or heard vtec till you have ridden in a k20r (k20a) w/ k-pro. holy **** it pops. actually a usdm b18c5 w/ stg 2 cams ******* roars.. then you will be thinking whats d series vtec?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by chadalac1712 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i drive a d16z6. my engine gets loud as **** when vtec kicks in. you here it over my apexi n1 exhaust. idk y. maybe its bc i got headers but i can hear it deff</TD></TR></TABLE>

you must have super miro enchanced microphone to hear that ****

 

I'm a dick, so I was going to add that this guy's V-TECH might be louder because his ringer is turned up to "high" - hell his earpiece might be turned up too much too:





Seriously though B Serious hit the nail on the head. Aftermarket intakes make the biggest difference on a SOHC VTEC engine.

Lastly while we're on the subject of VTEC:

Has anyone ever seen those posts where people ask about putting a DOHC VTEC soledoid on a SOHC and it made the VTEC kick in harder? That ****'s hilarious. They are interchangable, and they have zero effect on VTEC kicking harder.

 

Yeah with a shot of +1HP

So how would you having a header (or 2 or 3) make SOHC VTEC louder? If it is loud, it has to be something on the INDUCTION (intake) side.

 

my vtech kick loud with out any mods. wo0. my mini me over powers yours

 

Who cares how HARD V-TEC kicks in, on a DOHC or SOHC motor, it still sucks and hardly helps at all.. lol

I was watching this video of a guy that posted his vid on youtube who made a "SRI" that extended to his pasenger window and then you could really hear VTEC come in. Regardless, it was pretty ridiculous looking.

spell check much? There is no vtec button, it does not put you back into your chair and into the future. Read more about it and you will see for yourself

 

preludes have a mean vtec, it almost sounds like the car changes gear or something and u do get locked in ur seat

 

Okay this topic is officially ******* retarded.

I think you mean that the oil sump/pick-up tube was dented/damaged and that you had to change it out as well as the pan gasket to resotre oil pressure to the entire engine, right?
