my buddys jus got a 01 EX n wants to purchase a few things for it 1 thing is an intake but he was jus wondering if the VTEC crossover on this motor is any bit audible so i figured id ask u guys

 

its not. its a SOHC vtec motor which engages vtec in the lower 2k RPM so its basically always active. you will never be able to hear vtec on the d17

 

yeah can't hear vtec..
sucks doesn't it..
saves a lot of gas though hah

 

It's crossover points are different depending on your throttle.

 

IF YOU GET A V-TECH CONTROLLER CAN YOU ENGAGE IT LATER

 

but youll lose power. its been proven on both NA and boosted D17's

The VTEC engagement point for the D17A2 is at 2700rpm's, as stated by Honda in their original technical bulletins for the car.
