I put in the S300 for my B16 motor and ran two different maps for the B16 and now my vtec sounds so quiet its almost non existent. Id like to think that Im hearing it, but damn I can barely tell. Is it engaging? who knows. When i put in the stock ECU, vtec screams and is very distinct. Does anyone know why??

 

cuz the base map on the hondata unit has smoothed out ur crossova. .it.s thurr. .lol. .thas one myth peeps dont get. .jus cuz u feel or hear vtec mo doesnt mean that it.s betta!!!

 

when you feel vtec kicking in its not a jump in power, its the torque an hp dipping at the crossover and then the power coming back on

a smooth transition is what you want, sounds like the car is running really good

 

It's just a basemap.. get your car tuned

 

smoother the crossover the better power band...smooth power throught ur power band is better then just a instant boost of power..

 

I know that a smoother crossover is better but I'm sure that it doesnt make the vtec completely quiet and unnoticable. Or does it? I tried a map that was fully tuned for a b16a2 motor, same thing. I could understand a slight change in noise, but not night and day.
