I had a smal question guys. I was reading my last Modified magazine and it said in an article that this guy loves when his vtec kicks in at around 6000rmp. I always thought it kicked it at around 3000rmp. Is this true, can you change the threshold point or what. I bearly rev my car up that hight so does that mean i dont know what vtec feels like... if so im gonna kill my self and that sucks....

 

vtec be poppin y0

depends on the tune... you can change vtec to whatever you want it to be. of course you need to be tuned for it

 

<crickets chirping>

 

Man are you missing out lol...
Yea i got a fully built tuned gsr 215 hp! vtec engages around 6000 rpm up to 8700 rpm feels like a low boosted turbo! low end is so strong i swear im in vtec until i pass 6000 rpm!
your vtec will engage at around 5200 assuming its a stock gsr, you can get a apexi vtec controller and set it lower. and nicely tuned motor will have a seamless vtec crossover real smooth transition! listen to the motor as you bring up your rpms and listen for a change in sound at around 5200 rpm thats vtec crossover! baaaaaaahh bbraaannnnnggggg......
be carefull its adicting lol.

 

stop reading into the mainstream magazines so much.

 

Really whats wrong with that? never heard this coment before

 

v-tec at 3000rpm LOL. you know a intake is 15hp plus.

 

Yea mine kicks in at the 6k range. I need to hurry and throw my headers and exhaust on so I will be able to hear it better. It's still an awesome sound.

 

...wow

 

everytime you say vtec you have to say YO after it.

like my "vtec YO"

remember, you must say: YO after every vtec

if you get a vafc and turn vtec YO up to some crazy number like 6800 on a stock GSR you can really get vtec YO to kick hard. the primary lobe is so far past it's prime that the switch to vtec YO hits hard. as downright dumb as this sounds i have seriously seen a kid do very similar and brag about how hard vtec YO hit

 

Ok let me try.

You know what's the greatest feeling in the world? My VTEC Yo!!

 

Wow this thread made my night lol..
VTEC YO!

 

its VTAK not vtec.

 

You forgot the YO. Lol

 

Hey hey....now, you can say "VTEC" without a "YO" after it.

I figured it was "VTAKK" that had the compulsory "YO" after it.

My shizz has that mad-tyt3 VTAKK, y0! I B33s wantin' sum mo' powa, so I jus crizzanked that **** to kick in at 3kz RPMz, Mang!

Stock GSR VTEC crossover is 4400 RPM. IDK if I've ever really heard VTEC cross over in a stock GSR.
The sound you hear around 6000 RPM is actually around 5700 or 5800. It's the sound of the IABs (Secondary Butterflies) opening. Stock intakes have baffles, etc, that mask that sound. When you switch to an aftermarket intake, you hear the changeovers a lot better.

If you never even rev your car up to 6000 RPM, why even have a GSR? That should be the operative question, here.

I knew a guy that had a B16 that had intake and a FREE flowing exhaust. When the car hit VTEC Crossover, it was like you heard a "POP." I want to say he was running ITR cams, too. I've never heard any car with such a pronounced crossover.

 

vtec YO only gets crazy on a stock GSR if you raise it to the moon and have a single runner manifold. with the OE manifold the butterflies hit harder than vtec YO

 

imma gonna have to disagree there i brought ,my car completly stock ,one owner with air box and all and you could hear my vtec (vtakk < vtec yo ) cross over even with stock exaughst .. i dont know ifs one of the factory beast or somthing that ppl some times talk about , .. now she sounds beautiful.. to me atleast

 

and yea for some odd reason b16 tend to have a loud cross over my buddys did but it still didnt go anywhere

 

LOL........it was all fun and games

 

VTEC YO!! is my drug.
