How does it pop? i just sold my teg and know what vtec is supposed to be like, but on my new stock type s, its barely and i mean Barely noticeable, i dont hear it, and if i am really trying to test it, it barely does somthing. 58000 miles, shortram intake, magnaflow exhaust.

 

You sure you have a Type-S??

 

Nvm ^ Maybe it's not crossing over at all, are you low on oil?

 

fresh oil, k20a2, something kicks in at 5800 when slowly pressing the gas till 5800.no pop or anything, but so little of a push its not knoticable at all.

 

Better make sure its not an a3 lolol!! Get a better intake and some race header. U will hear it more than!! How far into the rpm fo go after engaging at 5800? It progressively get louder into the rpms!!

 

i take it to 7900 as if i was racing to see how its running. everythings good but i dont feel vtec, or atleast the not way it should be for a better motor then i had in my teg

 

You can barely hear the crossovers on the RSX's... that's why I got the ARC intake.

 

i dunno then.. this car just seems slower then my teg. good low end power, but when it comes to vtec and high rev, my teg would have blown it away.

my teg had work done, but nothing really power wise.. b16head ls block,itr cams, itr intake manifold, cold air,dc headers,test pipe, and 2.5 exhaust,

this indeed makes the sound, but my teg climbed so fast in vtec/rpms towards the type s

 

K and B is night and day espically in N/A... get a 3" exhaust and intake then if you want to feel the crossover or Kpro.

 

I drove another RSX type s with a 3 inch forza tuning pipe and headers with intake. and still didnt hear crap, but also same as mine, barely noticeable

 

Wut?! U went with an airbox to hear vtec engage more. Cai is the best way to go. All that box is bling!!! I cud hear my crack loud when i didnt have kpro and even better with kpr0

 

can you make a video of your speedo and rpm gauge when driving

 

I heard that the less you hear or feel you vtec the better the tuning is on your motor. I could be mistaken but maybe it's better to have a smoother transition.

 

ill make a video tonight when i get off work, and for the vtec transition, i would hope that this car has more power then that for a type s. for when vtec kicks in i dont feel any faster, same climb speed in rpm.

 

from the factory whats the true stock hp? what should i be expecting

 

Why would you want your VTEC to "pop"...It is a more of a smooth transition...Not a "poppin vtec yo"... The K series will not "pop" like the B series use to anyway. I'm not quite sure what you are expecting..

If you think something is wrong...Do a compression test. Yank the spark plugs...do a dry test then a wet test. I think you can rent the Snap-On tool from AutoZone. For the wet test...add a cap full of ATF into each spark plug before you do three cranks of the engine. Then right the info down and get back to us.

 

If you have an '05....Your BHP is 210...For an '06 it's 200...And for the '02-'04...It's 200.

 

i know all that, i am asking True hp if i put a stock on the dyno, it isnt gonna tell me 200..just like the gsr is 180, i know it wont show that

 

Every car is going to vary dude...based on mods, mileage, what dyno you use, weather, altitude...You can expect to be in the high 170's stock...Depending what dyno you are using.

 

that second part answered my question,,

will do the video, and let you guys tell me if it looks right or not.

 

hmmmm
mine pops hard @5800
dont know why ur having problems?!?!?

 

stock whp on my 06 type s was 165whp & 134wtq

 

u got ripped off with a k20a3 brotha

 

That's really low. I'm curious to know what dyno you used.




kobeballer96:
One easy way to check if you got stuck with a k20a3...Is look for the stamp on the block.
But we know this isn't the case since he already said he takes it to 7900 RPM's...Reading owns you.

 

i know about the stamp on the block and i just though mabey the ecu was tunned diffrent and it allowed it to take it to 7900rpm. i know u can take it to 7300 safely i herd or im not too sure but stock is 6800
