what and how can i do to make my v-tech kick in harder..? i own a 98 civic with a d16y8 and have heard of putting a k20 oil filter on it to do so.?? anymore suggestions ? anything is very much apreciated. thx

 

cams!! i/h/e, and i dont see y putting a k20 oil filter on would help anything

 

you want it to kick in harder? V-TECHHHH FOR THE LOSEEEEEEE

its v-tec you douche, get a short ram intake, itll make your vtec ''louder'' and your butt dyno will think its kicking in harder

 

D16Y8..so...Cam (singular) lol

 

short ram intake. about it.

 

I mean what the hell is people thinking this days don't they see there engine says vtec not vtech unless you had you house phone laying on top of your engine.... you answer is CAMS!!!!!!!

 

Me and a friend were ****in a round in walmart one day and I picked up a VTECH cordless phone and was like "hey dude check this out" then picked up the phone and hit talk then said "hey dude whats UUUUUUUUUUUUUP" and told him my VTECH kicked in lol

once again though,. Y8...single cam

 

check ur v tec fluid lol

 

you can also exchange the intake rotary gurter shaft, if you change the splines on it it'll make your vtec(h) kick harder. lol on a serious note. the vtec crossover is supposed to be seamless.....it's not supposed to kick "harder" and if it's a single cam it's not gonna be that loud anyway. it's only variable on the intake side. but a cam or vtec eliminator cam would help out alot.

 

single cam VTEC will never "hit hard" like a DOHC. just be happy with what you have or do a swap

 

sorry mr nightcat!! CAM!!!

 

if you dont know how to spell v-tec then you shouldn't have a civic

 

Get aftermarket Cam. That'll make it crack so much harder.

 

If you want to make it more obvious, change the engagement point. Like someone else said, it's meant to be seemless, which will actually perform better.
On my GSR swap, I can hear the engine get louder around 4400rpms, but it basicly just keeps pulling smoothly. Honestly, I'd even like it to be completely silent but maybe have just a little light turn on when the solenoid opens to actuate the crossover.
