Okay I used to notice this all the time in my first Type R, that whenever I get into VTEC at WOT it seemd (I thought it may have been subconscious) that the guage lights are brighter and more orange. (I have CDN ITR).
I am starting to notice the same thing on my second ITR and I'm wondering if it's just me or my imagination or if anyone else notices this.
It definitely adds about 50 horsepower though

 

Hmmmm....I'll check that out tonight wen I drive my Type-R

 

I think it is you. You are getting an adrenaline rush while in VTEC at WOT. Thus more blood to your brain allowing you to see more vividly.

 

^ lol

 

mad vtec yo

 

drug is bad man ! the only thing i can see is the previous owner riced out and put more light to came on when vtec kick in

 

VTEC = drug

 

Your vtec boost juice is leaking into the passenger cabin,causing hallucinations and other adverse side effects.

 

Ummm nope nothing changed u smokin that good stuff there lol

 

probably smokin the mary jane!! while hes driving lol

 

hahahaha the third post is full of so much win.

 

Is this really a thread? Hilarious!

 

That's a possibility actually but my turbo Integra was much faster and I never experienced that. (I've had 4 DC2's so far). Maybe it's just something with CDN cluster or maybe it really is just me...





LOL yes I know but at least it's on topic.

 

hehehe. nice one

 

It's just you, OP

 

i bet its brightening up before vtec and you aren't noticing it.
At least on the USDM's, at 3,500 rpm the alternator output is higher. If you drive just below 3,500 rpm and then increase rpm, it will consistently brighten your headlights if they are on. I believe it has something to do with the alternator control in the ecu, and most likely the efficiency of the alternator is greatest above 3,500 rpm.

 

Your ears detect the noise increase at VTEC and your eyes widen to see where the noise is coming from so everything looks brighter....Its an unproven scientific fact that i just made up and will add to wikipedia.

 

 

check your grounds dude....

 

Not now chief. I'm in the ****IN ZONE.

 

Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go

Highway to the Vtec Zone
Ride into the Vtec Zone

 

lulzz that is epic

 

I think you are right...Only the "CDN cluster" do this because of the effect of "Northern Light".

 

Ya never know.

 

Ridiculous thread!
