I have an EX. Its alright, nothign fast though. Theres no way I would spend money to even try to make that motor fast though. No potential unless you swap in a K series.

LOL, yea, it seems no one knows when it engages. I'm not worried about its performance, just wanted to know when it engaged. I guess once its broken in, maybe i'll be able to hear it engage.
