Post DC5 iVTEC crossover

i was wondering for future purposes.. does the rsx hit vtec hard? honestly because just seeing videos i know its not the same as a first hand-experience but i dont see the crossover hit as hard as b16's and such.

and just wondering why the ivtec motors respond so well to I/H/E mods so well and do they respond even better to other mods? ex. camshafts/etc.

LMAO... that crossover you feel crack.. that's just the torque dip that the factory tune has so you can be "OMG vtec!!!!!" **** my car doesnt have that vtec crack.. it just pulls throughout the whole rpm range.

:facepalm:

This is going nowhere fast (and by fast I mean VTAK fast!!)...
OP, the i-VTEC that you are asking about is not the same as the older B-Series motors. It does crossover, it does make a louder noise, does it make the car suddenly pull harder or shudder.. no. i-VTEC is smart VTEC, search around and you will learn more.
