I made an MPEG for you experienced VTEC guys to listen to.

I am not sure how VTEC is supposed to sound when it kicks in, but this just doesnt sound right to me. Watch my tach as it hits 5,000 RPM's the sound changes drastically, I have stock exhaust and a cai (not AEM at the time). It makes this sound only when VTEC kicks in, at first I thought it was a heat shield, it wont do it revving it up in the garage or when just eeeeasssyyying through the vtec range.

Here it is: http://63.144.16.232/browsable/honda-tech/cap0002.mpg
For best luck opening, right click and do "SAVE AS"

If you guys enjoy this, I will post more phun ones in the future!

that's vtec!!! SUcking in more air. the sound of opening up (a can)!!!

 

From, what i can tell that sounds about normal.
VTEC always made my car sound different, plus when i put on CAI it made the sound difference between nonVTEC and VTEC even more noticeable. Personally i think it sounds incredible

 

Sounds right to me. You shifting alittle early? Need to take it up to 7400RPMs

 

sweet

 

um...maybe it's just b/c i am used to my 5th gen, but that sounded a little bit too quite, but then again, it seems like everything has a louder engagement than my Teg

 

7400 RPM?


Is it safe to rev to that? even on a JDM h22?

 

Sure its OK. Its the redline for a reason. If you want you an even push it to 7800 rpm, but thats really pushing it
