I hear my v-tec kick in, but not loud. i know d-series aren't not loud like b-series but can i do anything to make a nasty sound like that b-series? Cam, valves, etc...?

 

Only thing is buy a DOHC.

The Other cam in the DOHC controlls the exhaust ports, which is why you hear it more.

The VTEC on the SOHC only controlls the intake ports.

Yeah if you want the immediate scream...get a B-series...not happening with a SOHC

 

Why would you want to?

 

why does the sound matter? turbo whine makes your car sound like a semi and go faster, thats what i did and now vtec is the least of my concerns

Exaclty!

 

i can hear vtec more on my sohc with my turbo . so maybe thats an idea

 

i drove a 92 ex coupe at work yesterday and i think it had a JUN sohc vtec cam in it. it also had a short ram intake, RS*R ex mag exhaust... vtec sounded hella nice. like my friends b16 or something. didnt sound bad at all.

ummm jun doesnt make a SOHC VTEC cam...

EDIT: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=229036 well some say yes, some say no...but i've never seen or heard of one

 

i got a d15b in my 95 civic dx coupe, vtec sounds very similar to a b16. but ive heard the d15b is built to rev the same as a b series so im sure that makes a difference.

 

and didnt they not make vtec coupes till 93?

 

They didnt make coupes at all untill 93. Rick

i think you're mistaking v-tec from the sound of the intake, it might be hard to distinguish with a short ram

 

i can definately hear vtec engage on my d15b, comparing to a b series its not as obvious at all but the revs rise a lot quicker as soon as it kicks in...

 

It's nice to see that no one has picked on anyone for typing v-tec instead of vtec. This is proof that given the right setting, we can still be civil on H-T! sorry, OT.

They advertised on their web site (JUN) about making a D series cam.

 

or just turbo and BOV noise, thats hot. its what i did.

 

well back in the day when i first got my 94 Si hatch i had a ported head,greddy exhaust ,and a web cam custom grind.That cam was loud as hell when vtec kicked in,you might want to check with them,but it was loud as hell everytime i went into vtec people would snap there necks and the car ran awesome with that setup

 

Ive seen a ghetto system where you could rig a speaker in the engine bay to produce a BOV sound so you might be able to do something like that

VTEC is only on the intake cam...it doesn't have anything to do with the exhaust cam. My single cam VTEC roars when my speedo works right.

 

Who cares...just build your car to go fast! Does anyone really say....did you hear that vtec car roll by? LOL

DOHC VTEC uses intake and exhaust lobes in VTEC...

 

V T E C not v-tech, v-tec or vtech

Who cares what it sounds like, build your car to go fast not sound fast

Wrong you are! The only honda vehicle with VTEC on the exhaust cam is the NSX if I'm not mistaken! Do some research buddrow...Look at the exhaust cam of an B series VTEC and see if you see the holes in the lobes...I'll go ahead and tell you...you won't see them...

 

"Who cares...just build your car to go fast! Does anyone really say....did you hear that vtec car roll by? LOL"

Exactly, they're more be trying to clown on your cuz you drive a honda, so worry bout the performance and put people in their place.
