Re: just a little question... (acqua20)

on F22 and F23 motors, the VTEC kicks in at 4500 rpm... I don't know about DXs though... I know 4G and 5G DX Accords didn't have VTEC, but I don't know about 6G Accords...

sorry, that statement is incorrect, vtec kicks in at 5250 rpm pretty much a useless x-over if you ask me

Re: just a little question... (SOHCkordVTEC)

is it really that high? it goes to show you how long i've had my VTEC set otherwise... lowering the VTEC threshold in our cars really does make a difference in the power curve then!
