Alright, so i have never heard VTEC before on a DOHC motor. Today i was test driving a 99 SI with a B16 and when VTEC kicked in around 5k or whatever, it was sooooo loud inside the car. Is that normal?! I mean it sounded like it was coming from the lower right hand side of the engine bay. It was just so loud inside. All the car has is a CAI and a stage 2 clutch i think. Anyway, i was just wondering...thx guys

 

Intake allows you to hear more engine sound. My B16 screams when Vtec engages. Yes, it is normal.

 

haha this guy. yeh it's normal...no worries it's not gonna brake on you or anything puwhahaha...yes v-tech is lovely isn't it?!? haha

 

civboy where you been?

Yes it's normal. Aftermarket intakes amplify the sound a lot, so that's why it was so loud to you. A stock airbox would still allow for a noticeable change in sound, but it would be significantly quieter.

 

i do love it...it made me wet. I think i soiled my pants on the test drive. There was a friggin huge *** straight away behind the dealership...usually for those WRX's to open up abit ya know....but i punched it in 2nd then 3rd and before i knew it, i was cruisen around 80-90. But yeah that sound and kick is muy bueno.

Not to mention my civic now is a goddamn slushbox

u mean neck 2 neck?

 

daaayyyyaaaam thats loud. I love VTEC now. Im sorry for bein such a noob, i just thought itd be no diff than my D16y8...my mistake fo sho

 

my friends 2000 Si w. just CAI sounds like that GSR, just somethign with his VTEC is amazingly too loud for a basically stock b16

 

uhm.. B16 stock are pretty damn loud when VTEC engages...

 

as i found out today....your very right. I mean i drove a gsr once and it wasnt very loud it seemed....it didnt have an intake either though...

 

you should hear vtec with a short ram, even louder than a CAI
