4800 - 5200 RPM depending on TPS I believe

this is what i've read.

search harder next time.

 

5200 at the earliest

 

thanks for replies

 

I was almost positive that on my z6 it was 5400. That is what the indicator light told me.

 

Yeah I also think it's between the 4800 and 5200 hundred. Something I read about the TPS system.

 

Said it before and I'll say it again. 4,800 RPM is when VTEC will engage on a stock D16Z6.

hmm according to a stock d16z6 uberdata map file that in using in my car, the exact vtec point is 5250.

 

i always thought it was at 5500
cant heard the change ova

 

another weird question........ are there any mods you can do so you can HEAR VTEC on a SOHC setup? or MINIme motor?

 

whenever it kicks in , better ******* hold on.

 

lol
WARP SPEED AHEAD

 

4800+ rpm
13mph+
140degrees (coolant temp)
engine load (judged by intake manifold neg. pressure)

That's real cute, but thats why I also stated that, "I also think I read that somewhere". Don't try to be funny if it's not needed.

is that by the stock tach?if so,they're notorious for being up to a few hundred RPMS high or low.

I still say 5200 at the earliest.

 

on my d16y8 vtec kicks in at 5600, but since the new VAFC II it kicks in at 5000

i'm not doubting you,but above the man posted info directly from the Helm manual-i'm more inclined to believe that.
like i said above,if you're basing your numbers on the stock tach,your numbers could be WAY off.on my Z6 in my EG,at WOT,my stock tach indicates about 4500 RPM when VTEC comes in.when i still had the Z6 in my coupe,it was more around 5kRPM.same motor,same ECU,different tachs.

Ther both right, Helms says the RPMs need to be "above 4800" to activate. It doesn't neccessrily mean it will right at that point, but not before.

I can't help it. See title.

You are absolutely correct!!! The '94 Civic FSM published by Honda Motor Co. agrees.

It is possible for it to engage later (under extremely light engine loads), but as long as speed and temp requirements are met, it is 4800 at WOT.

 

i read somewhere that (along with the previous requirements stated above )it also varies with tps sensor input, at certain throttle inputs it engages at different points

Humor is always needed. If not needed, it's welcomed.
No need to be a ***** if it's not needed.
