Does VTEC engage if you hit 7000 rpm while in reverse? My firend just asked me out of the blue and i actully have no idea......anyone know?

 

I've never done it but I'm remember awhile back a few people on this board actually hit VTEC in reverse.

 

MrSmith has....i was going to try it but i chickened out at 4,500 rpms

 

never thought about it much b4
vtec in reverse, that is some funny ****

how fast are you going when you hit vtec in reverse, anyways?

I bet you could do some reverse donuts on dry pavement in reverse....
Don't think it's too good for the tranny though

 

I believe it does engage in reverse. The engagment point should be the same as the regular.

 

I've got vtec@4400rpm - I'll check it out this afternoon

 

It engages. As said above

 

This has been discussed before, it DOES engage, the engine and ECU dont care whether you're going forwards or backwards, and they control VTEC. not the tranny. Its pretty dumb to try it..cars are not meant to go that fast backwards.

 

so how fast @vtec?

 

****, if you pop the clutch just right you can do a backwards wheelie!!

 

Ok, some one who has their car with them go out and do this.....

 

It may be "pretty dumb", but then again, what the hell I'll do it just to say I did.

 

When I had a Civic years ago, my brother and I tried it if the ABS would engage in reverse. The answer is YES it would. After finding out the answer, we got so sick in the stomach and almost puked.

 

It does.

 

bahaha this is ****** hilarous. i'm gonna go try it

 

I'm just waiting for a post (by anyone) that says:

"Yes! It does go into VTEC in reverse.. but I turned the wheel a little bit, started a very bad attempt at a j-turn, then hit a curb and a tree!"

 

Yes it does work... btw anybody know a good body shop in South FL? j/k That is the one thing I would worry about when hauling **** in reverse, damn thing will whip around in no time flat.

 

Hey.. I want this on video! And the vtec in reverse thing too!

 

That's a good way to break things.

 

break things? it's like driving a RR, you can pretend to be eddie bello

 

lol

 

And steal some cars? And then go to jail? No thanks

 

Yeah I learned real fast how hard it is to drive in reverse at 40 MPH down a hill. Dont ask me what I was thinking or what posessed me to do so. I was 16 and stupid. Luckily it wasn't in my R.

 

Dave - I did this just for you...NO I didn't hit a tree, but instead found a really OPEN area & walla! ~22mph hit vtec 4400rpm in REVERSE, took it to 6000rpm & then quickly shut the damn thing down BEFORE hitting a curb, a tree, a sign, etc...

In case anyone thinks their car feels slow now that you've gotten used to it, just go backwards to vtec! HOLD THE F*&^ on tho, 'cause you'll wreck in a split second of screw up.

There - no I did it, I can go on with my day knowing I'm a dumbarse
