I have a 89 hf with a 93 SOHC V-tec D16Z6 in it but how can you tell when V-tec kicks in does it feel like it has a small turbo when it kicks in or what??
Also will D16A6 piston rods and pistons work in my D16Z6????

 

youll hear it...

 

its not as noticeable on the z6 but if it doesnt fall flat on its face above 5k then vtec is working

i do not hear it on my z6 but right at 4000 rpm i'm thrown to the back seat. seriously, as stated the car should still feel strong at 5k.

 

damn never had that feeling of being put back in my seat. But you can here it kick in. It makes a little noise.

 

not back in your seat, in the back seat. i barely have enough time to climb back to the front and shift. again i'm just kidding.

 

u can hear vtec ingage with a clicking, dont use a6 cam, use a jdm d15b vtec camshaft, more agressive, better than a zex cam

 

There someone on this board, i forget his name though.
For $40, he'll sit in your passenger seat and punch u
in the nuts when vtec kicks in. j/k
You'll notice a different sound from your exhaust when vtec kicks in.

yeah that guy would work too.

 

your car will smoke the tires when vtec kicks in...

and then throw you into your seats and explode...

 

when you feel like you are going 'ludicrous' speed, you hit vtec.

omfg, that made my day. I might have to quote you in my signature

 

Normally I lose my grip on the steering wheel and if my hane is on the shifter I'll accidentally slam it in reverse (not good on trans) then my seat will break (i go through more seats that way)

 

Sohc D Series VTEC engines only have VTEC on the intake valves. That's why you don't hear the distinctive sound at the VTEC crossover. If you have an intake it may help you hear when VTEC engages, but otherwise it's not really noticeable.

yes excatly, and when vtec turns off you will hear the blow off valve
if you want more performance upgrade your vtec wastegate

 

youl feel alittle bit more kick around higher rpms and itl sound alittle different

 

Since this has turned into a joke, it is now.........
