Okies my cousin just got a 93 cx with a 99 ex motor and everyone tells us that its vtec because it has a vtec solenoid sticking out of it, so is it really vtec? or is everyone just ******* wrong, i mean i can find one and weld it on my accord too ****-

 

what is the engine code on the block??

 

ex motors came with vtec along with si motors,so yes he does have vtec

 

Yeah its Vtec... all ex's have been vtec from the EG/EJ's and the EK's etc.... the EG Si's were also SOHC vtecs.... so no... everyone is telling you guys the truth....

 

Okies well next question is....the guy he bought it from installed a ex gauge cluster (because the cx has no rpm gauge), and when he revs the car the car seems to rev up to 7500, and im not talking about redlining there, sometimes it might even go up but just ALOT slower, still though i don't think a sohc VTEC can redline so high now can it?

 

Huh?? I got confused about it goin slower or somthin?? Anyhow any stock tach is never as acurate as say an aftermarket but it does get the job done no less... but the stock SOHC fuel cut is 7200rpm's but I know for a fact I have seen my gauge read close to 7500... also its not a great idea to totally redline it up there since your done make power before that usually...

 

My EX redlines at 7, but I dont really get what your asking?

 

Im just saying that his tach is going REALLY high, i know the sohc engines have power but this thing almost redlined at 8g's today! im serious, if i can get a pic of the tach that high ill post it up-

 

just stop talking.

 

your still a ***!(DewMota)

who cares if its got vtec yo0 its still slow. NAw j/k, most likly if u see the vtec solenoid it whould be vtec beacuse who the fu*k would weld a damn solenoid to there head. teh question about the gauge cluster going to 8k is possible because it is probably off. my h22 only goes to 7400 and on my cluster i have to bring it up to 7600. and trust me its a huge difference when u dont bring it all the way there.

 

The real question is this: Why in the hell are u continusely taking it that high?? It stops making power b4 that...

i have a stock d16z6 with stock ecu, it has a rev-limiter at 9k. i made the mistake of trying to pass a tractor-trailer at about 50mph. i meant to go from 5th to 4th, instead hit 2nd. car took off, i was like holy ****, then my car cut out, i look down and my tach was at 9 and dropping, then i shifted back to 5th and the car was going again.

cliffs: d16z6 redline at 9k, bad experience finding this out.
