civic 96 AT query

[erebus_dynamics]

mga sir, i own a 96 honda civic VTI AT

since its an AT, its rare for the VTEC to kick in, i think i even havent experienced it even and a friend told met to try a thing called the vtec controller, allegedly, one can alter the rpm when the vtec will kick in, im thinking if i do this and have the vtec kick in at 3500 rpm and use the vtec to my advantage when overtaking (its just a noob theory) .

any inputs mga sir?

Hindi ko rin mag distinguish yung Vtec sound.. parang high RPM eh.. hehehe...MAganda Install Vtec indicator...

my AT shifts at about 3000 to 3500 rpm, kaya po hindi ko pa nasusubukan ang vtec ko, nasubukan ko nadin naman po umabot 4000 rpm at low gear habang paakyat ng baguio pero hindi pa din po nag-open vtec nya. sayang naman ang vtec kung hindi magamit, hehehe.

panu po ung vtec indicator at magkano po un?

have you try to stick in drive "2" for a long time until the rpm gets higher then shift to regular "D" mode???

about dun sa VTEC indicator, bihira lang ata may nabibilhan nun, parang maliit na tachometer lang siya na iilaw kung nag-oopen yung VTEC saka may mga cases na hindi rin nagana yung link na yun, actually you can make your own vtec indicator (DIY ika nga)...para madali na, mas mura pa.


eto lang kailangan mo uh,...

MATERIALS NEEDED:

12 volt LED light
Wire(16 gaude wire is what i used. Red and black to represent positeve and negative
a 12 volt capacitor

TOOLS NEEDED;

wire cutters
electrical tape
drill w/ bits
soldering iron....

bale parang magiging alarm indicator lang yun style niya.

alam ko vtec ng vti kicks in at 2500 rpm. if your shifting sa 3000 rpm malamang engage yun. mas matining tunog ng makina kung vtec mode.

sa classmate ko around 4,500 rpm... kick in yo, mahirap marinig yung VTEC lalo na kung naka-mid pipe yung auto, siguro mga 4,600 rpm to 4,800 andun na yung kick nun...
