AFAIK the 2001-2005 Civics have Vtec-3 engines, according to the sticker at the rear windshield. And napansin ko nga rin na if you floor the gas, when the rpm reaches somewhere near 2500rpm, biglang lalakas yung hatak, then somewhere 3500+ lalakas bigla yung hatak even more, and at about 5000+ bigla ulit lalakas yung hatak and parang full power nya is near redline.
I've read before somewhere na Vtec engines are high-rev engines, where their power is at the peak somewhere in the high revs like 5000+, and the low rpms is where its power is least. unline the Lancer daw which is a low rev engine so malakas ang hatak at low revs, and kung at high revs na, hirap na humatak. Also sa Nissan napansin ko, sa low revs, malakas ang hatak, and when you rev it higher, humihina ang hatak, baliktad nung sa Civic namin.
Maybe thats why matipid, during normal driving, you dont really need to rev high, thus not much power is needed. Sa other cars, malakas siguro ang FC kasi during normal driving at low revs, nandun yung power so malakas rin ang need for fuel. Well thats what i think.
I like our 1.6 Vtec 3 being able to outrun 2.0L cars when needed, yet consuming fuel like a 1.3 car when driving normally.
see my pahabol statement above. i mean, i can go on vacation anytime. but my spouse has her...
