VTEC-E or # stage VTEC question, comments please..

**mhervin** · February 14th, 2010 06:46 PM

mga sir, kakabili ko lang po ng hatch ko, tapos naka VTEC, nakita ko dalawa, so dual VTEC or 3 stage VTEC. nabasa ko sa net..

pagbabasa ko ng forum, may nabasa ako comment:

>>>>>>>>>

First, make sure it has vtec sir and what kind of vtec does it have.
Is your car an Lxi or a Vti?... definitely aint the SiR...
If it's an Lxi, dont do it again..

They say VTEC engines love to be revved.

Pero may isang klase ng VTEC, called the VTEC-E, which is actually a VTEC system not made for power but for economy. In short, you dont rev VTEC-E's past 4k rpm to feel the kick, because it wont have any...

I tried maxxing out my d15b vtec once sa SLEX when racing a ******* which has an engine way powerful than mine.. Went to redline at 4th gear to max out the vtec and zoom... almost fuel cut and CEL on na.. I never did it again,.. nakalimutan ko lang nun may 5th gear nga pala ko haha.

Point is, even the VTEC power has its threshold... Just because you have VTEC does it mean you can always rev near (really near or on) redline...

nabasa ko po yan, totoo po ba? kasi kahapon, ginagamit ko yung hatch, palagi ko high rev kasi testing ko yung VTEC kung ano feel, galing kasi ako sa non vtec. sarap kasi high rev ganda ng tunog ng engine..

masisira ba talaga?

please enlighten me... tnx po...

no bad comments please, respect..

godspeed!!!

Paps, ako yata nagquote nung text mo sa taas..

Namiss ko tuloy yung Civic ko.

Anyway, based on experience kasi yun nung mag-max out ko to 8500 rpm when the redline of my d15b starts lil bit past 7000.
Yun nag CEL siya at na-feel ko yung fuel cut.

It's up to you paps kung nasa condition ba yung makina mo eh.
Mas high-revving yang sayo dahil 3-stage yan.

As long as nasa condition yung makina mo paps, ok lang siguro paminsan-minsan mag near-redline ka.

Pero mas maganda sana paps kung naka free-flow muffler at headers ka para hindi masyado hirap mag-rev sa upper rpm band yung makina.

Parang mas ok nga ang 421 sa downpipe paps para hindi ka masyado hirap humatak.

Hindi masisira yan kahit hataw ka ng hataw, kaso siyempre alam naman natin ang effect niyan ay mas mabilis ang wear and tear ng internals mo pag talagang madalas. Although maganda rin nga naman paminsan-minsan ang italian tune-up.

Marami kang pang-gas ha
