vtec engagement

[mikey_civic]

ask ko lang sana mga civic owners kung anong rpm nag-eengage ang vtec natin? at a certain rpm po ba ito or at a certain speed? mine is an ek matic po pala, 97 model. tnx!

[ssaloon]

IIRC, around 5500rpm.

[dontheconqueror]

Experience ko dati was at 3500 rpm kumakagat yung vtec. Nung naglagay ako ng vtec light doon ko na-realize na ambagal ko magmaneho - hinding hindi ko napailaw under my normal driving conditions

[mikey_civic]

ganun ba sir? sir patulong naman pano mag-install ng vtec light. para po din malaman ko kung engaged na cya...

[ssaloon]

buy a vtec controller nalang so you can customize the vtec engagement point

[mikey_civic]

* ssaloon - ganun po ba, magkano naman po yung vtec controller?
diretso lang ba yun install sa kotse?

[ssaloon]

not sure how much, mga 8-10k ata para sa bnew na apex'i. could be wrong, though.

[Si 06]

Sa K20Z3 i-vtec 6,200rpm. Closed na daw ang Apex'i bili sana ako ng turbo timer.

Depende ang engagement point sa VTEC engine. Pag gawa sa Pinas yung makina (PH engine codes), malamang VTEC-E yun, SOHC. 2.2k rpm ang engagement point nun.

Pag VTEC DOHC, usually 5.5k rpm. Dont know about the VTEC SOHC, VTEC-3 or i-VTEC.

To be sure, install a VTEC light. DIY lang ng barkada ko in my 97 Accord (VTEC-E), and 2.2k nga ang engagement point.

What will you feel if it really kicks in (that is without vtec light?)For sure there is something you will feel right?.Just asking..

[50 Caliber]

offshoot yata to question ko. Vtec ang para sa honda at vvti para sa toyota? Same principle lang ba? kelan naman nag kick ang vvti?

sir nasa rpm naka base ito. pero syempre if lets say you are already at 6500rpm then bigla ka release ng gas pedal. disengage na vtec nun.

for the matic. sabi ng friend ko hirap sya mag pa vtec kasi nauuna mag shift yung a/t so dapat daw full throttle sya.

Nagbabago powerband parang sa 2 stroke motor may sipa nagagalit

[VtEC]

A ganon ba. Ano naman ba effect pag di nag eengage (kulit, sensya napo )?Usually kasi nasa between 1000 and 2000 lang ako e.Diba the higher the rpm lalo malakas lumamon ng fuel?

tama ka dyan VTEC. pero relatively, on low-rpm matipid ang VTEC.on conventional 16 valved engines, sabay ang 2 intake valves whether low or high rpm while sa VTEC nagkakaroon lang ng engagement sa 2nd set ng intake valve at high rpms. so, matipid ang engine mo at low-rpm, pero powerful sya as rpm progresses.

Thanks bro, now klaro na sa akin.so oks lang pala driving manner ko.

[mikey_civic]

tnx sa mga inputs niyo guys! tanong ko lang sana kung pano mag DIY ng vtec light. di ko naman kailangan ang vtec controller, gusto ko lang malaman kung engaged na ang vtec ko.... tulong naman po dyan sa mga nakagawa na.

[Galactus]

Bro, try to visit hondaclub (http://z3.invisionfree.com/HCP/index.php?act=idx). Dun sa Techtalk forum, Electricals & Electronics, may sticky dun na DIY VTEC light. Very, very detailed with pictures pa. Napakadaling gawin. Just make sure you buy good materials para magtagal.

Basically naman, all you need are LED's, resistors and gauge 20 wires. Yakang-yaka yan bro. I'd help you sana if I had the time.

Good luck mate!

* galactus - bro, tnx for the link!

conditions for vtec: oil pressure, rpm and speed.
