It's not going to plaster you to your seat when VTEC kicks in, especially if it's stock.

"if" you have a cold air intake you can hear it as well as a bigger exhaust.but if its stock you wont feel it pull like its supercharged.

 

I have a z6 swapped into my CRX, and i have an AEM cold air...i don't hear a difference when mine kicks in. I just tapped into the wire going to the solenoid and put a little light off it to make sure mine works If you have a decently "built" motor (more than just a couple pep boys add on's)then and only then will you really feel a difference.

 

Somebody lock this thread. I am so ------- sick of people talking about vtec on sohc engines. Nobody ------- cares!

 

WELL somebody cares enough to post a topic and then others cared enoughto reply.....all but YOU, jackass.now you can lock this thread.

 

why don't you disconnect the vtec on your car if nobody cares. See what happens to your 216hp.

 

That's not what I meant you asshats. What I meant was that I read a new thread almost every day from somebody asking why they can't hear or feel vtec on their sohc engines. You won't feel a kick when vtec engauges on a sohc engine... simple as that. The first thing I did when I got my car (d16z6 sohc engine) was rip throgh 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear because I wanted to see what this vtec was about and I didn't feel ----. It's nothing like a b-series motor.

 

Hey oscar, just do a run with no intake piping. You should hear it and not necessarily feel it.

 

i feel it on my z6 but mine is midified a bit.. you can hear it and its as loud as the B series stuff.
