Your engine doesnt have a real noticeable VTEC sound since its not a DOHC VTEC. But you're doin the right thing and its probably ok. I have an 02 EX and the VTEC is very subtle when I need to get up an go.

VTEC isnt THAT great. Its not going to sound that loud unless you have a GSR or above. on sohcs vtec is not noticeable
|
RE: is my vtec kicking????
if it its not that great. than why is mini me swap so common?
|
RE: is my vtec kicking????
Because it adds a little power? Im not sayin VTEC doesnt do anything, but its nothing THAT great. I have a SOHC Vtec motor and im running a 19T turbo at 10psi on it, and I cant really tell when vtec is kicking in.

hey can some body explain me what a mini me swap is?? how can i get it? and how much it cost? Thanks you all for helping me
|
RE: is my vtec kicking????
mini me swaps are for heads that are non-vtec, like the d15y engine i do believe, please correct me if im wrong as i dont know all that much about em. but being that u have an ex and have vtec, u dont need a mini-me swap...

RE: is my vtec kicking????
