Didnt' any notice he said he has a 1.7.... you wont' "feel" it kick in, won't feel it kick anything... If I'm not mistaken it's 5600 for the 1.7.

 

My D15B7 does that in that rpm range anyway... Does that mean i have VTAKK!! lol j/k

 

Thanks all I will listen to it closely next time I really run it.

 

an intake will help you hear it a little better... it's really subtle with a sohc; I've only heard it hit... well, let's just say the number of times I've heard it is still a single-digit number.

 

i can hear it pretty good with mine and mine is a d16z6 and it kicks in about 5400 rpm and it sounds better with a cai

 

keep in mind, it doesn't "kick in" it engages. It is supposed to be a smooth transition.

 

man i gotta a b16a in a 91 ef9 and vetc hits at 5600 and its gotta be the loudest vtec ive ever heard!

 

there's something wrong if its hitting at 5400... I've listened really close to my carlately... vtec is pronounced on a z6 if you listen really closely... try driving on a steep-ish hill where your rpm's climb fairly slow. You'll hear it start doing the whole vtec growl thing around 4500rpm, and then you can hear vtec fully engage around 4800, give or take. I'll get a video clipof it when I get a new camera... I tried to get a clip of it on my razr, but you really can't hear the engine too well... stupid phone lol

 

Get a VTEC controler and just set the points of engagement. Mine kicks at 4400 and I have a SOHC 1.5 D15B

 

it doesn't work like that...
