someone told me if i pull back the carpet (where my ecu is the little light on the ecu will light up green when the vtec engages?!?!????

RE: Vtec
 

smac that dude upside his head till his green light turns on. theres no green light on/in your ecu. really the only way to tell if vtec is engaging is to listen carefully between 5k and 6k rpm's. at least for a stock sohc vtec anyways

here are pics of my motor

RE: Vtec
 

in the dohc you can hear it rip like no other. but in the sohc you just have to belive its there. plus its going to be harder to hear with aftermarket header.

RE: Vtec
 

Yep, friends of mine have both and in the ESI its much harder to tell when Vtec enagages.

RE: Vtec
 

not true, I can DEFINITELY hear it on my car.

lmao
yep you'll be able to hear it if it's coming on, plus you should be able to feel it too! lol
it's not gonna pull back the skin on your face like the NOS in fast n furious does though! lmao
and yes it is louder in a dual cam but it's way loud enough to hear in a single cam too! especially with a header and loud exhaust! lol
vtec is sooo over rated anyway! it's great for a stock everyday car but it's not gonna make it some kinda race car though! if ya wanna feel something, then get a lil NOS shot on it! :D
also that hot air intake ya got on there doesnt help matters either! the way ya have that one set up, it just sucks in the hot air from the motor compartment and actually slowes down the car! ya gotta hook it up right so that it gets cool air from outside! ;)
