After 600 miles on MY07 S2k...
My first push was on second gear, than did serveral other test in 1st -4th.
Here is my observation, 1) The S2k VTEC transaction is not too smooth, where I can feel VTEC kicks in at around 6k-6.5k, is that correct? 2) I don't think its fully broken in yet, because I think it should be faster? 3) Even though the maunal says after 600 miles is fine to push it, I felt I have just abused a fairly new motor, no? At what stage did your car feels faster after break in period? 1000? 3000? Thank You |
My vtec crossover is very smooth but I can notice it. 600 miles is enough for the break in period. I heard your car will run faster after 30,000 miles or something.

I think it was a video I saw where they dyno'd two S000's one with low miles and one that had ~30k. They were both the same year and the one with high mileage made more power. Not 100% sure though :p

Car is just a baby right now. Once it hits its teenage years (around 10k-12k) these things really start to go. I noticed it with my car. Many others have commented the same results.

your car sounds like its running just fine. You will definitely notice the VTEC change over (I've driven a handful of ap1 and ap2's) when your below the engagement rpm.
As for the engine making more power with more miles. I would prob think that the higher numbers were due to carbon deposits upping the compression ratio of the engine just a bit. Plus it will be well broken in. -Brian |

car gets faster as it gets older. more carbon build up=more compression=higher hp=little faster.

The car isnt exactly that fast so i'm not sure what you're expecting in terms of straight line performance but i waited til 600 to vtec too.
Do you guys get that sometimes? |
