my car is 4xx miles, i kicked VTEC first and second. is there any problem? please let me know, i kinda worried

 

during my prelude break in period, i didnt kick in VTEC.

i am not sure about S2K now ..

 

I dont think that you should you should keep the car at or under 5000 rpm, wait till you break it in, and then vtec it, its worth the wait. but yeah I would try to refrain from doing it anymore till you break in your s. Its your baby, take care of her

 

Exactly how high did you go? Going over 5.5k rpm once or twice won't hurt too bad, as long as it was for a very short moment.

 

.. i will .. i will wait .. i was like after i kicked it ..

Trust me, you won't have any problems. Like I said, I vtec'd off the dealers lot in my Type R and the S. I just wouldn't red-line her right away. Its a Honda.

 

.. i may shuttle down after u r sure this for me ..

i need to keep my S as good as i could druing the break in period ..

There are I know people who don't really believe 'break in' is necessary and there have been no problem with their cars. One guy was redlining his S right off the lot. I drove more conservatively, but I can't say that I was too worried about hitting VTEC at all with my car. And I'm still getting 25-27mpg on my 97 GSR. And it was dynoed a year ago at 150whp with only the intake resonator removed. So breakin/no breakin doesn't guarantee anything. It is more precautionary. Just change your oil regularly.
