You can actually hear the engine sound change when it switches to VTEC. In my car this seems to happen just a hair above 6000 RPM at WOT.

[QUOTE=Wisconsin S2k,Jan 24 2006, 12:05 PM] this is the kind of misinformation I'm referring to.
believe it or not, the ECU DOES use the TPS as one of the many sensors/determining factors as to when it engages the hi-cam profile. (God forbid slowS2k read this thread) in fact, it even uses vehicle speed sensors.

Hits around 6000-6200RPM in my car. (AP2)
620 miles and I've VTEC'd a good 50 times already.

thinking that vtec isnt kicking in was and still an issue to me. I think ever since i installed my exhaust system (blitz TT) I felt less of a kick when engaging vtec. So, I test drove my friends stock S2K and noticed the vtec kick! Could it be from the modification(s)? Could this be from a lack of backpressure or inbalance of airflow? Would an CAI intake system along with headers balance out the overall airflow? Sorry for the generic terms. Im not a mechanic, but improper airflow seems logical to me... Thanks
