Please, can somone descibe in detail what do you feel an here when your RPM riches the VETC. Today was my first time at 601 miles and I could not tell if my VETC works or not. Thnks

 

VTEC is variable vale timing, meaning that a different cam lobe kicks in at about 6000 rpm. A pin slides over which engages the lobes that allow the engine to breath more deeply. Check out this video, it's a great representation of what is happening when VTEC engages...

There will be no mistaking when VTEC kicks in. Check your oil, it may be low. You will feel distinct increase in acceleration, the revs will increase more rapidly (very sort time to rev limiter), and the pitch in the exhaust will go up.

 

Thanks, but is there a way to tell whether mine works?

 

I think what everyone is trying to say is that you should feel it. Basically right when you think the engine is about to flatten out at 6-7K, all of a sudden, it kicks in and you take off a bit.

Now, I think that you may be confused if you came from a turbo-charged car. You see, I had a Porsche 930 Turbo cabriolet right before this car. It took me a while to really understand what all the hub-bub was about for the VTEC kick. The 930 has a KICK. However, once you drive other normally aspirated cars, you'll understand what the VTEC kick is. In fact, you'll learn to appreciate it more and more.

You should be able to feel and hear a difference in the sound. Especially if you run under a tunnel or have the car on a dyno. When I watched Krazik run his car on the dyno, there was no mistaking the VTEC kick from the sound.

 

I didn't notice it the first day I drove it back from Seattle (Friday) but yesterday putting to/from work I gave it a gas and definitely felt it... today's trackday really brought it out as well.

This engine loves to rev so much and still pulls so high that I hit my rev limiter on the first few laps. Whoops... I also really noticed how stiff the body is compared to my friend's M Coupe (which I drove around a few laps)... that guy can fly in that thing! But the chassis, which I thought was pretty rigid the first time I took a spin in it earlier this year, was flexing considerably more than the S2k.

Love that M torque but at $10k less, the 'S' is a steal.

 

Keep your foot "in it" as you pass through 6000 rpm and you should feel it, Avi. Don't ease off too early...this is a very important part of what the car is all about!

 

Your car won't rev to 9K without VTEC working properly. If the car is reving to 9k then VTEC is working.

 

You should feel a BURST in acceleration when you pass 6K RPM. Make sure to floor it to get the full effect. Like others said, check you oil level and make sure you have 3 bars in your temp gauge. Happy VTECing!

 

The Vtec actually kicks in at 5850rpm
according to a video made by Best Motoring and Honda.
