Is MY2003 VTEC really adaptive?
As Road Rage stated, VTEC is either ON or OFF, there is no "hard on" (
) or "soft on" or "kind of on". If there is a difference in feel from one VTEC event to the next, it would have to be due to throttle position, fuel trims, timing curves, engine / oil temp, heat soak, etc.
On a side note, I don't understand why anyone would even want a "VTEC Kick". If you are getting a strong VTEC transition, then you are loosing power (area under the curve). A VTEC controller is very usefull to maximize the power curve by lowering the VTEC engagement. I have my VTEC engaging at 5500 RPMs, which gives a VERY smooth VTEC transition.

about the smooth vtec engagement. if its smooth, it means you're making decent amount of power right before 6k rpm. a big change is not good at all, and we all know the 5-6k rpm zone is a "dead spot" on our engines.
I looked for a while at the schematic for the entire fuel system, as well as the VTEC actuator, and see nothing to indicate that it has a dynamically variable invocation.
The diff in transition between the MY04's and the heritage cars is likely a function of the superior midrange punch of the new car. If you go from little to something in a hurry, it seems like more. If you go from a little more to something, it seems like less.
Whatz the big mystery?
