happy_duppy SG

halo,

can anyone share the views on when the vtec will starts activated while driving?? heard is ON when it hits 80km/h.

anyone to verify??

[A]J SG

it comes on when it hits a certain RPM... u can tune it urself... stock comes at 5000 usually Very Happy VTEC RULES!!!!

bcyn SG

yupz....its usually about 5000rpm. when u heard a high pitch sound comming frm your engine bay.
but remember with power comes more fuel. so open ur vtec more often and u find urself visting the petrol station more often too..

Hi guys...

so happy today.. just came back from honda. Earlier in the morning, i tested VIOS and find it not bad accept it's too crampy. Interms of pickup, still quite okie. BUT, after i test drive JAZZ and CITY. i find their engine really powerful. The honda SE told me, now what i have tried on CITY is only a i-dsi engine, vtec wld be even more powerful.

Now what troubles me wld be the colour to choose. Engine wise, most likely will be getting the one with vtec engine since it is only a few K diff... but it add alots of other goodies compared to 03 CITY.

i heard from an agent saying

if you don't drive fast, no point getting a VTEC

happy_duppy SG

eeehhhh..... how fast is your fast?? actually, when the RPM hits 5000, what wld be the speed like in km/h ar...???

with vtec engine CITY is only 4k more and you get 15" tyres and sports rim also and things like adjustable steering and driver height as well where for prev model dont have...[/i]

kopiosatu SG

well my friend's car open at 8K... Confused

happy_duppy SG

Does anyone knows what is the speed like when the RPM hits 5000rpm?? i want to imagine leh…. is it 120km/h and above??

eutjin SG

it depends what gear you are in ...... Rolling Eyes

hmmm ..... haven't you ever driven a car before? if you have ...... take a look at the rpm meter Shocked

it's very hard to give you a good gauge, cause it's different for every car, unless someone has exactly the same car you're asking about. it must be exactly the same car and model, plus no mods, cause the gear ratios can be tuned

[A]J SG

depends on the gear box ratio... dunno wat the city n jazz using now... a 4.4 gear box will travel at 100kmh when at 4th gear, 4000rpm, a 4.785 typeR gearbox with LSD n final drive is faster... check with the agent wat gear box its using...
anyway, when u wan the vtec to come can be tuned, using alot of equiments eg motec or vafc, u wan 1500 vtec oso can, wahahaha, but tats for crazy pple... my vtec comes at 5800 & 2nd one comes at 7000... Very Happy

Jazz engine powerful meh? its only a 1.3l although on paper they write 1.4... My fren even got to lower his air con speed so as not to compromise the power of the engine... Go for Fit 1.5 vtec from PI if u want the Fit/Jazz + power... But city 1.5 vtec wld b a good chocie too Smile

bo liao SG

V-tec power lah, if u try SIR, open at 5k still ok, but at when open the 2nd time at the 7k there, te feel is gd lea...

my old prelude although not power at pick-up but when v-tec open, can easily hit 170+km/h...

lowem SG

"Jazz", "City" and "powerful" in the same sentence. Hmmm ... Razz

Driven the B16 series engine before? That, was powerful. That, was DOHC VTEC at its (former) fire-breathing 160 hp best.

Too bad they don't make these any more. Emissions and environmental friendliness, you see.

Today, you can get a K20A with 220 hp - Integra Type R is one of the uh, "platforms". We're seeing more of these on the roads.

lowem SG

Yeah, at 7K rpm notice that you tend to hit very illegal speeds very quickly ... Razz
