- Wed May 23, 2012 3:43 am #305862 ive got probably a stupid question. ive got the d16z6 in my car. was told the vtec hits at 4500.. is that right? i really dont feel it. could the sensor be bad?

- Wed May 23, 2012 4:35 am #305869 Stock it should kick at 5300 or 5500 and go until redline. 4500 is low unless it has a chipped ecu. And if you are completely stock no mod's you really won't feel it or hear hit. Put an intake on only and you will hear the change over.

- Wed May 23, 2012 5:24 pm #305930 its not very pronounced in sohc motors intakes offer the sound alot better than stock airboxes, but your more apt to feel it on a dohc vtec motor and yes it should kick in around 5200 or so

EDIT : meant vtec not ctec lol

- Wed May 23, 2012 5:53 pm #305936 The d16z6 vtec crossover point is 4800 rpm like they said you won't really hear it on a stock setup

Its not about the name of the parts you use its the fact your making the attempt to make it your own

- Wed May 23, 2012 6:29 pm #305941 keep in mind the the stock tach is far from accurate

Stock it should kick at 5300 or 5500 and go until redline. 4500 is low unless it has a chipped ecu. And if you are completely stock no mod's you really won't feel it or hear hit. Put an intake on only and you will hear the change over.

Is there a way you could modify the ecu from 5500-5300 rpm vtec kick into lower rpm?

- Fri May 25, 2012 5:29 pm #306218 Yes you have to have your ecu chipped. Or find one that's chipped and make sure its a vtec ecu and unless your good with a soldering iron have it done by a professional and reputable shop

Its not about the name of the parts you use its the fact your making the attempt to make it your own

- Fri May 25, 2012 5:40 pm #306221 ah so if my car has p28 in it, it needed to be matched or replaced?

I don't know much about the computer and ecu system, lol
