sohcVTEC-E Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If variable valve timing has to be under load to engage how can a dyno reading be accurate? Is a dyno enough load to make it engage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 There is no load sensor on an engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 I know... I figured it just needed force against the engine in order to kick in. So I'm assuming it has to do with the neutral position sensor then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 do you know what a dyno is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yes I know what a dyno is... I am assuming that VTEC will kick in when the NPS tells the ECU that the car isn't in neutral. Thank you for the pointless reply 97accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Arent they those creatures that used to walk the earth before humans did, and they made a movie about them where they cloned them and brought them back, i think it was called Jurrassic Park.

00' Ex Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 S2000 stock and then with Intake/TB. Vtec clearly engages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 VTEC won't engage unless you are at a percentage of throttle and above. I'm guessing around 60-70% throttle, but it will not be engaged if you are cruising at a rpm above the VTEC point with only slight throttle. The amount of load on the car/engine has nothing to do with VTEC and affects it none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Okay. My voc. ed. teacher is a retard. He told me that the engine needs to be under load... I knew that when you sit there in neutral and rev the engine VTEC won't engage, I was just wondering if it had anything to do with load or the NPS thanks for the dyno sheet 00' EX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 neutral position sensor? A dyno puts a load on the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdelsol Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 It's oil pressure that activates vtec, isn't it? we you just have to imagine the oil pressure isn't high when you're reving the car or when you're only giving it slight throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Either way, VTEC engages on a dyno. Bottom line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 vtec kicks in weather u r in neutral or not. vtec is engaged my oil pressure. when u reach a certain RPM and oil pressure the vtec kicks in. VTEC 101: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Wrong. VTEC doesn't engage in Neutral junior. Re-take VTEC 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch92 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 actually i think u need 2 retake it. my friends integra, my civic, and my friends civic, all have vtec and vtec engagement lights. watch the oil pressure of ur car when it's in neutral and watch ur RPM's. it gets to about 4800 -5200 and Vtec kicks in. all 3 cars r the same. y do u think if u remove vtec the car only revs so high?

sohcVTEC-E Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 You are an idiot. First off, all three cars are not the same. VTEC engages at totally different times in a Civic and an Integra (depending on if you have the stock engine in). I have economy VTEC and I've opened my oil cap and revved the engine to 5000. The second intake valve doesn't open. So you can keep thinking it engages in neutral. Post some pics of all these "VTEC engagement lights" lighting up in neutral. And next time you argue with someone, make sure it isn't two regs that will always have tons more knowledge than you will. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 They're right. VTEC won't kick in nuetral. You can tell people that all you want, but it won't make it true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sohcVTEC-E Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hatch92- You are full of it!!! I disconnected my VTEC once and took my car to the redline. Granted I was losing 20-30 HP. You can rev your car all the way when VTEC is un-hooked. Dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolLesHonda Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Of course you can. Hatchboy knows nothing about VTEC. He knows nothing period. Oh, and by the way, before you try talking crapt to anyone about knowing stuff, get your facts straight, because you sound like a total tool. Noob.
