Noticed this in my lsi the first week i had it..To all of you who have an lsi civic you ever feel like its got like some sort of mini vtec, revs seem to produce way more power after 4k revs, any ideas?
maybe that power boost is your foot going through the floorboard begging for more?I never understood that either, i'm running a non-vtec DX coupe here in canada, and at 4100 rpm, i'm getting a noticeable power boost, can't complain but quite odd!!!
i bet, hell on the USDM 88-91 D15B1 motors the second injector kicks on at around 2700 to 2900 rpms, and you can notice it then too. but my motor still sucks, waiting for the ls to be done so i can rev the s**t out of the 15 and blow it to motor hellmaybe that power boost is your foot going through the floorboard begging for more?
Thanks for the info, it might be usefulI swear, the lack of reading comprehension by some people on this forum amazes me. It DOES NOT have Vtec for all the jackasses that made a comment about "gee when did honda create vtec"
To the op, it's called combustion sir. You know, your car runs off it. The higher rpms, the more pressure and combustion, therefore, more power. It's just that it's on such a small level, you don't notice it in the lower rpms. I know what you mean, in 3rd gear around 40mph mine starts to pick up a lot. You can suddenly feel the accelaration.
