you have to have some kind of electronics chaging it to be that low. VTEC in D16Y8's kick in anywhere from 5300-5500 'til redline. *original Q* ---you gotta keep in mind that Honda doesn't build the cars for the race track (depending on which model car) EX's and below have there perks but no significant 'race quality' from the factory, just enough to get you from point A to point B in a reasonable fashion and a lil better than the previous model civicsBlingStawk said:Wierd , my 99 EX Vtec kicks in at 3500rpm , i feel it , i hear it.

thank god someone that knows what im saying...moving VTEC down the range would do nothing...leave VTEC where it belongs..and if your looking for an easy way to gain power, look somewhere else cuz you wont find it there...handlebarsfsr said:no, if you drop the vtec point you will lose midrange power. lanojp is correct. unless you have significant internal mods, especially cams, you want to leave vtec where it is. usually with an aftermarket cam, the point is moved up the rpm range not down. moving it down will do nothing more than cause the engine to stumble.
