yea i figured..but theres no way an eninge (car eninge) could continue to make power at that high of RPM ...right

 

not a d series. that's for damn sure.

 

thats what i figured... kinda seemed mmhm well retarted but didnt want to deal with an arfument at the time...ill just have to show him thisthread...

 

I have a VTEC engagement light, and I live in northeastern ohio and mine engages on a cold start.

 

1st why bring up an old thread...

2nd why the hell would u rev your car that high when its cold, sounds pretty stupied and a great way to shorten the life of your motor...

 

why the hell would you take it to vtec when it's still cold? :slap:

 

Excellent point... People are retarded...
Honestly, if you knew how bad it is to "take it into VTEC" when the motor is cold, you would never do so...
It's engineered to "turn on" when the oil has come to the proper temperature, which equates to the proper viscosity...
For many reasons, the computer limits engagement of VTEC when the engine is cold. Among them are:

-Proper viscosity - a cold oil isn't "thick" enough to transfer enough force to engage the VTEC system. Besides a cold oil is too thin to properly lubricate the engine...
-Engine performance is not at it's peak, until the engine is at operating temperature.
-Cold is the enemy of ductility... The pistons, connecting rods, etc are all more brittle when the engine is cold. Why beat it when it is more susceptible to damage?

Basically, there is a safeguard against complete idiots who might think it's a good idea to rev the hell out of their motors when they are cold. LOL

 

Since we're already talking about vtec, my dad swapped out my busted [old] 95 vtec engine about a year ago, and apparently put a 94 vtec, but it feels a little different. How can i tell its really vtec and that they didnt just put a cover on the engine?

Stupid noob question but thats how im gonna learn right?

 

read the engine code

 

Umm... this:?
