after having my car dynotuned, my vtec is set to 5200. i notice when i redline first and go into 2nd that i fall out of vtec for about 200rpm then get back into vtec..is that right? because i was told that youre suppose to be in vtec once you go into 2nd..or since it was dynotuned and set there for a reason its okay? thanks

 

What tranny are you using? GSr?

 

As txhatch is getting at, gearing is very important, shorter gears are much less likely to drop you low enough to get out of the VTEC range then longer gears.

Isn't 5200RPM about stock engagement?

If it really bothers you, adjust the engagement point down to match it, but if it has been dyno tuned to be there, just leave it.

 

4400 is stock engagement on a b18c1

 

if you raised the VTEC point, you will drop out when shifting at redline. Are you using a V-AFC? If so, you can set the High to Low cam switchover lower.

 

Isn't it 4400 on a c5

 

no...on a GSR the L->H cam switchover is @ 4400. Then, since the c1 utilizes a dual-stage intake manifold, the secondary runners open at 5750.

the vtec switchover on the ITR is 5400.

 

Actually 5700 @ WOT. h:
