New to VTEC. Noobie Question
I have a 98 GSR. When I hit about 5800 RPMs (or is it 4800?) I hear something opening. Same thing when the RPMS go down. I think it is around the 5800 RPM mark where I hear something close. I'm thinking this has something to do with the VTEC.
What is it that I am hearing?
Thanks for any help on this newbie question

Your hearing the cam turn into your highter lift that's the VTEC kicking in/ In a properly timed GSR it should kick in around 5500rpms. Your wheel size can change this too.

Thanks for the help. I am running the stock wheels and I'm fairly sure it is kicking in a bit higher then 5500. Maybe 56 or 57. Does this mean I should have someone take a look at it?
Thanks
Thanks

No no and no. VTEC on a stock GSR is set at 4400 RPM, doesn't matter what wheels he has. The stock intake manifold on a GSR has secondaires that open up at 5800, that is the noise he is hearing.
