When i accelerate hard, am I supposed to feel anything? It just feels like any other car accelerating to 7000 rpm (smooth). I was told that the i-VTEC and lift was supposed to give you an extra push or pop at around 6000 rpm. All I get is smooth acceleration (no push or pop) all the way to 7000 rpm. Is this normal? Thank You!!!!!

I can definitely feel it from 6000-7000 rpm. It feels smooth all the way to 6000, and once you hit that, it just takes off like a bat out of hell.

Make sure your foot is all the way down.

You should hear it more than feel it when it hits 6000. I felt it more after installing a CAI.

Actually this is quite the opposite, i-VTEC engines are specifically designed to be a smooth powerband transition in and out of VTEC all the way to redline when compared with the DOHC VTEC design. Of course, the effect of the transition is still there but it's not as "clear felt" when compared with the DOHC VTECs.

Try an Integra Type R or Civic Si for example, when VTEC kicks in. It's an amazing experience. Nothing like what the i-VTECs feel like.

There's nothing like VTEC kicking in on the B18C5 :woot:

Wait till you try the F20c on in your case the F22c ... That'd drop your jaw.

You had an Integra GS-R? Sweet! I am thinking about buying my friend's '99 GS-R.

Greg had a Type R ... If I remember correctly.

I have AT and have not even gone over 5K rpm does that mean i-VECT has never kicked in on my TSX ?

ROFLMAO!

you remind me a friend that I just met. He drives a RSX-S and he told me that the car is very fast at around 4000-5000 rpm. He had the car for more than a year and still haven't tried the last stage vtec on his car yet... lol

I'm not sure if I feel the I-vtec kick in but my car doesn't sound right when I get to those high RPM's. It reminds me of my old Pueguet 505 Turbo S.

You usually feel the Cam Switch (i-VTEC) more on cars that have low Torque (Civic Si/Integra Type-R)..the power band on the TSX is alot smoother. Adding a Cold Air Intake will bring out the beast! if u want to "hear" it. "whaaaaaaaaaaaaWHAAAAAA".. the "WHAAAAAA" is really quick though!.. phuckin 7,100rpm sh!t
