I was just curious if any of you guys know much about Vtech, I think mines broken, it doesn't seem to kick in anymore. I don't understand why it would break though :sobs:

Hmm. Why it would break? Maybe because it is made by Honda?! :laughing: Only kidding. I dont know. Probably will have to take it to some auto shop.

bastard...lol why do you all have to diss hondas? they are great cars.......THIS IS NOT A BASHING MY CAR THREAD...just asked a simple question :sigh::(

Im sorry.

hmmm should i help u or not? ;p

check ur oil level.. and is the check engine light on?

The oil levels are fine...and nope ;\


sdfa;jsdlfkjsd My car is running fine, I just don't feel the vtech kicking in anymore.

ohh ok cuz if the oil is low it wont kick in... hmm i dunno what else it could be. let me ask my friend when he gets online

i pmed u the other day but u never replied btw...

my brother says that Vtech doesn't do anything special unless you have a controller for it, but I don't believe that because i used to be abel to feel mine kick in, and my friend beccas you can feel kicking in and she doesn't have a controller


werd, I didn't get a pm from you.

i totally don't get this thread.. lol u need more description then thatt

For those who know what I'm talking about I think I was descriptive enough.

ok as the l337 honda master of this web board, lets first discuss why all of you are morons when it comes to VTEC-

its not Vtec, v-tec, vtech, or any other combination of the letters V T E and C other than "VTEC"

this stands for variable valve timing and electronic lift control, im am going to go out on a limb here and assume that none of you have the faintest clue as to what that is and give a very brief description:

VTEC is an actual mechanical difference in certain Honda engines that allows a seperate section of the Camshaft to engage in higher RPM's.

you DO NOT need a VTEC controller to engage it and im pretty it wouldnt just stop working, maybe you just aren't getting the engine speed high enough to engage the VTEC

What model Civic do you have? EX, DX, LX?

Im sure most of us knew all that about "VTEC" already.

But thanks for the info!

I have an 02 ex


*edit*


:sigh: I felt the need to be nice :\

i bet u cant make anotha thread like this on this forum without getting bitched at :)

heyy man wat kinda engine u got in it? i know me i got a 1.6 vtec and i can feel it kick in mildly but not overly much. ALSO what kinda computer u got in it? my friend got a B16C not too long ago and for some reason the VTEC wasnt doin too much. But then he put a new SiR computer in it and myyyy fckk the thing has pull! lol at around 5k revs it'll push u rite back to ur seat like nothinn sooo check that out. Just lemme know wat kinda engine/computer u got. Another thing could be the plugs n wires? header's n valves ok? OHH btw how do u drive it?? redline or just easy? cuz usually the VTEC doesn't kick in till around 5000 or so, depends on the motor.

...you retard, this thread is four years old. These people aren't even members anymore.

never noticed.. o well since all the replys were useless least i put some info up.

Because I know this will be funny.

Vtec is a joke, Guitarplaya your car is slow. What does it run 0-60 and 1/ 4 mile times?

I can't wait to see this

c, im so rite

c, im so rite

See, I'm so right

Thats what you MEANT to type, its alright, language is hard for some people.

I'm not sure how old this thread is but it was on the first page of the automotive section so I clicked it. Anything that has the title ' Vtec ' has to be funny. VTEC is not fast, it doesn't put you back in your seat. Thats a lie.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that your 0-60 time is probably slower than your quarter mile time.

:\ it is kinda cool though when it chirps the tires between gears.

yea yea i kno hw 2 spell but i dnt feel like spelling properly on here, its not a english exam or nething.. u understood wat i sed neways..........

My Festiva can do the same.

My dad's focus SE can do that....

wtf old ass thread. I thought liss was here :o

vtec solenoid, or the ECU.
its harder to hear in the single cams.
just wire up a vtec light

LOL

So you can be like the guy in the video and say "VTEC!" when shifting gears.

you dont need a VTEC for the chirp

you dont need a VTEC for the chirp

I didn't say you needed it, I just said I liked it. And while VTEC isn't by any means fast, a Civic Si is a lot faster and a lot more fun than a regular Civic.

No i totally agree with you. im gettin a 91-94 civic hatchback LSVTEC. Putting the block or an RL with the head of an RSX type S. Be about 240hp after putting less than 5 grand into a car that i can get for about 3 grand

Believe it when I see it.

Be about 240hp after putting less than 5 grand into a car that i can get for about 3 grand

That is sad. My Thunderbird was over 350hp with a price tag of around $3000 which includes the price of the car itself. I can also garauntee you it looked, drove, and handled better than any 91-94 Civic. Also, it had torque.

Vtec is great, if you wanna run 15's for the rest of your life... :rolleyes:

Ya but the civic weighs about 10 lbs. its a fricken mouse, i bet it would beat ur heavy ass thunderbird. Out at the legal races out here called "race legal" www.racelegal.com there are a few civic hatchbacks that smoke the american cars. Even the cobras and mach1.

lol, no it wouldn't beat the T-bird.

T bird = TORQUE. Probably, 450ft lbs.

Honda with equal horsepower = 250 ft lbs.

too bad i seen the exact race with the civic winning buddy

VTEC's SUCK ASS!!!!

go get a LS7 and put it in a civic (only if it would fit damn ha) that would be Funny as hell

I never managed to make it to the 1320, however Thunderbirds with silimar mods were doing high14's-low13's. Which is fairly impressive for a 3800lb La-Z-Boy with a V8. The bottom line is that my horserpower per dollar ratio would always be better than you could hope for with an 4cyl engine and given equal ammounts of money my car would always be faster. Not to mention more comfortable. With the $5000 dollars invested you brag about I could have easily pulled 12's or 11's.

Also I am not impressed that modded Civics can beat stock Mach1's and Cobras. Why would you spend that much money on a CIVIC to make ti faster. It entirely defeats the point and makes the care worthless on the road.

Its called the V8 killer. Quik question, ur quote has you sayin "im so JDM i sleep on the right side of the bed" if u are so into jdm, why bash the tuner world?

No, it's not called the V8 killer.


Fine, maybe a Grand Marquis. Good job, you can beat a car that's made for your own grandmother. Congratulations.

anyone remember the episode of pinks were that riced out civic with the fat ass kid needed like 20 car links against a WS6 Trans Am and still only barely won?

His vtec went out, lol.

And Vtec is nothing to brag about unless its for who gets better gas mileage.

"V8 Killer" sure, untill someone who actully knows what they are doing comes around. I'll never understand why you Hot Import Nights fanboys will never admit that the 4cylinder engine, while it can be fast, dollar per dollar and pound for pound will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever be able to top V8's when it comes to hp-per-dollar. There really is no replacement for displacement and I don't care how good your engine is, the more displacement it has, the faster you can make it. I don't mind imports but when it comes to tuning I prefer V8's simply becuase they're better.

Also if you don't understand that my siganutre is a rip on tards like you...well...of course you don't.

I cant see why anyone would want to rice up a four potter either.
Im purchasing a 4 pot city car on sunday. Mentioned this on another forum and I was inundated with questions like "what are you gonna do to it" "how fast is it on the strip"
The answer was and is drive it and occasionally clean it. As for the strip??? Sod off its a 4 pot. I wouldnt waste the entrance fee.

Why am I buying it then? Mostly because condition wise its perfect and money wise its virtually free.
Ive got a V8 that I can use if I want a hoon. Couldnt start it up past 10pm here though.

I had a point to this post, but ive lost my way now. I think it was along the lines of dont kid yourself a 4 pot is fast, use them for what they were designed as: Shopping trolleys and run abouts.

JC, I logged on AIM, you aren't there. Makes me sad :(

aww i'll go on now. :)
Sorry i missed u

Your addy is still MNS******* isnt it?

while it can be fast, dollar per dollar and pound for pound will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever be able to top V8's when it comes to hp-per-dollar.
sometimes HP per dollar isn't the most important thing. if you're hobby is tuning, then i'm sure you're going to spend a good chunk of money no matter what. But some people just prefer a certain car/brand and certain setups, and certain options that are available in xxx brand and not xxx brand.

That is sad. My Thunderbird was over 350hp with a price tag of around $3000 which includes the price of the car itself. I can also garauntee you it looked, drove, and handled better than any 91-94 Civic. Also, it had torque.
could i see some proof? im always seeing you throw out these numbers but i havnt seen nothing to back it up.

It's true. I've seen pix.

It was never impressive to look at. I wasn't interested in chrome or shiny accessories. Also the paint was bad because I never got around to caring about it and it suffered from the top-coat oxidization that lots of 90's Ford did. So picture a '93 Thunderbird with red paint, aluminum 16" wheels, supercoupe seats on the grey interior and a supercharger strapped to the engine.

i got one 2...muh cars 11 years old n ive never had an issue w/ it

Doesn't matter what it looks like. What matters is how fast it goes.

It is funny when your own a car that is actually decently fast, you seem to care less about how it looks. Now that my car is slow(er) I am obsessive about its looks.

check ur oil level.. and is the check engine light on?Thats the advice you give him? You've got to be kidding. Ricer crying that his VTEC doesn't kick in anymore..rofl!!
