Vtec question

[evil_demon_01]

Or I could ask around on here; and go to her with a concrete answer and make myself sound really smrt.

It's difficult to describe, but I might have been able to feel it in some of the different pedal variations I was using.

For example: I going about 45 at 2500(?) revs. I put my foot down a little, I sped up A LOT and the revs didn't move.

Well if you put it like that, Its sounds like your trying to find a problem that doesn't exist.
You can try and make yourself sound smart, or you can just as easily make yourself sound really dumb.

Take it to a dealer and within a couple of minutes they can tell you if Vtec is operational with the HDS.

Your transmission shifted. That has nothing to do with VTEC operation.

All VTEC does is change the amount the valves are opened, and the amount of time that they're opened for. It wouldn't affect how the engine revs.




Think of VTEC this way... you're running. Breathing through your nose. You need more oxygen to fuel your muscles as you expend more energy, so you start to inhale through your mouth as well. That's VTEC.

So if I carried around a gas mask filled with Oxygen, would that be NOS?

If the trans shifted, wouldn't I see some change in revs? Yes I was pushing the pedal but I think there would at least be some change.

Your transmission may not have shifted. Depending how far onto the throttle you were, and your previous speed and RPM, you may not have reached the torque converters stall point. You would be able to slowly accelerate without much change in RPM until your speed in that gear matched the stall speed of the torque converter, from which point your RPMs would begin climbing with your increase of speed.
