  • What's funny is that in "automatic" the car runs right through the 5k rpm range right to the redline. Not sure why the trans does this in manual mode...

  • idiot

  • Vtec just kicked in yo!

  • Yeah, that is perfectly normal for Hondas and Toyotas. Both my '05 TSX in both modes for the auto and my 2000 Camry auto do that......actually, every auto I have ever driven that is connected to an engine with some sort of variable valve timing with the exception of the CVT in my Nissan Murano do that same exact thing.

  • Needs oil! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • ooohh lol soo that's how it workss ...

    is it losing horsepower ?

  • lol i was thinkin it cud've been that . :p

  • Also, there's a difference in i-VTEC with VTEC. i-VTEC is capable of adjusting itself with the intake camshaft by a degree of 20-50* or something like that, while i-VTEC is engage, maximizing engine performance. So, at times, it's doesn't always sound even, it's always adjusting.

    VTEC simply engages the cam lobe designed for maximum performance, not anything more complex than that.

    There's not a hugely significent difference with the performance however.

  • Ehh, it's probably the exhaust. When the engine is put in the mid of the car then the exhaust would be shorter and possibly formed differently.

  • yea true .
