why would you want 4k rpm vtec? ur taking a huge loss in power engaging the secondary cam profile that early in the rpm range

[Questionssm]

no there wasn't a loss in power.

Look, I don't know much about cars and I'm trying to learn. No nasty messages please, what exactly does the K-pro do.

The reason I ask is I just bought a stock 2002 SiR Honda Civic and I wanna put some money into it. Starting off with exaust and maybe a header, and possibly a cold air intake. Also if I eventually went turbo, would the cold air intake still be of use? These probably seem like really obvious questions but I really have no where else to ask about this kind of stuff.

[Questionssm]

K-pro allows total control of all aspects of the engine. there for the performance possibilities are only limited by the engine modifications. a stock RSX Type S will only see moderate gains like what was shown in the video.

How would mustangguy know? Has he had one of these cars on a dyno and compared switchover RPM's back-to-back? At least in the F2xC world lowering VTEC engagement below the stock 6000 RPM point improves midrange torque. Honda sets the crossover high on purpose so that under most driving conditions the high lobe is never activated for noise, emissions, and efficiency purposes.

And no offense, but automotive "techs" are some of least knowledgeable bunch when it comes to tuning and modifications.

Hope you've built the head since then....

and to the people the "liked" @RGiggi86Mustang50 you guys are a bunch of wannabees. know your S-HI-T

@RGiggi86Mustang50

The video obviously doesnt support the reason why v tec is dropped at 4k, but it is dropped low for when the car is WOT from a dead stop. 4kvtec in first gear really makes a differnce, then when you shift into 2nd gear your back above 6k rpms. Learn from the facts not from the fools you noob

keep redlining and your engine won't last long

@dalailama83 Dont buy a header if you are going turbo...waste of money

[aesnowb04]

@dalailama83 oh and another thing if your gonna get hondata kpro you will need a 02-04 acura rsx type s ECU then kpro. you might as well just get a compatible piggy back ecu for your car instead of spending a couple grand since your just starting out. Check out some honda forums theres alot of info. do your research kid

[aesnowb04]

@dalailama83 kpro is an upgrade to your ECU and can change alot of the characteristics of your engine tune ie. what rpm vtec engages at, timing fuel ratio etc. Generally when you get Kpro you will need it to be dyno tunned to make it worth your money. and before you tune it you want all your mods on it so the car to be specifically tunned to what it is capable of. And a cold air intake will be of absolute no use if you have a turbo. Your intake will be routed to your intercooler once u turbo.

[mamella76]

only kpro???That type of honda is??I do not know this scoreboard

[RSXYYY]

@RGiggi86Mustang50 why would u let off at 8500+ on stock internals? who cares what ecu it has.

[LazySniper]

That vtec sounds kinda cool when it engages that early.
