What Vtec feel like???

[MastaCivic]

Well I'm gonna go ahead and duck the flames, but I have a 99' Civic Ex with the d16y8 with i/h/e,cam gear advanced 5 degrees, high flow cat, msd wires, and iridium plugs and I almost always feel a difference in the pull when I reach vtec in my car. Especially in 1st through 3rd gear, it feels like the car is kinda "floating" like Crippy said and my head slightly is pulled back towards the seat (a little bit more than slightly during really hard acceleration). I dunno if this is because I've never really drove a powerful car before, but I have a friend that owns a 96 Cobra with around 400whp while running a NOS setup and he even said that when he drives my car he could feel a difference in pull when vtec kicks in.

i do feel it more in 1st and 2nd, but ive gotten so used to it, it doesnt really affect me anymore. i notice it more now when someone else is driving my car and i just lay back in the headrest

You want to have a vtec experience, try a integra type R, with a cold air intake,stock exhaust and spoon header.The volume gets turned up real quick on this set-up when the vtec ingauges,plus you will feel it pull.

If the motor isn't modded, and the vtec is still set in the stock rpm, it should be a smooth change over, a little pick up, and a slightly altered sound.

If you have modded the motor and lowered teh vtec, it will be a very pronounced bwaaaaaBWAHAAAAAAAAA.

I can feel a nice "kick" in 1st and 2nd gear, but I have a b16b. I took a ride in my sargeant's 99 Si and it wasn't really noticeable at all, just noise. I also drove my uncle's S2000 the other day (stock) and it wasn't much of a kick either, just slightly changed tone and kept revving forever..

<---agrees with burntnoodles....i was 17 when i got my R and i didnt even know how to drive a stick...that vtec feeling was great...especially in 2nd and third gear when the CAI would make the HHHOOUUULLL from like 4400 to 5700 rpm...fell in love. The vtec engagement in my gsr is out of this world.... almost like a rush in 1,2 & 3 rd gears....lol i only get about 90 miles to a tank because of vtec

Why would you feel it more if you take out the cat and exhaust? Would that harm the vehicle?
