i got a 94 gs-r ... when i first got the car it was bonestock nothing done to it whatsoever...the vtec sounded great at about 5600 it sounded fairly loud(stock)....the only thing i put in afterwards was an aftermarket filter, and it sounded very good and loud at 5600...now the transition doesnt seem as lound anymore..oil change perhaps?..i dont kno ne suggestions ..!!

 

that happened to me when i installed a cold air intake. are you getting any codes or is it just not loud enough. maybe your filter needs to be cleaned/replaced.

 

is your VTEC still functioning? The key to a loud VTEC is a good intake system. If your VTEC system is still working check the filter, it might be reducing the airflow enough to affect the sound of the vtec transition.

 

For me personally, I find the best thing you can do in terms of transition is have a cold-air. It seems to reverberate more sound through the intake charge pipe making the sound of the intake lobe change nice & loud

 

Your just getting deaf or use to it.

 

well first of all vtec on a GSR is at 4400-4500....the noise you are hearing at 5600 is the IABs (big throttle plate like thing in the intake manifold opening up).

 

ur Vtec wont kik in hard unless u can shift fast and u feel a jerk in da wheels, dat meens u hit full Vtec, sounds like ur only hitting part Vtec

 

pretty sure i can shift fast enough and im positive i wasnt hittin "part vtec" man... its not the filter and my vtec works jus not as loud as before...goin for an oil change, well see what happens

 

your a douche vtec is at 4400rpm. Refer to what zman said above.

i kno vtec starts at 4400....douche.. i was speaking of the sound that u hear at 5600 ..that wasnt as loud as before..not when vtec ACtually engages...
but problem is solved..needed an oil change!!!

your missing my avatar and my sig. Learn how to quote people along with reading your manual.

Your still a idiot for refering to vtec at 5600rpm. Your even more of a idiot for making a post on the sound of "vtec"

keep digging a hole for yourself. Idiot!

 

bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhha vtak power.

 

....what

 

that's sig worthy. young richie beat everyone to the punch.

richie 1 cheetah - 10

 

LOL! I guess there's a third lobe on the cam for part vtec! :rolf:

 

Actually there are 3 lobes on DOHC VTEC cams....primary, secondary and the vtec lobe.

IABs have nothing to do with VTEC, its a throttle plate that is opening inside of the intake manifold at 5600rpms, its actuated by vacuum and a solenoid signal....nothing more. Some people seem to think GSR's have dual stage vtec or 2 vtecs, but they don't. Just vtec at 4400rpms and the IAB's opening at 5600rpms.

 

what's IAB's?

 

Individual After-Burners

 

only your exhaust vtec is working which is causing the loudness to go out the muffler where you can't hear it.

 

AHHAHA omg.

 

lol

 

... oh my
