My father's old Si barely saw VTEC in its days. He never really driven it pass that, cause it was an auto.

And I driven my buddy's GSR a couple times, never really felt anything crazy. He said "watch this, watch this, ready? ok, here comes.... felt that?"

"wha?"

i have a D16Z6 ya ya, i can hear it at high rpm/short ram noise, but many people say you can really feel it pull with DOHC VTEC engines
i couldn't hear it or feel it when i had a Z6 motor with I/H/straight pipe exhaust.

now that i've got a B18C, i can definately hear the change-over, but it's nothing that i can feel (compared to a turbo anyways).

took one out lowered breathers...decent torque around town obviously you have to get it above 5500 rpm for any real fun...wasn't that fast though but a nice ride all around.
Stock b20 > stock b18c1

I have been in a few cars with b18c1 and when vtec kicks in it wasn't that noticeable, it got louder but the power was smooth. When the vtec engages on the h22 it is very noticable in sound and power, even in my heavy car.
