instead of just havin a feature that i cant use.
dont bash it till u try it.
more importantly dont bash others for experimenting.
but audi (dyno guy) himself told me that changin vtec engagement slightly would make an increase in horse power.
ok, hold up. read my posts and come again.
im not bashin u, far from it. i tried this same experiment awhile back. as for audi, changing the vtec may give increases... but not on a stockish engine. by lookin at a dyno chart.. if the torque curve is smooth over the vtec engagment, it is in the the right place. mine is like that, thus i said there isnt much poin tin trying to change it as it is already where it should be
as i said before, if ure engine is modded, then u will have something to gain from it. thats y i asked to see ure dyno. anyways.. if u have a jump in torque when vtec engages, lowerin the vtec will increase power in the region just beofre the vtec used to engage. if there is a torque sag... the vtec should be higher.
the more aggressive the cam profiule, the later the vtec should come in. EG. when i was running ITR cams in a b16, vtec at 5800 was the best xover. for stock cams the vtrec would be where it should be. in general a change in compression, cam profile, valve angle etc would constitute a change in optimum vtec point.
