Ok.. so i have a F22 in my accord.. and i've been told that its not a v-tec... but once i hit 5 grand.. it seems like it is a v-tec...

so is it possible that a F22 is a v-tec..especially being a SOHC?

 

Hi Blaster...what is the 8th diget in your VIN # in your drivers window?

Hey,

So the 8th Vin is a A...


and i didnt know the made F22b a SOHC v-tec.... the Vin on my engine.... is F22B2... if that makes any difference

 

VTEC in Accords was notput in themfor performance, it wasput in themfor better gas mileage. You cannot feel it kick in at 5k becauseit doesn't kick in at 5k. It kicks in anywhere from 2200+ RPM depending on engine load, but almost always before 5k. if you have VTEC, the engine will say it in huge letters on the valve cover.

 

yeah u dont have vtec cuz i have the same exact engine in my car and its not.... but ur right i too notice a kick when it reaches around that area and from what i believe thats where a boost in the power curve is so thats why it prolly feels like a vtec boost or something... hope it helps

 

Anyone can change a valve cover... but yea i do feel a kick in at like 5.. so i really dont.. Buntinboy... yea.. so i aint the only one.. but i have people telling me that it is a v-tec. all my honda friends out here believe its a v-tec.. im doing some research and ill let anyone know.

 

F22 has a Vtec and NonVtec version. and its not Vtec because it never kicks in at 5K.

 

ok.. thanks for the help i found out its not a v-tec. the f22b1 are tho..


thanks

 

F22b1= v-tec. And mine kicks in at 5200 rpms. No other time. On 87 octane, I can hear it, on 92 octane, I can actually feel it.
