What does VTEC do to a Honda car?
Does VTEC really do anything? Yes and no; it depends on how you drive. Honda cars equipped with VTEC technology tend to be more efficient across a wider rpm range than many comparable vehicles, and they’re a lot of fun to drive in the right conditions, but most motorists won’t notice their VTEC kicking in.
What makes the VTEC kick in engine sound?
As engine speeds rise, a piston inside the rockers is pressurized with oil, locking all three cams together to increase valve lift. This is where that signature “VTEC kicking in” sound comes from.
What causes the VTEC to not engage properly?
The most common reason behind Vtec not engaging is from a lack of oil pressure to the synchro piston in the rocker arms, this can be cause by the rubber oil ring on the cylinder head that I point out in this video.The engine in the video was an Acura B18C1 GSR.Also not mentioned in…

Which is better a VTEC engine or a regular engine?
However, there are legitimate reasons for it. Hondas with VTEC engines are much more efficient across a wider RPM range than most other vehicles, and arguably are much more fun to drive for those of us who value pick up and go. But for a large majority of us, you’ll likely not “ride VTEC” in everyday driving.
What does it mean if your VTEC is not working?
