Another Small Pull
Now after we have gone threw the car, replaced the intake with a actull Filter, and flushed all the fluids... Trany, Motor, and Rad. The car seemed to run a bit smother, tho we can't pin point a problem, but listen to the motor as I do a Quick 1/4, as the motor climes in RPMS seems like VTEC kicks in but hardly any kick at all, mite be its a D15B but my D16Z6 seemd to have more with the same P28 brain

VTEC shouldn't be a *kick* like people want it to be. There should be a smooth transition both leading up to the dynamic VTEC point, and away from the VTEC point.
The only way I can tell VTEC has kicked in on the Fit is by engine noise, throttle response, and fuel consumption.  The ramp up is smooth, and after it "kicks in" it's smooth. It just feels like I'm in the center of the power band. |

I think the "vtec kick" is a myth created and perpetuated in the minds of people that wish their hondas were as fast as they think they are.

SOHC on this!!

My A6/Z6 is pretty much like that but a bit better because of, (I think), the higher compression and my Y8 intake manifold. I love the throttle response with the Y8 manifold.
