I agree with this...principally the L-series motors are made to be fuel-sippers, even more than the old D-series were. The VTEC that goes into the L15As is just a bonus.

Funny stuff Kenchan
I guess it will def. be more noticeable with the intake. It's too bad they didn't make the Fit motor DOHC. I would took 5 MPG less for the extra ponies. I was just reading that with the SOHC setup, only the intake is affected. So, more air in, yes, but not as efficient on the way out.

instead of say a rabbit or a mazda 3s or a cooper s?

I can't feel it nor hear the vtec transition. The fit just accelerates constantly until RPM is close to redline and doesn't jerk unless I switch gears. If there is an acceleration surge, it's probably too small for me to feel it... But really, what can you expect from a 109 HP car?
I let someone drive my car once and he said, "the engine feels smooth."

Wow, you don't even know me and your bashing, okay. Uh lets see, the standard VTEC setup on the H22 produced most of it's torque at the VTEC engagement point. It's not just a sound, it where a nice chunk of power comes from. How will I be getting smoked if I'm not racing anyone?? Confused by your whole post.
and the Fit doesn't come with an H22 or the standard VTEC setup from an H22... so what does that have to do with anything in this thread?
The point is the Fit's VTEC is for economy, you can't feel or hear a difference. Personally I would be pissed if my car got loud and still wouldn't get out of its own way.

Well the NEW Fit VTEC crossover is SEX with an intake installed. you hear 2 stages!! not the valve opening but there is a 1st vtec that's a little noticable around 5k+ rpm then right before redline that 2nd Vtec engages engine screams!! almost as good as a K20.. haha but not quite
also, it does pull harder! the older fits taper off power and the new fit seems like it wants to rev higher!

i think my ITR had the best crossover ever.. Id set it @ 6200 and it was only used when i was really in it. but it would come in at 100 hp and sounded like sex with twins! really hot twins like jessica alba twins!

Your car gets what?? Wow I guess I am lucky if my Fit gets 90! And no v-tec cross over. Ordered a K&N performance intake since my SSI bit the dust.
That's what seperates the newBs from the true engine enthusiasts. You want to hear sounds. I want to feel power and torque.
The fit is a gas saver. Plain and simple. It will never be confused with speed or power. So you can listen and hear that vtec crossover all you want...you'll be getting smoked either way.

2,400 v-tec engages, wtf?
so recetnly i installed a v-tec signal (v-tec light mod) and the light turns on at 2,400 o.O i tried it in drive, sport, sport with no paddles, all different throttle positions. they all still turn on at and after 2,400 and turns off below 2,400. i know v-tec is suppose to engage at 2,800 - 3,400, but 2,400? i thought it was a fit?
