Lemme ask u something here chief. U drive a Civic Si. When does urs kickin? lemme answer for you. It kicks in right when all these othewr misinformed people think it does. Around 4500+ RPMS. Which is true. Now ur Si DOHC Vtec is performance tuned. Which is why the need for the high RPM Vtec Activation. And then thewre are those with the SOHC VTEC-E. Who think they own a racecar but fail to realize they own a economy car. Are yas listening?? The D17 IS NOT A RACEMOTOR!!! IT'S A ECONOMY MOTOR!! AS IN NOT MEANT TO BE FAST. Hence the reason for an early vtec activation.

you say that the D17 is an economy motor then why would its vtec kick in at 2500 RPM...vtec would surely DECREASE the engine's fuel economy...the whole point behind vtec is to gain more power, and if you want more power u need to burn more fuel...and if you need more fuel then there's less miles per gallon...this in turn would make the D17 a gas drinkin' machine, not an economy motor...
this message is directed to the person that installed binner's vtec light...not to binner himself
