bad for engine?

[infusionz]

i recently just got a type s, and wondering if always kicking it to vtec say hitting it up to 7800 revs on and off for 10- 15 mins a day or once every 2 - 3 days bad for the engine?...should i just take it easy say always shifting at 3000rpm.

you comments will be most helpful

thanks in advance

lol!! man needles to say, reguardless to what the car is, vtec or not, turbo or not.. thrashing it is not good for it..

be good to you car, it will be good to you..

thrash it ?? its gona thrash your wallet !!!!!!!

thrash it as much as you want. The engine is made for it, only thing is that you going to waste more petrol. Make sure you warm it up as well before vtecing

lmao you dont seriously believe that do you ???

bro... as long as you have oil changed 5000km vtecing ever now and then is no problem. The car is built for that purpose, to rev past 5800 to 8000 anyday.

You drive a dc2, so maybe thats why you're a bit skeptical but the K20 is fine.

Anyone who tells you using VTEC is bad for a Honda is a common fool. That's like saying boost for a turbocharged engine is bad.

like typeSexy said, thats what the engine is built for...
if you're not gonna hit vtec much might aswell just gotten a luxury DC5

anything below redline is fine once the engine is warm that is the cars were designed with track in mind and vtec is there for a reason....these motors are made to be thrashed..not thrashing a car can be bad as well....build up carbon quiker

VTEC on = thrashing the engine?

WTF?

[spyda00]

on my old dc2 itr i use to give it a belting and it had over 170,000 when i got rid of it (bought with 75k on the clock). never had an issue. only thing i can recommend is changing the gear box oil when you do your oil for the small cost it really looks after the car. but thats just my 2 cents

dont know if its accurate but we shouldnt vtec in first gear excessively?

It doesn't matter what gear you are in. VTEC has the same operation whatever gear you are using.

Does anyone know if Honda marine outboard engines have any sort of V-tech system?

no, from honda site

Weighing 110kg, the newly-designed, water-cooled, 998cm3 three-cylinder engine incorporates electronic
fuel injection, Honda’s revolutionary Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) air/fuel ratio and ignition-timing
technology, and lean burn control to deliver powerful start-up and acceleration together with outstanding fuel
economy during cruising (ECOmo). A high-performance gear case further contributes to the BF60’s impressive
acceleration and top-end speed.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, BLAST! sounds sexy. Cheers for that!
