Wednesday I took my car for pressure wash as I had driven it in rain on Monday evening, the funny part was as soon as I went to the service center the owner call his son and was showing the car, his son was a Yo! Yo! Kind was giving me some inputs for further modding, but I was dam sleepy as I am in grave shift. When you get the engine pressure washed cover the air filter, if you know the service center guy well take the pipe and you take the charge of washing the engine area, but don’t forget to use the blower after you wash. Also be care full near the head light console, few guys will fill the water in there  Last edited by vinayvtec : 18th July 2008 at 10:31. | |

1. which are the 4-1 headers you talk about? are they in the pic? 2. I am guessing the long shiny silver pipe is part of the "HKS Intake filter with custom piping" | |

| BHPian  | low rpm jerks Quote:
I had a Vtec test drive and visit recently. 2001 OHC Vtec, 68k km done, II owner, bangalore reg, was for sale. This is the first time I had ever interacted with the so called vtec - one of the best driver's car ever made and driven - While I test drove, I manged to find at the very first instant the low rpm jerks with pre-2002 vtec models. It was a cold start, as I was pretty sure since it was morning about 9 am, before the car ahs gone for any ride. This had made me think a lots if to go for the pre-02 vtec ones at any price. Felt it too hard to manage slow speed at higher gears, if you want to drive in 1000 RPM range you should always be in 1st gear. In second gear it always jerks, its just gives the feeling that you may have added adulterated fuel kind of. Never have driven OHC vtecs, so was so much troubled getting it right, eventhough have never felt this any of the other OHC's (1.3 or 1.5), so I was thinking what has gone wrong. Otherwise the engine is stock as well are the tyres and pretty much the vehicle. Then he told me the jerks associated with those vtecs (pre 2002 oct models) and maybe a change in ECU (costs a bomb) or change to iridium spark plugs should rectify this problem. I am really concerned about this, since now with my zen I just manage to drive in 2nd and 3rd gears as low as 10- 20 kmph speedo. I do lots city driving, then in that case, I cant consider it and will have to keep the zen for sure. Otherwise I ride a NHC 08 model, I have felt very much the less power associated with it. But absolute butter smooth engine. Can I expect the same butter smooth engine with added and enormous power at my disposal with this vtec. Guys should I go for this, and take the vtec plunge. Is this low RPM jerks a issue to ponder over. Will it later turn out to b a nemesis and burn a hole in the pocket. Seeking all expert advice. rgrds prsn | |

| Senior - BHPian  | Could not make out from your post what you needed advice with. All OHC VTECs made before 2002 have this quirk. Checking if a new 2002+ ECU will fix it should be a simple job; don't know if anyone has done this already and found out the answer. And nobody buys an OHC VTEC to drive at ~1000 rpm |
