ok first of all a z2 are you serious? a z2 car has never been available here. please what year car do you have and what trim model b/c then i will be able to tell you more about YOUR car. the only available engines in your car would be the a2, a3, z1. and whoever said it was a z3 come on.

meh, didnt relize that was the same kid, by the time i got all the way down i was in a comotose state by all the wrong info in this thread.

okay so you have the k20z1 which is an upgraded a2 with differnt cams and intake manifold, i believe now i could be wrong and please correct me but it should engage at 5800.

now this info is for the a2 which like i said is basically the same but with dioferent cams and intake

"The K20A2 head uses three cams per pair of inlet valves on both the exhaust and inlet. The low lift cams on this head are probably very similar to the high lift cams on the K20A3. The high lift cams engage at 5800 rpm and disengage at 5600 rpm." hondata.com

I have a 2003 base RSX. Mine kicks in at 5,000 rpms, and i can hear it. i have aftermarket exhaust though, and it's an auto trans. not sure if that matters
