Vtec Question
okay i ahve a b16a2 block with a B16a head and everything works great except one thing my Vtec is soooo weird? my friend has the same setup and his vtec screams like all B16's do, But mine it barely changes tones and doesnt scream it basically sucks ***** sounds like oil pressure building up and v tec is little no screaming or anything? when i put a silencer on my car cuz i have exhaust i cant even hear **** like theres no vtec existing sounds just like an LS? What can this be you guys help me out? i think it could be my vtec solenoid is out or something LMK you guys Thanks for reading my ******* long *** paragraph?

Try swapping selonoids with your friend, then see if he has no VTEC and you do have VTEC.
Or at least try to get it to throw a CEL, CEL's are good b/c they'll tell you what's wrong (sometimes).

sell your car, lol
Try switching ecu's with your friends and then see the difference with your vtec maybe your ecu is retarded, or maybe you can get your friends ecu to through a cel

Re: Vtec Question (93(Civic)EG6)
Do you and your friend have the same exhaust? As far as why yours might be quieter that could be it...you should still be able to feel it but just a thought...

Re: (B!^A@)
another way you can tell if your vtec solenoid is not working, is when your not able rev all the way up 8k. Your motor is trying to rev up there but starts bogging at around 6500rpm

Theres a screen in your vtec solenoid. Sometimes it becomes clogged and prevents vtec from engaging correctly. Take off your vtec solenoid and you will see it.

Re: (solerizr)
does vtec engage even in neutral? i've revved my car up to 7½ in neutral and never noticed. when i'm in 3rd it's pretty apparent when i hit 5500.
