well i have a da with a b17a1 and i wanted to see if anyone knows what may cause my vtec not to pop as hard as it should meaning when the vtec pops it should push you back in the seat and when mine pops i can hardly feel it at all you can definetly hear it from a mile away but just cant feel it anyone know what may cause this to happen???
i checked my silinoid and cleaned my oil psi is on idle at 23-30psi and at high rpm at 54-60psi what else could it be??? cams maybe???

 

vtec will not push you into your seat. lol

 

Vtec doesn't throw you back in your seat in any car, especially one with a b16 oops i mean b17. If you want to get thrown into your seat then build a nice turbo setup.

 

lol, x2, vtec doesn't throw you back in your seat

 

alright thanks

 

Here is some more help out

WTH are you talking about? Vtec pop on? If the car used to have more power than it does now and you could still hear vtec engaging then it could be a bad catalytic converter. Need more info to help though. If you just got the car maybe you are getting used to it and it doesn't feel like it pulls as hard anymore.

 

The point in vtec is to keep a liner power curve instead of having big dips in it.(2 cams one for low revs one for high)

If you want to feel it buy a vtec controller and throw the vtec point 1-2K higher then its stock point. That way there will be a big dip in your power before vtec engages which will make it feel faster but it will infact be slower.
