Default issues at vtec

so my car runs just fine untill 5400 rpm's (vtec) then it sputters and cuts in and out. on the dyno it was flawless and made 755@32 psi. it doesnt matter if im on it or slwoly rolling, but as soon as vtec hits it has issues.

what do you guys think solonoid<<<<<<spelling lol

if only WOT pulls were made then the rest of vtec might not be tuned properly

What are they AF looking like at that boost level? Have you pulled the plugs and inspected them? Need to find out if it's detonation or blow out? What fuel are you running? Give a complete breakdown of the setup so others. An help better diagnose

As Chris mentioned, that could be new...

I would pull the oil pan & oil pump apart etc...

yea, if the metal was there all along you would've had vtec issues from the start.

oil pan was off yesterday no issues.

it is metal as well, but from when i spun a bearing a few months ago i didnt have the head flushed out

my tuner said it is the metal that was left in the head from not being flushed.

at WOT it isnt as prominant as it is at lower rpms

i do enjoy the feedback though
