1. there is no such thing as "fule"
2. there is no such thing as "v-tech"
do you have a missing link or check valves? and does the check engine light come on?

You dont know what VTECH is?!?! duh its Very Tedious Evolved Computer Hookers, See they ***** around your ECU, and boom, the little guys inside your ecu(ya know the little guys who tell the car what to do while you just mash the gas) get distracted by these *****, and forget to do their jobs, and next thing you know, parts start to break.

What do you have for your fuel system? Injectors, FMU, FPR, S-VAFC, fuel pump, etc.? And how much boost are you running?
When VTEC engages, it dumps more fuel into the system. Try leaning it out a little bit. Do you hear any popping noise, like backfire from your exhaust? That's a sign of running rich. Is your CEL on? Did you dyno your car yet?

hmmm... perhaps you need to advance the timing on your vtech phone a little more... this will allow it to ring sooner so you can pick up calls before they happen

Re: lose power when v-tech kicks in (Cramerox)
You need to overclock your ECU. Your ECU should have a phone jack installed on the side. Get your vtech phone and plug it in. This will act just like the controller of the PowerFC. Enter 6392 [NEWB] to allow overclocking.

Re: lose power when v-tech kicks in (CovertFI)
It's funny because i did the same thing, running VAFC hack and i had the crossover point for VTEC at 4800, I had major spiking issues, only to find out AFTER i sold my turbo that all the spiking began at VTEC. I was running way to rich....I'm pretty sure you're dumping too much fuel into your system...good luck, if using a VAFC, try disabling VTEC and see how it runs....if it runs okay then it's too much fuel.
