i just swapped in a b16a into my 92 cx hb. i'm running a LS transmission have i/h/e and i don't have the b16 ecu so i'm running a LS ecu and a v-afc. well any ways i started it up and i get a CEL. but i decided to race it anyways. i call my fren over and he has a 90 integra LS i/h/e and crower stage 2 cams, nothing wild. well we race over and over and come 3rd gear he just floats by me like nothing. i lowered my vtec and the best i did was pull in 1st and 2nd but come 3rd i get murdered again. is it cause of my trans? or my ecu? wats goin on?! i have a turbo setup for this motor but i might not even bother to put it, i'm frustrated.

 

so..your turbo isnt in yet right? and you have a 92 cx and a b16a with a tranny with very long gears....and youre wondering why you getting creamed??

go to the hybrid forum and figure it out..

 

would you recommend throwing on the turbo?

 

I would recommend you throw on a b16 trans

 

it sounds like when you sent to the LS ecu you didnt wire up something to activate the vtec. You are probably throwing a code 22 if i remember correctly. If you did wire it in well then your tuning is just way off.

 

yea man , chuck that ls tranny and put in the b16 or some kind of tranny from a vtec motor. you need the shorter gearing .

 

Do LS Ecu's even have the ability to activate Vtec... LS engines are Non-Vtec..

 

Wait. You have a B16a. Plus an LS ECU?

Am I missing something here? What are you using to activate the VTEC?...the VAFC? (didn't know you could do that?)

BTW, find out what the CEL is and we can help you diagnose the problem.

 

the problem is the ls computer with a freaking 6800 rev limiter, no vtec fueling or timing and you using the vafc to activate vtec, that is the main problem. the other is the long geared trans.

 

this has to be a joke
