99 SI vtec loud but doesn't pull.
My friend has a 99 Civic SI with a fresh JDM B16A swap. The VTEC crossover is very loud but the car seems like it does not pull any harder. Maybe even a little weaker through vtec. Anyone have any ideas? We even tried a different P28 and tried different basemaps but nothing seemed to help.

Re: 99 SI vtec loud but doesn't pull.
You've tried different basemaps?
hmm...
what RPM do you have VTEC set to engage at?
You just answered your own question (well, not directly a question, but it felt implied). Fix whatever the CEL reveals. It's quite obvious.

Sounds like a typical b16.
VTEC sounds like an atom bomb but still only has what 114 ft lbs of torque or something close to that.
