You should be able to hear vtec fairly easy on a b-series. If you have a CEL then vtec wont work. Try changing the pressure switch since thats what the code is for.

what do you have done to the motor to think you should see more power that far up?

as far as i know the power curve should be right about 7000 rpm anyway...

not always true it depends on what code.

I had the same problem, but mine was because my motor was a Jdm Itr motor witch doesnt even have a vtec pressure valve, but the Usdm ecu was looking for it therefore throwing a code. I had to wire up the vtec pressure valve wire from the ecu into the vtec solinoid wire so vtec wouldnt cut out..

does vtec even engage in your gsr swap, and is it a JDM model or what.

its usdm but i can feel it somtimes its not always kicking

Mine would work as well until it got the code, (usually hard pulls through 3rd or 4th) then it would disengage.

scroll up brother ^

efking1985

Panda Eg6

This was what I was talking about. But your problem may be different

efking1985
