jdm d15 vtec question
ok i had some problems with my vtec. so i hard wired a switch with led light to interior, hooked it up, with one wire to batt, one to ground and one to green/yellow vtec wire. drove the car until temp was norm. hit 4800 rpm and the light on the switch comes on. so vtec is getting power, but i can't hear anything spectacular (i know on a sohc it isn't much, but u should hear the difference). now my question could the solenoid be bad? if so, is there a differnece in the d16 one? by the way i have a 3 inch piping intake, airmass headers, highflow cat, custom 2.25 madrel piping to a dnx muffler, msd cap and external coil, apc wires, ngk iridiums, b&m fpr set at 40-41 psi, and a jdm ecu. and if anyone has a video to let me know what to listen for i would appreciate it.

Re: jdm d15 vtec question (jagolas)
my friend has the same motor and i don't hear is vtec at all. if your not getting any codes, your vtec is more than likely working.
i don't think your going to hear vtec like you do on the dohc motors. i have a gsr motor and sometimes i don't even hear when vtec kicks in. as long as you feel it, then you shouldn't worry about anything. |
I've never really been able to hear an audible difference at the VTEC engagement point on a single cam engine, except for ones that were modified well beyond the standard bolt-ons. If the solenoid was bad, then VTEC wouldn't engage at all. Disconnect the solenoid or put in a P06 ECU and see if there is any notable difference in performance if you want to be sure.

thanks, it's hard to tell if i can feel it, i notice that the rpms jump alot faster but i don't get eased back into the seat. on my wifes protege with a dohc when u stomp the gas u get eased back into the seat and i know i have 10+ hp on her car. it just seems weird
