Default My first swap - GSR in EG

Just finished her up tonight. Had some problems though. Threw code 22 first (VTEC oil pressure) but fixed it. Then no codes... but it started getting a clicking noise from the IM/head area (still don't know what it is). Made it idle funny but doesn't make the noise when under any amount of throttle. Then it threw code 21 (VTEC solenoid)... but it engages VTEC.

Pulls pretty good so far. Has AEM short ram, Action 6-puck sprung clutch, and the stock 1" exhaust piping. The exhaust piping makes the motor die down horribly on the high end in first gear. Hopefully get something once I get some money. Tranny is smooth as butter too. And the clutch grabs hard as hell.

We'll see about getting this code 21 off though.

We're gonna check the valve adjustments... But first were gonna swap the VTEC solenoid. It's like it's something clicking on and off randomly.

Just finished the same swap in my ej8, try changeing out your vtec pressure switch or cleaning the screen on the vtec solenoid.
