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.

 

anybody got any opinions on this?

 

the gearing in your LS tranny isn't meant for that motor. you need shorter gears. also, get a proper ECU. an LS ECU and VAFC is not a replacement for the proper ECU.

 

what code you have? if you have a code like 3 or 5 or 1 that puts you into limp home mode then of course you car will be slow.....find out whats wrong, fix it, then race your car.
