hey i need some help here guys.. i own a 94 gsr with 160000 miles on it, and i have intake header exhaust, cam gears (timing set in Advance) msd, and pulley kit. my VTEC stopped pullin hard like it use to .. it still pulls a lil bit but it use to pull much stronger.. i have heard i need to:

1. clean vtec solenoid
2. replace solenoid
3. readjust the valves
4. valves wearing down and need to be replaced.
5. all or some of the above...
- i dun noe much about the motor of cars, im a body man, (i shaved the mouldings, and emblems, n looks better, added lip kit(wing west side skirts and back lip, with JDM mugen lip, and 25% tint all around)
but anyways..... some help about the vtec not pullin anymore would be very appreciated, doesn't seem to open as loud either....

 

hows the oil level ? last time the car has had a tune up ?

 

i changed the oil about 1500 miles ago.. i haved tuned it yet... ive only had the car for about 150000 miles.. so i dun noe the last time i got it got a tune up.. by tune up what do u mean exactly because it has a wide variety of meaning...

 

A tune up would consist of changing the plugs, cap, rotor, wires, flush the radiator, change the timing belt, water pump, o2 sensor, fuel filter blah blah blah. If you haven't done any of that in the 150000 miles you've owned the car then its probably about time. I'm guessing(or hoping) you meant 15000 miles.

 

yeah i meant 15000 thats was just an typeO, yeah. well actually i kinda of did that then, i replaced the distrubitor cap, distrubitor coil, spark plugs, igintion wires, i added new radiator like just a few months ago, i always change oil every 3000 miles, and i do check all the fluids.... so any more ideas on the Vtec... any advice would be appreciated

 

Try doing a valve adjustment. The VTEC solenoid will not affect the performance, it merely just controls the activation of VTEC.

 

check the timing, cams could be off a tooth or two

 

the timing is 2 degree off.. it was changed with the adjustable cam gears... but the vtec use to work with the advancement in timing.... any more ideas?

 

After awhile of driving my ITR swapped hatch i thought it was the slowest car ever, my body and mind got used to the vtec transition and pull. it could either be mental, or you could need some minor maitence, dont forget, you are driving a high mileage motor that was prolly romped on for most of its life, motors do get tired.

 

check oil

 

Where have I heard that phrase before? Oh yea.. Fast and Furious the most rice stricken movie ever

 

oil is fine. i have changed it and still it has the same effects.. no im shure that im not mentally use to the vtec, because i when i race an ls, i stuggle to beat it, when i use to beat able to take type r's

 

BUA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA "i used to be able to take type R's" i think i just stepped in the biggest pile of bullshit on here

b18c5=most over rated motor around only thing good about the whole motor is the trans

also if intersted i have motors for sale and or trade

 

I agree - there's nothing surprising about an LS beating up on an ITR - overrated -

ITR = Over Rated. . . Flame me as well
