well i converted one of the crx's we have to an ls vtec set up, and i have done a few of them in the past but this is the first one that has given me problems.

B18a bottom end
B16 head
vafc
still OBD 0

i tried running the line to the backl of the head.............no vtec
i tried removing the pressure switch and running it there............no vtec

the vafc shows output to the solinoid, and i hear it click but its like no oil wants to go past it, i changed pressure switches twice and now am boggled...........


could the machine shop have fucked up anything in my head when they had it????

i cannot think of anything else that could be wrong, is there any other variables i have not covered???????

 

Check oil pressure. If you don't have enough pressure, the solenoid can click all it wants but nothing's going to work.

 

what should it be if it has a vtec oil pump, my gsr maxes out at like 75psi at around 4,000rpms

 

Are you sure you plugged up the oil passage on the bottom of the head?

 

Its a long shot, but check if you installed the center cam cap oring...

 

i did plug the correct hole on the head, thats a no brainer, but i will check the cam cap O ring, since we of course did have them off

thanks john
