I have a 95 EG hatch with a b16a2 swap. Had a turbo on it and it blow the bottom end. Ordered a new bottom end from a website, the guy said it was a b16a2 , everything fits and runs except rear motor mount is about 1 inch off.Double checked vtec wiring and manual powered up vtec sloneid and it works, also tryed another computer and it does not work. Now with everything on and running turbo too, everything works except the vtec. if someone could help maybe i got a b16a1 , and why doesnt the vtec work?? HELP

 

car warmed up enough? You are moving right? Plenty of oil pressure?

 

check your vtec solenoid gasket

 

car is warmed up and i have plenty of oil pressure, dont you think it could be the bottom end

Why would the bottom end have anything to do with the head? Are you throwing any codes? Are you hitting a rev limiter or anything of the sort? How long has this been a problem?

 

if you're unsure about what block its clearly stamped on the block if its b16 a1 2 or 3

does your speedometer work? If the speed sensor isnt working for whatever reason vtec wont crack

 

check grounds as well

 

no, even if you don't have a vtec bottom end, it has entirely nothing to do with it. If you couldn't use a B18a or b, then half of the guys in HT wouldn't be here.
