Default Dip in power right before VTEC hits after installing BlOX mani.

Okay so i finished installing, my BLOX manifold a while back...but i noticed that right before VTEC hits it kinda losses alot of its power kinda like it lags for a second then bam VTEC hits and its all good from there.......

BUT

Any ideas as too why this would happen? And yes its really noticable.

By the way...the im running a GSR w/Mugen P28 which has the vtec kick in a lil higher than normal...So ditch the "just make your vtec higher y0!" comment.

I want some answers damnit!

most likely you will need to pull the vtec down some, but you need a dyno to see where.

What you are describing is pretty common after installing most of the bolt ons.

No proof?!! No proof?!!

Trust me there is a definitive LAG right before it goes on the vtec lobe... Its not like "oh yeah i can kinda feel it...its like oh whats wrong with jour vtec y0?"

I think ill just leave her like how she is...and wont tune her until i get my exhaust and buddy club cams.....then ill probably just do a VAFC tune..

dynojet tune &gt; *** dyno tune

yea you'll probably want to get some cams, cam gears, adjustable fpr, gauge, then tune. the stock non-vtec cam is probably maxed out and the vtec kick is probably harder with the new i/m.
