ok i have a stock 2000 integra gsr with an intake on it....awhile ago the vtec was commin in at the right time and now its comming in at 6k!....does enyone no what the problem could be or what i might need to get to fix it...

 

thats not your vtec engagement at 6k rpms. A stock Gs R vtec engages at 4400 rpms what your hearing is the IAB opening up at 5750 rpms (AKA secondaries) if your not hearing the secondaries the first thing you should do is check your OIL level if its too low then vtec won't engage. if its just your secondaries then check vacume lines..i had a leak on mine a while back and it wasnt opening either.

 

i have the same problem, i have a vtec controller and i set it @ 5000rpm i dont feel the hard pull from the vtec untill secondaries hit. i check the oil level its at the second hole on the dip stick and i dont see any leaks from any vacum lines. what should be the problem?

in a gsr you won't really feel vtec, secondaries is what pulls in a gsr

 

before i could hear it come in at 5k or w/e and now if not that then somthin else is commin in at 6k instead....so what do i need to do exactly?...(thanks so much for the help guys)

 

and my oil is fine..

 

yeah its just you can't hear some things when u have some things on like me for example

got exhaust with cold air could not hear secondaires but vtec howls and then i swap back to short ram for winter and now i can't hear vtec but secondaries scream

 

NOOBVILLE...

your vtec is still "working" chill out....like everyone else said..

 

it just started to happen..with or without the intake on there its the same it started before i put the intake on there i think

I thought vtec is not kick in until 4700-4800 RPM ?

I don't know what might be a problem, but you can check your vtec solenoid to see if it work. I would check the Oil level first lol. I'm sure this has been coverd many many times.

Anyways, here is how you do it.
Engine off, Disconnect the Vtec solenoid plug, find a wire and jump it to the POSITIVE TERMINAL lead of the battery. You should hear a sticking sound, if not your vtec solenoid is bad.
********Remember to reset the ecu or it'll throw a code************
