I installed a set of these Skunk2 Stage 2 cams in a H22a. I have the skunk manifold, retainers, valves, full exhaust etc..... stock block.
After the install I notices that I cant rev over 5500rpm's in 4th and 5th gear. Feels like some sort of governor. Theres also no Vtec in those gears.
I brought it back to have the problem checked and they told me that it was the cams, and they are meant for 1/2 mile drag from a stop and arent meant to make power so high on high gears. I think he is full of ****, someone please let me know if I am right or wrong. Right now I am pretty pissed off. Thanks

 

yes, he is full of ****. check your engine timing.

wow, I wouldn't go back to that shop

 

Thanks Guys, I need raise hell in there.

 

how much whp are u gettin out of dat setup?.....bcuz i have a similar build going on but not yet finished....

 

vtec should work in all gears. something is not working right.

are you sure vtec is working in the lower gears. do you have adjustable cam gears. are you sure everything is timed correctly.

 

I just called skunk yesterday and they pretty much told me that i am getting bullshitted also. The cam lobes are always there. There is Vtec crossover in every gear and the cams never know what gear they are in. There are 5 main reasons why vtec wont work. 1)oil pressure 2) throttle 3) Knock 4)car must be driving over 25 mph 5) collant temp.

I do have adjustable cams gears, and timing should be correct. Only 1 way to tell now and that is through a tune.

I havent dyno'd the car yet because I was waiting for it to run properly. I will hopefully know my numbers very soon. I will aslo be using a 50-possible 75 shot so whenever the numbers are avail., I will post the sheet.

To make things worse, they cracked and ruined the paint on my side skirts and had the nerve to tell me that I drove it in like that.

I will try to keep updates regularly
