That member sells high performance VTEC solenoids. It has the biggest punch ever. There was a recent article through Road & Track and Motortrend magazine, they gave it high ratings as well.

not yet.... i was looking towards a nice p30/p73 obd1 ecu for my set up. and as far as the pr3 intake manifold goes..... it got it very cheap and it was ported i meant.not bored im sorry(i was thinking about getting my block bored maybe 25 over n sleeved ..sorry). it was ported to 68mm.. i think would go sweet with a nice 68-70mm throttle body and 3inch cold air intake ? n e opinions?????????

Contact RTW DC2R right away. He has limited quantities of the Version 3 Ported and Polished VTECK Solenoids left, I purchased 2 a few months ago... Before the solenoids, I put down 182whp and 117ftlbs. After I installed the first solenoid, I put down 197whp and 103ftlbs (Yes, the solenoid kind of kills torque, but dude, V-TEC hits hard as ****). That got weak after a while, so I installed the second solenoid (All you have to do is tap into the oil sending unit and reroute it back into the intake throw-out bearing, simple), and went back to the dyno for VMU and check valve tuning, and put down a whopping 209whp and 81ftlbs! Anything below 5,800RPM feels like a D16, but man, when VTACK pops, it pops you back in the seat like, WOAAAAH, I get tunnel vision still. I pop VTECH like pills son, chyeah chyeah, trill trill, son.

The VTEC pop makes up for the difference. It shows on the dyno but you hardly feel it all.

Thanks Migs.

That's exactly what I was going to say. I break traction in 3rd gear when I pop V-TECH.

Mention both neo_ and GO-FIGHT-KILL sent you, and he'll double hook it up, like those double filled Oreos, twice as good.
