i just recently bought a 96 accord with a h-22 v-tec swap, it has a msd sport compact box, blaster 3 coil, aem long cold air intake, under drive pulleys, and dc header with full length 2.5 inch exhaust with resinator. T the problem i'm heving is that when i'm accelarating @ about 4k-4.5k it bogs or cuts out then comes back pretty strong.i was thinking that maybe the v-tec was supposed to kick in @ 4500 rpm maybe?? i'm not sure. I do know that i looked at the computer it has a tag tapped to it that says its out of a 94 accord. Any help would be appreciated.

 

check your engine oil. refill it if you're low.

 

checked oil its full,

 

Did you check your ignition timing? Is it within spec?

 

not sure what the specs are. what kind of performance should i expect outta this setup it just doesn't seem very powerlul. or maybe its just me i dont know.

surely you swapped the h22 ecu when you did the swap, if all else fails, go get it tuned

 

Do u have any check engine lights??

 

and the pins u have to swap???

 

well like i said at first i bought the car like this and it has a tag on the computer that says its out of a 94 accord now i dont know to much about accords did they put h-22's in jdm accords?

 

ok so what are u saying is u are using a 94 accord vtec computer running the h22 motor that is not goin to work if u are doin that u need the p13 or the p28 and u will have to have the ecu chipped (p28). The motor that u have was it an automatic motor and u convert it over to manual. Or was it just a manual motor.

 

im not sure about if it was a automatic or manual. my computer is a poa ecu which came out of a 94-95 accord ex. i figured out that the v-tec is kickin on @2500 rpm so i unpluged the v-tec it revs smooth all the way thru i dont know what would cause it to kick on that soon but i know its not supposed to come on that early. oh yeah doesn't a p28 come in the civic ex sohc. that computer will run a h-22 i just figured i needed a ecu out of a prelude with a h-22
