i have a 92 civic hatch with a b20 vtec in it. i just recent got the car. now my questions.

Why does the car pop a check engine light when it passes 7500rpm?

the ecu is a p28 chipped for dual vtec.

my cars set up

B20 block
98 gsr head
ITR cam
AEM cam gears
jasma headers
blox intake manifold
ice man intake
straight pipe
apexi exhaust
vtec controller
94 ls tranny

What else do i need to make it faster??? any free mods...

I am going to be racing this car in 2 weeks against a 93 civic hatch with type R swap. unknown mods... money is on the line...


any help would be great

thanks in advance

 

Do you think i already got this if i put in the 98 gsr tranny?

 

could be the vtec setting on it or a shift lifhgt someone wired it up to some people will wire there car so that the engine light will pop on vtec or a shift light

 

Try to see what code is it throwing.And by the way,i'm interested to make my b16 runs with a b20b block,is that what you've done with your engine?

 

go with a differnt tranny for acceleration ls trannys are one of the longest ones good setup tho

 

1. get a b16 or gsr tranny

2. you only have ONE header

3. you don't have dual vtec...there isn't such a thing.

There is but not for his application and its not even a real 2nd vtec its some econ thing. Comes with the VX engines i believe.

Either way you more then likely have a shift light put on the ecu in the form of a check engine light if it goes away when the rpms drop from 7500.

 

it is pretty obvious he means its chipped for a dohc. there is no need to try and make him look stupid. and for the check engine light it is a shift light that can b set with w\e program u r running.

 

Its reading code 7 TPS - throttle position sensor . which one is that sensor, Is it the one on top or the one on the back.

 

it should be the top one, its whatever one is NOT opposite the throttle cable
