in my z6 ef, i can not hear vtec cross over at all! i mean i've been in a few of my friends cars with z6 swaps and you can hear it cross over, but mine doesn't at all. well tomorrow morning im getting a newer solenoid and putting it in and see what happens. anyone else know why its not crossing over?

 

it doesn't matter if you could hear it crossover ( i think ) it matters if you feel a set of G's pulling you back after vtec kicks in. before i had stock i/h/e and i could hear the cross over but after i got a intake, greddy header, 2 1/4 piping and a trust muffler, i couldn't hear the vtec crossover that well as before.

Double Ugh.

1 - You won't hear it, its a SOHC so that means VTEC is only active on 8 valves. It's not that K20 folks where octaves of audible goodness rip through time and space when.

2 - If you're not throwing any codes for your solenoid, 99.3% it is still fine.

3 - A set of G's? See 1 above.

4 - I need a beer and its only 11...well the bar on campus is open now

 

Also, your oil might be low or dirty. The screen might be clogged in the vtec solenoid. Take it out and clean it and try again.

 

i fixed the problem

 

so thats it.....you don't share what the hell it was.....what a cliff hanger

 

what was the problem?

 

it needed a new solenoid

 

you funny boss.

 

this may be true, i recently done the z6 into my 95hatch, ive checked everything, put a test light on my comp on the vtec wire lights up at 4500 with chipped ecu, solenoid clicks, lots of oil commin up threw the hole in solenoid, only thing im thinkin is either the cam is wore or the top part of the solenoid is gone
