So I just had a B16A2 engine (SiR in Canada) installed into my 94 Civic Si (Canada) and I am far from impressed. NOw I know where I had it swapped they didn't replace the ECU becuase he said it was OBD1 and wouldn't fit so he just re-programmed my original P28 chip and said it would be better anyways. However, the car pretty much stops pilling after i hit 4000 rpm's and my buddy who drives a stock integra with 140 HP. compared to my new 160 HP engine, took my doors on the quarter mile. I only beat a 94 Si with Intake and exhaust by .4 seconds as well. Shouldn't this car be running faster now? Keep in mind that everything is still stock.. i haven't done exhaust or intake.

 

it's cuz ur canadian!

 

is vtec working? there could be a lot of things..one might be that it's a trash motor..who knows

 

Thanks for all your help guys.. really though.. this is pissing me off. I just spent 5 grand on this engine and want it to be performing the way it's supposed to.

 

Should have spent it on a good turbo

 

I beleive it is best too have a good engine before turbo my friend.

 

sounds like VTEC is'nt functioning properly, you may not be getting CELS because the jackass that programmed it took them all out, take it back to him and have him check it out, if he wont or cant fix it, take it somewere else.

Find a known good ECU and install it, see if you pull CEL's or if VTEC engages.

 

$100 says you're running on a STOCK P28.

 

Vtec is working.. i can hear it kick in.. i like it.. but i do have a feeling that I'm running a stoc P28 as well.. I'm not so sure that he chipped it like he said. I'm going through gas like crazy as well...

 

get an new ecu he did not chip it thats what the problem is

 

were is your rev limiter at???

When does VTEC engage?

What exhaust are you running it through?

Are you sure VTEC is engaging?

 

exactly what this guy said. where does the rev limiter kick in at?
