Icon6 Vtec does less power than no Vtec with boost

Hi all,

Thats my problem.

I put a turbo kit on my type R with rocket motorsport cams/springs/retainers

I rebuilded the base, (sleeves + news pistons/rings)

Everything is good when the Vtec is off (roading).

I changed oil after roading and before going on dyno, I found metal on magnetic oil pan nut (more than usual).

When I were on the dyno and put Vtec on, the power band of WHP/WTQ V.S. RPM engine dropped.

At 7000 rpm / Vtec off / 5 PSI, I did 202 whp, when I put the Vtec on, I dropped to 165 whp.

I heard the Vtec very well but whp dropped.

Can you help me ?


Thanks all !

either swap in some GSR cams or free up the exhaust restriction in the turbo setup. You either have a restrictive log manifold and/or small exhaust. A smaller cam will be a quick fix for you

I had a similar issue and it was because my rocker assembly was installed incorrectly

i would think the cams are too big for your setup

what is your turbo setup, and what cams did you put in?

what would be the reason behind the excess metal shaving in his oil pan?

What turbo? What pistons / bore? What size exhaust / dp?
