what would cause a weak vtec engagement? I can hardly feel my vtec kick in I can hear it though but when it kicks in its like a SOHC. What can be wrong with this thing? Its a b20b block with a b16a head everything came from hmotorsonline.

 

stock B16 cams? was it tuned?

 

stock b16 cams... when you guys say tune what do you guys really mean? Well my friend kinda messed around with my vtec controller but thas about it.

 

Take it to a shop with a professional tuner, put it on a dyno, and have it tuned.

 

Change your Vtec Fluid?

 

Muffler bearings failed...seen it a couple times. Or you might née to port the vted solenoid

 

I ported mine to 50.80mm, thats 2" for the slow people. I added synthetic VTEC fluid, made a huge difference.

 

put vtec engagement at 7000+ with da controller
no powerband but yo it will kick ...

 

 

small cams?
a decent tune?

 

the b16 head could have come from an auto trans car. the cam profile is different than ones that came with a manual trans. try to get it tuned asap.

 

try low oil pressure or a clogged filter screen

 

x2

 

Need to tune the car.. if your running a stock ecu i can see why.

 

LMFAO

 

You guys are so dumb... thanks for the help anyways. vtec fluid, muffler bearing what else stupids.

 

Now thanks for the real help checked those too filter on the soleniod is clean and the oil pressure gauge is being installed soon so i can check the pressure. As for ecu its a chipped p28 purchased here from a member of this forum.

 

If you need a "good" tune, you can pm for details.

 

pffff get outta here dude. all he needs to do is set his vtec controller to 3k and add some fuel on his vafc.

 

solve all your problems with the "K24" modification. best thing you can do to a B series.

 

 

thats like saying solve low oil pressure by adding coolant. wtf.

 

Weak VTEC engagement means one of two things:

1) you don't have a VTEC head
b) your engine is properly tuned

If you want to feel VTEC hit hard the best thing to do is get a VAFC and set crossover to 7k rpm. Alternatively, you could accelerate at 1/2 throttle and then nail the gas when the engine gets to ca. 5000 rpm.

 

ok...see atleast with us you could tell we werent serious...


you on the other hand sound like you really believe what you just typed.



are you F@*KING kidding me?

 

Dood it works. Also I don't mean to thread jack but could some1 tell me why VTECH engages at 5700 rpm on my GS-R. Does the lady who had it before me put in a Type R ECU?
