I haven't actually dyno'd it yet but it just doesn't seem to pull very hard on the top end... When I first put it in I have Neptune RTP and I kept hitting the low cam rev limit 7500 rpm, got frustrated and had a buddy burn me a chip with crome the crome low cam limit is red line. Any ideas as to why its not engaging? Something miniscule I may have over looked, the distrubtor and injectors are from my B16, The VTEC solonoid is from my B16 also.

 

So you dont have the correct ecu /maps?

are you getting any CEL codes?

 

No CEL's the neptune is a P72 starter modified and the crome is labeled stock ITR.

 

from your description it sounds like vtec isn't working, is that whats going on?

 

Yes that is what I believe to be happening. I have checked and added grounds, switched vtec solonoids.... Still just doesn't seem to be engaging.....

 

chech this thread from the FAQs https://honda-tech.com/forums/hybrid-engine-swaps-18/%5Bfaq%5D-%22my-vtec-doesnt-work%22-1812135/

 

But I am not getting a CEL thats whats throwing me off. I am gonna double check everything in that thread thanks!

 

Do you have sufficient oil pressure to engage vtec? Maybe the oil pump is giving enough pressure

 

oil pickup sounds like it may be clogged or blocked. i'd check the oil pump too like ef-hatch mentioned.

 

thanks for the ideas I am gonna double check the wiring then try and find a oil pressure gauge to check it, i will be pissed if i have to drop the pan since 100 miles ago I just put in Mobil 1..... There goes another 40 bucks!

 

if you have a super clean container you can re use the oil... just make sure not to get any dirt into it

 

Well there is something wrong with my VSS, according to the log its maxing out at 4.375 MPH which was not fast enough to make VTEC engage..... I hate it when you spend so much time going in the wrong direction.
