So this is my First GSR before, and im still learing.

Been doing a lot of research on how GSR vtec Works. (I have only ever had b16)

Stock P-72
OEM Everything (that matters in this situation)

Im not hearing/Feeling Vtec Kick around the 4500 Mark.
But i do Hear/Feel the IAB's Open at 5700.

No CEL's Except Code 17 (speed sensor, the cable is broken)

So i disconnected the Vtec Solenoid and took it for a drive
and i didnt feel anything differient. Not slower, and the IAB's still open. Just as loud when they open. (and too quiet to begin with IMO)

Fresh Oil Change, Oil is full, and everything is hooked up (i think, because no CEL's)

I did the swap myself so i dont think vtec has ever worked.

did my research and cant figure it out

Please help!?

thanks!

 

i dont think vtec works without mph working and the stock gsr vtec hit at 4500 another at 6000 you will def hear the 6000 unless it's chipped it will only be once but you said oem so idk correct me if im wrong...

 

Really? I only thought the Speed sensor made a differience on OBD-2... Huh
Guess im buying a Speed-o Cable tommorow

 

You def need the speed sensor. When i first got my gsr running in the crx vtec wasn't working. Turns out I had the same problem due to the fact that my speedo cable was not in all the way because i lost the clip. Found the clip put it on and vtec worked...

 

btw on EF's the VSS signal comes from the cluster I believe. So you don't actually need an electronic speed sensor. Works out the same. But you need to use your old gear out of the stock d-series trans. Drops right into the b-series transmission

 

yep cant vtec without vss

 

having this same issue, vss cable got kinked, how do i get the old cable out and a new one in, or do i need to buy both the vss and the cable together?

 

is anything else affected by the vss?

 

SO THIS IS WHAT GSR VTEC FEELS LIKE!!!
hahahaha

new cable napa had IN STOCK

Pulls awesome thanks everyone!

 

yeahhh baby...Vtec lol just another somebody to race...lol j/k i think you need to do what he did too buy a new one

 

My new Honda! Fu$&in mustangs! Fu$&in mustangs! Fu$&in mustangs! Fu$&in mustangs!
Veeeeeeeeeeteeeeeeeeeeec! Noooooooooooooooos!!!!!

 

umm well given you have a cable drive gear in the trans and not the electronic one you just pull the cable out of the back of the cluster, and pull it inward towards the inside of the car

 

gsr vtec? lol my ef feels no diff than my buddys em1 b16a vtec

 

LMFAOL

 

and i got a b16 swap with a gsr head
