See anything wrong?

 

Nice flat powerband.
Get bigger cams and rev it 500 more!

 

well the chart is the low cam, we tried and tried vtec would not engage but I dont believe those numbers arent bad for the toda c primaries

 

jeez 200whp out of that without vtec is pretty nice, you would pick up alot of power if you could get vtec to work haha, BUT what did you try to get it to work?

 

everything minus pulling the rocker arms out and checking them.
The motor has been assembled for about 4 yrs cant remember if I assembled the head or the machine shop after the valve job but I am taking bets that something is missing in the rocker arm assembly. I have never messed up installing rocker arms but who knows gonna tear the top end apart one evening this week and see whats up

 

I was going to say, that those were low whp/trq numbers for that size until I read the no VTEC part. Nice numbers on the low cam for sure.

 

wow you made more power without vtec than most builds on this site make on lsvtecs..

check the 0 ring on cam cap number 3..and bypass the oil pressure switch if you havent done it...most comon reasons for vtec not working..

 

Yea I was also going to say check that o ring #3 camcap

 

Great torque numbers for no vtec!

Make me want to put my car back together and go get some number!
85x92 here!

 

x2 happend to me once
easy fix

 

Just checked the o-ring is there but the dowel pin isnt in the #3 cap?
Everything else looks good all the rockers are correct

 

Easy Fix! Glad you figured it out quick

 

yeah pretty quick fix. get that dowel pin in!

 

Not sure if thats gonna fix it but thats all i see thats not correct

 

Car will make 250+whp with vtec.. Nice numbers.

Smooth that AFR out, that car's setup should like 13.3-13.1 AFR


Did you jump the vtec noid?? Do you hear it click?

 

Yep jumped the soleniod even tried jumping it during a pull but no luck

It did click

 

Something inside isn't working properly, at least you've narrowed that down.. check the rockets, make sure everything locks up.

 

looks like an easy 250whp, remind me of mines when I tuned the first time it made 210whp with no vtech @7k. good luck finding the problem.

 

I'd like to see updated power numbers and a dyno plot when you get it fixed.

That things looks pretty damn healthy.

 

glad you at least got going on this thing chris. cant wait to see it with vtak.

 

good to see my old motor going again...

just think...6 years ago the thing made 191/126 with i/h/e....before going to RLZ for the build....and you just beat those number...ON THE LOW CAM!!

 

I installed the dowel pin with a new oring but it just seems too simple for that to fix it?
Does anyone have a nice pic of a dissambled rockerarm I can look at to make sure everything is correct I mean everything looks right but doenst mean it is. Curious which rocker locks first, second and last just curious about the orientation.
thanks everyone for your help.

 

Thanks casey yes it has been a very long time coming it sounded great but no vtak.

 

I cant wait to get it up and running correctly gonna drive it for awhile and getahead and send it to 4 piston and get a set of roller cams and rockers along with a set of kinslers.

My goal is to make 300whp on pump 93 or e85 if more then great haha

 

cant wait to get my toda c's on the dyno

motor looks like it healthy
