If your VTEC kicks in you arent in limp mode

Are you throwing any codes?? i.e. check engine light on

 

vtec doesnt kick in at 6900, on the gsr it kicks in at 4400 and the secondaries open at 5800

none unless the ******* that put it in pulled out my check engine light

 

but vtec isnt kicking in til 5450

 

Put your key in the ingition and turn it on (2 clicks) and then tell us if you see the CEL come on and then go off. If it doesnt your CEL light could of been pulled.

 

ill try it in the morning ill let you guys know tomorrow thanks

 

im going to do it now

 

Come on man dont post 2 times theres a such thing as edit.
Let us know

 

sorry im just new to this **** but anyway ,when i turned the key the engine light came on but when i let it click twice no light came up

My bad man thats my typo..as long as the cel came on when you clicked your key means the bulb is in there and working

I think it could be your ecu..try a friends ecu and try and narrow it down a little more.

 

hey no cel's then - what do u mean it kicks at 5400? you hear noise then or feel a pull then?

if you hear noise at ~4400 then feel pull at ~5700 then your fine - that is what the p72 is sposed to do.

Im sure its fine, is this your first Honda???

 

sounds like my b16 del sol. I can hear the vtec kick at around 5500 but I really feel it pull at 6-6500... I haven't dyno'ed it, but that must be where my torque maxes out.

 

vteck owns jo....i just don't understand....

 

your cams should change from small lobe to large lobe @ 4400 then the IAB should open @5600 i think, maybe 5700.

two distinct sounds. your car shoud sound like it farts at 4400 and then sound like it starts gulping air and pull harder at 5600.

well actually if you tune it you should not feel either. with a gsr intake manifold and cam gear/ fuel tuning, you should be able to get a very flat tq curve.

 

Add a VTEC light to make a better determination. You might just have a weak VTEC.
