i dropped in a b16 in a teg and for some reason it can't past 6500.. it doesnt redline, but when it goes up around 6500 it sounds like it's getting reved really high. and it does struggle around 4500-6500 and slowly stops right at 6300-6500.. what may be the problem on this?

 

so no one knows?

 

What year and model of Integra? What ECU are you using? Check and see if your VTEC solenoid is being activated or not.

94 gsr w/ jdm b16.. p28, vtec solenoid is good.. now what?

 

see if theres any ovbious problems with the wiring, also see what the timing is set at- not likley a problem but it wouldnt hurt

 

there are no obvious problems with the wiring harness.. everything is plugged in correctly and no cuts or breaks in them.. and the timing is perfectly dead on straight..

can the vtec solenoid do anything to affect it like that?

 

up for help

 

hows ur VSS. if its not working then the car will not rev past 6500.

 

do u have any CEL's

 

p28? i though stock jdm b16 comes w. p30? well i know the 2nd gen does..that might be ur problem...unless its chipped..?

 

what's a vss and cel? it's not that it redlines at 6500. it just lags and when it gets there, it struggles bad..

oh and i'm using a p72 ecu

 

if you are using a p72 ecu, then you must be throwing codes...what are they?

 

cel = check engine light, VSS = vehicle speed sensor, its on top of your tranny the ony plug there, i belive its 4 wire maybe 3.

 

would the vss do that to the car? and about the check light.. it's only knock, which i know doesn't cause it to stop around that rpm.. ill see wussup with the vss tho.

 

still the same crap

 

If you have a knock sensor code (23) vtec will not engage. If you have any real codes it may keep v-tec from engaging these are the most common 17 VSS, 22 Oil pressure, 23 Knock. Also take your v-tec solinoid wire and touch it to 12volts + and see/hear if its clicking. Its like a realy so you can hear it

 

it's weird, cause when i check for codes, the check light just sits there(no blinking at all) what's going on there?

i'm thinking it's the vtec solenoid. but thanks for your help

 

yeah if no codes it should activate. Do you have enough oil, low on oil will prevent v-tec. Or go with the prior and touch the green/white vtec sol wire to a battery + and make sure it clicks
