wondering how vtec runs on carbs not in computer system?

heres da hints..

 

Why carbs?? EFI is much better, IMO. How much power you making with those? Any dyno pics. Thanks

 

What kind of vacuum advance distributor did he use?

 

either im retarded or i cant see? its either connected to the distributor and in that case im assuming vtec is always on? or its ran to an rpm activated switch? distributor could possibly be a modified cardbed d series?

I really don't see the point in going from EFI to carb.

 

not a lot of people seem to see the point of going carb.nor do they understand..no reason to knock on it though..

 

Crbs are a very effective way of gaing poor mans power, Due to the drop in prices and increased options efi out performs imo. There are execptions ask Bisi. I own a set of mikuni carbs but chose efi.

 

very nice man...could you send me some info??

 

what do you want to know about? basically my ZC is carbed my b20vtec is fi. Each set up had a different budget.

 

can someone explain what he's showing us?

 

yeah i would alos like an explaination on how it is done.

Carbs make alot of power and work almost as good and ITBs ( notice i said almost). I dont understand how they work on VTEC but i have seen them work on out vehicles and work really well.

Only one prob, Carbs dump alot of fuel so you will need to go to the gas station more often

 

How d o ya do the VTEC to Carb thing ?????????????????????????????

 

u can tune carbs to be more fuel efficient.. bisimoto tuned his and he got 27 mpg back in in the day. I always think its funny when people compare carbs to ITB's, it has been proven that with the proper tuning, carbs can make the same amount and sometimes even more power than ITB's... also, ive heard the fuel atomization is much better with carbs, and the best part, they cost a lot less

 

yeah but does anyone know how to make VTEC work it Carbs ?

 

I dont think this is a project anybody should take on, unless they have a race only car. ITB's might be ok for daily driver, but it better be a 9k+ RPM daily driver.

FWIW, NOPI sells weber carbs. Look under integra and either intake or engine component.

 

I'll bet those motors when sized with the proper carbs and tuned properly are torquey as heck...

 

Dope ****!

 

fuel atomization is better with carbs. this would be a projec tthat would be much more easilly taken on if you had experience in past with carbs. Even just snowmobiles and ****.

why does everyone ask how would vtec work get an rpm activated switch doesnt need a computer for this and hook it up. that is. I want to know where they got the carbs to fit on the bseries head they never made any carberated bseries is a custom fabed intake?

 

where can i get a VTEC activation switch ? or how can i make one ?

 

a place called paeco sells a kit for the b16 i have a catalog here with me. they come with webers

jesse

 

u can find carbs on ebay or wither fabricate ur own manifold or buy one from TWM. also, although an activation switch would work, i heard that over time, they can burn out ur vtec solenoid. also, ive heard one reason that carbs may not be good with vtec is that the carbs cannot compensate for the vtec changeover.

 

CLEAN those plug wires man!!

 

how does the rpm activator switch(which by the way msd carries them they are like 100.00 bucks and you can change the pills to get vtec to kick in whereeveryou want) ware out the vtec selonoid it does same thing that the computer does your just altering at what point it engages just like a switch.

 

You guys are all forgetting the fact that you need to add a bunch of fuel when vtec activates. So there goes just a rpm switch idea. I beleive the vacume advance idea is more along the right direction, with the rpm switch.
