Re: VTEC not working...I dont think
I took the solenoid apart and it was clean as a whistle. Hooked it straight upto 12v and i could hear/feel it clicking just fine but i still can't "feel" it engaging. Shouldnt it tear my face off, i mean it IS VTEC after all.
But seriously. Next step, im going to wire in a switch to interrupt the 12v output from the ECU so i can toggle it on and off while in the vtec rpm range. I've got the wire that is supposed to go to the AC Clutch powering the solenoid. That puts out enough amps, right? |

Re: VTEC not working...I dont think
I couldn't hear my single cam go into VTEC. I know it was because there was a very slight change in tone but with the boost its very hard to notice.

Re: VTEC not working...I dont think
w/ certain exhaust you will hear a change at crossover due to the differance in airflow and all at vtec.

Re: VTEC not working...I dont think
can you disable the oil pressure check, etc? you may have a dirty pickup or a nice dent in the pan, check it out
|
Re: VTEC not working...I dont think
you wont here it on that,

Re: VTEC not working...I dont think
IMHO, the ass dyno cannot detect a single cam crossover. vtec on only the intake side, and its not really that big of a TQ change like a B series.

Pan has a small dent ~3mm at the bottom, I dont think it's causing any problems. I would like to get an oil pressure gauge on there. Found a MAJOR boost leak and car is running good now. Power seems to pick up around the VTEC engagement point so for right now I'm gonna assume it's working. When i get some time, im gonna hook up an oil pressure gauge and hook up a switch to the solenoid so I can fiddle with turning it on/off. Thanks for the helps :) |
