My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

I running a Y7/Y8 Setup in a 93 DX couple. My car runs like a regular DX motor, a friend of mine did the same thing and his runs better and his car is a 95 ex. I though that since mine's a DX it should of been faster. I even race my buddy and I almost couldn't keep up with him... What's WRONG with my setup????? HELP......

wiore your vtec. you sound like a lame ass ricer. do some research before you make yourself look stupid

I'm using a P28 ECU and all the proper wire is hooked up already. The VTEC kicks at 4,800 RPM and when the VTEC kicks it feels like its weaker then a regular sohc vtec. It feels like its not getting enough air.

How's your timing and is this on a stock ecu?

i didnt know you could even feel vtec on a single cam

Re: My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

Did you do the swap correctly.
Does your ignition timing reads correctly?
Is your caming timing set correctly.
did you remove the oil jet from the block when u did the swap.

Re: My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

where is the oil jet from the block located?

Re: My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

In the block ;) It's in between the two middle cylinders, when you've got the head off you'll see it.

jus put nos, you'll beat ur friend... or if ur starving of air, throw on a turbo kit... that always add's more air.

i have the same proplem but i think if you have a dx tranny that why you feel like it weak as hell do a compression test and if i remeber right the y7 doesn't have oil jet

Re: My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

Are you sure you ran the extra wires for vtec and the oil pressure switch? Alot of fools just plug a p28 into any old obd1 harness and think all the stuffs there and voila...instant vtec ::) And the tranny shouldn't really make much of a difference at all. I run a dx tranny on my z6 with no problems, and it definately doesn't feel "slower" because of it.

if I didn't wire up the oil pressure switch then wouldn't the check engine light come on though....

Re: My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

y7's have no oil jet. what intake manifold are u using? if u are still using the y7 mani, thats why your friend is handing u your ass!

Re: My Mini-Me Run like a DX Motor any suggestion????
 

I'm using a 93 DX intake manifold similar to a EX but the runners look smaller though is that why when the VTEC kick it feels like its lagging (feels likes its gonna stall)....
