vtec not kickin in

[94LSEG]

I have a GSR in a hatch.... and 90% of the time Vtec dont kick in and i dunno if it has somethin to do with it not have a o2 sensor or what but le tme know what it could be?

[ct9a gsr]

Try charging the phone or replacing the batteries. If that fails, we sell some pretty cheap Vtech phones at BestBuy... in case you need a replacement.

[Julio]

VTECH will never work bro. I think you got an LS MOTOR y0 ! lol

[94LSEG]

vtech in my motor there buddy

[94LSEG]

well since when did they start maken b18c1 blocks for GSRs ?

[94LSEG]

ls's i mean lol

[94LSEG]

oh shittt ... lol i just got that nahh i bought another car thats a 95 with GSR in it lol my fault dont know how to change my name

VTEC=Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control

VTECH= a cordless phone

lol, but yeh have you tried checking your oil level? what ecu are you running? maybe your vtec solenoid isn't holding enough pressure.

[94LSEG]

my oil level is good... im not completely sure what ecu im runnin b/c i just bought the car... and i dunno bout the vtec solenoid

look at the top of the ecu located on the passenger side by your right foot

[scttydb411]

if you're not running an o2 sensor and a cel is on...you have a few issues to work on first. have you checked codes?

Is it "lift electronic" or "electronic lift"?

[Vteckidd]

the original VTEC was "Lift Electronic", although most people miscontrue or change it to "Electronic Lift" cause it sounds better.

[Pher]

Look at the block and make sure it says B18C1... not B18B1

[HatchMan]

maybe it's not kicking in cuz you spelled it the wrong way.......j/p

"when my vtec kicks in it goes ""waaaa waaaaa waaAHHHHHHH""

-rumplestiltskinbeatsyeah, that's sounds about right :D

[EmminoDaGreat]

check and see if the vtec solenoid has btw 14-30 ohm resistance... or do the click test

thats how mine sounds because I still have my fukin secondaries, can't wait to get a new IM to replace those.

[speedminded]

[IntegraXTR]

c5 runs good on a p72? isn't it going to throw a code because of the butterflies?

[speedminded]

c5 runs good on a p72? isn't it going to throw a code because of the butterflies?no it didn't run as good as now..it just kicked in really hard for some reason (no CEL at all)...maybe just because it was at the wrong engagement point for the cam lobes. I got a P73 about a month later and the engagement was so much smoother, it's still a big change though.

[IntegraXTR]

hmm, speaking of which, could I run a p73 on my gsr? or it wouldn't work at all?

[speedminded]

hmm, speaking of which, could I run a p73 on my gsr? or it wouldn't work at all?not with stock internals...the engagement points are differant for a reason...differant cams, etc...just run a piggy back unit like a VAFC or something to play with the fuel, etc...

yeh, did the vafc thing already, not really worth it, rather just get a chipped ecu

[speedminded]

[IntegraXTR]

OBD1 or II?

obd2a I believe, its a 96'....I've used a vtec controller on my last integra (DB2), I think my next step would be uberdata because of all the options it has and money wise.

[Vteckidd]

Uberdata>VAFC

Uberdata requires obd-1. You can not chip an obd-2 ecu. It can be reflashed or a piggyback can be run, but you can not chip it. You would need an ecu from a 93-95 w/ manual or automatic whichever you have.

and you are correct, thats why I was planning to get a obd2-1 conversion from vteckidd and run a p28.

[99SI]

I gotcha, the way I read your post previously was that you wanted to chip an obd2a ecu from a 96. That's why I posted what I said. Just wanted to make sure you weren't going to go on a never ending search to find out how to chip an obd2 ecu! :D

[99SI]

btw, I run a chipped p28 obd2-obd1 conversion in my car. I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

[Speedm0(\)key]

hmm.. i dont know much about VTEC or hondas alone, but could it be like the 2zzge engine problem?.. the lift bolts were wearing down?

lol, sorry for the confusion, but yeh that was my plan but wondering would that fail emissions?

[99SI]

^^^absolutely! As long as you have a catalytic converter and can put back on the stock obd2 ecu w/o pulling a CEL then you won't have a problem. The emissions test just plugs into the obd port and reads the ecu, if you are not pulling a code then you will pass, if you are pulling a code then you won't pass. My car wouldn't pass even if I hooked my stock ecu back up b/c I have no cat and a 2.5 inch header back exhaust, not to mention a few other things that would cause a CEL! ;)

I like ninja midgets

[IntegraXTR]

sounds kinda complicated but good thing emissions is only once a year

if engine is cold, you will not be allowed to hit vtec, i learned that on a honda odyssey and a new TL

if your oil levels are not on par same thing, dont keep doing it if you can get vtec activated, you probably are damaging your engine cause something worng with it, IMO

he already checked it, I think his vtec solenoid isn't holdin enough pressure, or should check his ecu to see what he's running.
