y1 tranny fifth gear question

[jriley60]

i'm looking still online but i figured i would ask while i look, i drove my friends ef with a b16 today and it seems like it hits vtec around 4600 with the j1 trans in it. So i'm wondering is it going to be the same with my y1??? because i couldnt do over 65 on the interstate with out whailing away at the vtec. is it okay to drive with vtec engaged constantly like that or do i just have to go 65 everywhere. anyone ?

my buddy has a eg hatch and hes in vtec all the time i dont think it will hurt anything but im not super sure

[LIKEG6]

your trans has nothing to do when VTEC engages

it will hurt your gas mileage though if you are in it all the time kind of like a turbo

I'm at 4700-5k at 80mph,and stock VTEC engages at 5k but I bumped it up to 5500

[N/A EK]

MIne is a 5k at 80mph.

How did you bump it to 5500 that's where I hope mine is

chip the ecu ! and yes with b16 trannys you really cant go that fast with out being in vtec.My friend has his vtec at 5500 but with stock p28 at like 75 -80 hes in vtec

[jriley60]

so is it bad for the car to be riding for an extended period of time in vtec?

[jfrolang]

bad for the engine, no. It's just an oil pressure activated pin and larger camshaft lobes.

A chipped OBD-1 ECU is the way to go.

I have a phearable chipped p28 and converted to obd-1

you tell them whatever you want and mods you have and they send you an ecu

[jfrolang]

A basemap is no substitute for tuning.

true but I'm not tuning my low compression b16

When I told phearable my mods they were like "huh?"

[jriley60]

well i really can't think about converting to obd1 right now although it's a maybe for the future. i've got a long way to go till then though. on a good note motor should be finished real soooooon like tomorrow i hope

buy

p30 or chipped p28
obd1 o2 sensor
obd0->1 conversion harness
dizzy jumper

the instruction will come with the harness

[dustinkelley]

i want a ecu conversion too someone pm me so i know where to go!!! (to buy)

I'm not running any O2 sensors so I guess you don't necessarily have to run it.

This is the one I have: BoomSlang

[LIKEG6]

I have the phearable.net conversion harness, dizzy jumpers, ECU, obd-1 dizzy and 4 wire O2

[jfrolang]

Kevin - If you have a chipped ECU, you can disable closed loop and you won't need an O2 sensor at all, except for a visual emissions inspection. If you're using an unmodified OBD-1 ECU, you'll need a 4-wire O2 sensor.
