Not saying my shits fast or anything..but U cant even feel Vtec engage and they dont pull for SHIT. Swapping in a k20a3 is the only way those cars are even the least bit alright.
you cant vtec because itys vtec-e which is in the sohc d17. since it doesnt have a second cam to switch two, it runs i believe 12 out of 16 valves until 2k rpms.
