0 hondasport Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have an itr airbox and a full exhaust system, but the catback is the most effective for vtec sound, now I hear it kicking in.On the b18c4 there is no oil pressure check on the vtec system as on others?

0 KiNK43 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 No that sensor is not on b18c4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krzys Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If the oil level or pressure is low VTEC & IABS don't engage still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hondasport Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 @Krzys how does the ecu knows if the oil level/pressure is okay? I doesn't have a signal on the ecu for that? Or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krzys Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Oil pressure sensor, must have one otherwise the oil light wouldn't work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hondasport Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 yeah, but that's just for the oil light, there is no connection to the ecu or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hondasport Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 how does it check the oil then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 noodels Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Maybe a volt / resistance needed to engage the solenoid valve picked up by a signal via ecu,maybe via an earth more likely as its not a live feed to solenoid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Krzys Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Pretty much noodles thats how my mechanic explained it. I just know it works with unicorn fartsYeah, it's exactly the same as other B, H & K series with VTEC, temperature, pressure/level needs to be correct for unicorn farts to work.

You want a whales p***s and a full system manifold back and it will be a completely different car. Basically vtec kick in around 4,5k but around 6k it has a thing called IABS which is what you feel/h
