0 dr_broon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just double checking, so sorry if this is a stupid question, but when you say vtec, do you mean at between 3.5-4k revs, or higher at around 5.8k. Just cos on the b18c4, vtec is the first stage, and the second more noticeable increase is when the butterfly valve opens in the intake. Will help with diagnosis.As i say, sorry if I'm taking about stuff that you know already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 simpo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 As above which one have you lost? What mods are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GavEg Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 it's totally standard is the v-tec on these not like on b16 or h22 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 simpo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 No mate completely different! Unclip the air pipe from the air box and go for a run see if you can hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GavEg Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 oh right so not like a b16 or h22 at all?? lolwell i have replaced my b-pipe as it snapped by the silencer, but after that it seems i also have a blow in my backbox so listening for any noise is hard lol so how are these different? have i decided on the wrong enginei love v-tec and honda's - i want v-tec lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 simpo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 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/hear more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GavEg Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 ok cool - well i missed out on a catback toyo sports system on ebayit had a s**t halfords air filter when i got it - also had standard air box in boot - so put that back on for now need to sort out the hole in backbox so maybe i don't have a v-tec problem then after all this need to get coilovers fitted, then make the evo recaros fit , and then reshen up the dc2 alloys and get some tyres for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Krzys Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Just for info: VTEC engages around 4,400rpm, the IABS (the bit everyone thinks is VTEC) open at 6,000rpm. Any kind of air intake mod will help you hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 simpo Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah you won't here fook all with standard airbox on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodels
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.
