beaniexx Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 hi all as title how aggressive is your crossover???as i hear mine change over which i must point out sounds awesome but it might be just me and comparing to my other hondas ; accord type r/civic jordan/ and integra type r. but it don't feel as powerful on the change over???even today drove a celica vvti and that felt more positive???im currently running ;integra cams and retainersuprated manifold and down pipeskimmed and port polished b18c4 headexedy clutchpotenza light weight flywheelshort shiftlong ram induction (diy typhoon style)now the exhaust has no cat and no centre silencer, just manifold straight through to a cherry bomb silencer.could this be a problem??? as no back pressure????also long ram is tucked down in inner wheel arch. will that be getting enough air as the mb6 vtis seems pretty air restricted there??? don't get me wrong car goes well and eats civic type r"s but it feels more like i-vtec then vtec??any ideas really appreciated??many thanksmike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickrueth Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It might feel more aggresive if you raise the vtec point. Bear in mind its set quite low(4300k) and isnt supposed to be too aggresive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottravenhill Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Mines straight thru jap can and it got.much slower than the oem exhaust. Possibly is that? With all them mods Maybe get your engine tuned up if not already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 i would say your long arm as i have one and i dont think my vtec works properly with it. try a short arm and see if that makes any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Got a short arm ram on my civic ek with a hole in the front bumper for force feeding..When i had it dyno'd i lost 8bhp when he took the fan away from the hole in the bumper!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 like i said i have tubing going from bumper and then over and covering the air filter.. so its not just in there.. also have heat wrapped exhaust which might reduce heat soak a little???Alot of people say (even the bloke doing the dyno, thats why he took the fan away) that it can actually loose power. but obviously mine doesnt!!
