hickster Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 You mean the stats on wikipedia? Can't see many errors apart from the vtec-e point is not 4000 and the torque is wrong I think. If you have an MA8 your engine is a D14-A2 by the way, the D15-Z8 is only found in the MB3 and MB9. The info is contained in your chassis number and on the id plate.

hickster Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Ok tired brain ! your looking at buying an MB3, I geddit. They're great, the wide range 'box means you won't feel any power increase over the MA8 though as stock. I sleep now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickster Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 That looks about right. The vtec point moves around a little and it also runs on twelve valves under crossover.Handy tool though, pootle around all day with the economy light on then punch it into flip mode and back again without it missing a beat.

Yes, forgot to add that. About the vtec crossover I think it should be at exact same rpm. Did you check it with a vtec light ? The econo lamp doesn't indicate vtec engagement.

The econo lamp doesn't indicate vtec engagement.I have been thinking about fitting a vtec light as on mine it's hard to feel the change sometimes. In lower gears it seems to depend on engine load- I am running with a slightly cracked catifold at the moment though might not help. Accelerating hard from standing it sometimes seems to kick in as low as 2100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEMB2 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yer the vtec point is 2500rpm but when you in fifth gear it comes in at 3000rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
