Prangy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 My vtec is not exactly working. It engages, but is not hitting all the way. I called around and asked what it could be they said the vtec solinoid, or an oil leak making me loose pressure to use the vtec. My friend has a y8 head and I have the z6 head. Are the solinoids the same because i know his works and was going to put it on my car to see? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 theyre the same, try replacing the little rubber gasket. that might be leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 what do you mean not engaging all the way? like is it to high in the RPM range or you just dont feel it hit hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prangy Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 K will do Nancy... and I Just had it tuned at a place in Milwuakee and it was on the dyno. The guy that was tuning it said he checked to see if the solinoid had the electric current running to it, which it did. It engages at like 4800 maybe i can not rmeember right off my head its around there. He said it may be an oil leak making less pressure. I will try my friends, now that I have the turbo at 10 pounds will I feel when vtec hits, because I could only hear it before barely when the car was stock since its just a lil guy. I am not really sure how i am going to know its working unless I feel it you know? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 the z6 vtec cross over isn't supposed to hit hard it was ment to cross over nice and smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex37211 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Does anyone else find it alarming that he's running 10 psi on a d16? The VTEC should be a noticable acurance but it's not like downshifting or anything. Do you have any reinforcement to your bottom end?

Hatch92 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 bottom end while be fine as long as he is running a set of forged rods and a decent set of pistons. the crank in the d-series are strong as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prangy Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 maybe i just feel like blowing my motor? no we rebuilt it with eagle rods and srp low comp. pistons and arp head studs to keep that puppy down. I have seen d16 run way more boost then me 10 is safe for me so i do not blow my crap and have no car again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
