hey guys its me agian, iam wondering if we could make the vtec kick in little harder?? i have a d15b i cant even feel it.. so if there any upgrades or anything to make the vtec kick harder let me know... thanks guys

D16SiHatch · 07-29-2009, 11:29 PM

its not suppose to "kick"

by definition if vtec is functioning properly it should be a seamless changeover. If you all the sudden felt a noticeable power increase when you hit vtec then your engine is not running properly. now it is possible you're vtec may not be working at all. if you don't have any ecu codes then run a test wire to position A4 at the ecu. when vtec engages this wire should show +12v. if it doesn't then you've got a problem. now even if it does register +12v you can further test if you see fit by running a wire out to the engine bay and hooking it directly to the vtec solenoid. If you see +12v there at the rpm point and above where vtec is supposed to engage then you know everything is working properly.

He wants this.

Instead of this.

blasterman87 · 07-30-2009, 01:45 AM

lol, check the v-tec fluid, or maybe install new powerbands... hell if that dont work then get new muffler bearings, that will help

Djk94hb · 07-30-2009, 07:40 PM

Rather than make fun why not help out... If you really want make your vtec feel like it is working harder try buying one of the following a skunk2 cam or an intake manifold w/throttle body spacer and/or just a bigger throttle body. If you really want to feel a "KICK" ditch the d series motor n get a K or B series or even H

Absolutely. A throttle body spacer and an intake manifold will make your vtec kick in so hard your eye's will sink into their sockets. World of difference.

lol vtec isnt nitrous.. its not soposed to "kick" thats just the way it is, and thats all the real help you are going to get on this topic

phyregod · 07-30-2009, 11:53 PM

Yes it does, it should kick hard enough to break the back off of your seat if you have it tuned right.

Like this one

DESPAIN · 07-31-2009, 02:36 PM

anyone know what "zetec" stands for? its on the v/c on a 2.0 ford engine?

blasterman87 · 07-31-2009, 08:53 PM

Adjustable Powerband - $249.95 : KaleCoAuto, Hard to find automotive items!

thats what you need for extreme power... only 250.00 bucks!!

CAFROG · 07-31-2009, 10:58 PM

^^sweet deal.

Or you could do a simple thing and just make VTECH kick in at idle. Just turn the solenoid upside down and off you go!! Yo Yo Yo....VTECH....they make sweet phones too!!!

97hatch · 08-01-2009, 12:53 AM

i did wire a relay to the wire for the vtec solenoid to activate nitrous one time that made for the maddest vtec you could imagine +100hp when that shit kicks in its like a rocket ship on crack. i didnt event tell any one that the car had nitrous the bottle was mounted in a 15in sib box with a blown sub with all but the paper cone removed from the back side lets just say the rumors about my car hiting vtec was halarious i even had to give a few ricers a ride to stirr the pot and create more rumors.

sorry guys i mislead many people on what vtec was and it was wrong now many in my area think vtec is like a second motor kicking in

AHHVTEC · 08-01-2009, 01:17 AM

just for the added info one of the reason why most noobs thinks that vtec actually kicks in is well it kinda does. but the reason is the torque drops off right before vtec and when it comes back in the butt dyno tricks the mind lol

mdpsEG · 08-03-2009, 05:12 PM

97hatch · 08-03-2009, 10:12 PM

sorry no vid or pics as i kept it pretty secret as i raced for money a lot and this was like 4yrs ago

LOWLIFE · 08-03-2009, 10:21 PM

how did you hide the N20?
where did you put the nozzle at?

air filter directly on tb with bracket for nozle inside and lines covered in loom every thing else was mounted in the car

including the fuel tap i cut and flared a T in to supply fuel

LOWLIFE · 08-04-2009, 07:13 PM

i had planned on loomin it all up but the nozzle was my biggest issue i had, if someone knows what they are looking at it would be realitivly easy to spot even more so if a wire tuck has been done.
