Im running b16a sir II, when vtec kicks in there is no power gain.....I had a good friend of mine drive it and he said I was right....."there is no pwer gain or loss" It does sound strong though......(normal vtec) What could this be?

Your fuel or Air or engine temp madness might be out of wack? I don't no though! Never had a car that had vtec in it!! But I heard vtec can be affected by insufficient air and fuel!!

make sure the vtec control solenoid is working. differnt oil types really shouldn't hurt any thing.

I might be wrong but it engages (but lacks the power boost)so it is working......Right?
