468fwhp B21 on 22 psi...
Hey as it says I have a 94 civic ex and I put a ls vtec in it. The motor runs ok up until where vtec is supposed to kick, once it hits vtec the motor feels like it hits a rev limiter...I have perfect oil pressure, its all wired up correctly, when I changed vtec to a different point it does the same thing. When I disable vtec the motor will rev up to wherever I set it at, 9k. I am out of ideas on this, could it be internal? if so what could it be? I am out of ideas, help....:(
 
Ya it doesn't sound like the engine is seeing the oil pressure at the vtec sending unit. Then when the vtec is supposed to engage it doesn't. I had the same problem with my mini me when I put my P28 in and didn't have the sensor hooked up.
 
yea, its all done right, and no CEL's. any help?
 
im assuming you have a vtec controller bc you said you changed it to a different point. all i can say is double check all of your wiring and make sure everythings hooked up.
 
no vtec controller, I have an ostrich, and all wiring is correct, went through it yesterday, my vtec solenoid works and it tries to hit vtec but something isnt letting it, like mechanically. What in the head would not let the lobes switch? cause without vtec I can rev to whatever I set it at. But with vtec when it tries to engage something is stopping it....
