maybe your vtec soloniod is work as good as it should and have you adjusted your valves either

like myah said check your valves. A friend of mine swapped in a b16 into his 95 civic coupe and he took it for a spin and his vtec lagged. He did a valve adjustment on it and boy did it sound good. No more lagging. You probably need to get a tuned ecu for your particular setup. You aren't taking full advantage of your setup. Also the ls tranny is slowing you down some too. Get you a b16 tranny if you aren't boosting it. The b16 tranny has shorter gearing and is better for na setups. With all that done you should have no problem running in the low 14's. At least if you don't change the tranny soon get a tuned ecu and do a valve adjustment job.

we already planned on getting it tuned in like a week or so.. the valves are adjusted to 8 n 10.... and the motor is in my buddys car until i get a harness and hes going boost so the ls tranny is staying... but i heard that the golden eagle ls/vtec kit has an oil line thats too big?????? causing not enough oil pressure.... could that be it.... ill adjust the valves again just to make sure... cuz i can still hear a lil ticking.... plus where running really lean... and our idling is jumpin from 2500 down to 1000.... we changed the tps to a good one cleaned out the iavc... somebody said that its our throttle body.... any ideas on that one..... let me know

wow wow wow wow dam they need to be .007 on the exhaust side and .006 on the intake side man whoever set your valves didn't do it right those setting are factory spec and thats what i have my shit set to and my whole team has there set too your map could be going out also and no man i run the golden eagle ls/v kit and it works just fine but you need to adjust those valve better and what gas are you running you need to atleast 91 in your car with the higher compression pistons in it i had a hard lesson learned to do your shit right the first time so do yours right man
