I pulled out my b18b1 with p30's the other night and swapped in a b18c1, i put on a new intake manifold (JG), clutch and ACT 12.5lb flywheel. Engine has about 70,000 miles, clean, good compression, starts up very quick and idles beautiful with absolutly no sounds. it is a 99 motor obd2, I used obd1 dizzy, obd1 injectors and my LS harness. I have so far swapped the map sensor, IAC (obd1), IAT, O2.
I put the b18c1 in, wired the vtec to the chassie harness and vtec worked but it seems really weak like you can bearly hear it kick on but it doesnt go any faster when it does kick on, but it is activating. so even though I am using a p28 i wired up the knock sensor and it still does the same thing. I tried a real spoon p30 and it still does the same thing. I know my b18b1 with jdm p30 pistons was faster and so does everyone else i let try it. It just feels like vtec is not kicking like it should and the engine does not sound like that scary vtec sound that every other dohc vtec sounds like. I pulled the vtec soliniod and it looks pretty clean.
What else should I check? Something has to be wrong, it feels slow. just for shits and giggles i raced my friend with a stock 2001 integra gsr and he beat me by a few car lengths, granted my rev limit is 7600 i am in a civic coupe with basic I/E and intake manifold (yes i know that is for high RPM, I am going turbo soon) So what do you guys suggest me trying/doing?
Thank you
