well I went to the dyno today to tune my haltech ems. fuel was fine and as was timing, but every run made just around 140whp. The motor I have is a jdm b18c1 and I'm really confused. The low speed lobe made perfectly flat torque at 112ft-lbs and when vtec hit it spiked to 125ftlbs and just kept falling on its face so fast that whp was damn near perfectly flat at 140whp. any ideas?!?
My setup is pretty crude, 2 1/4 exhaust with a 2.5 inch flowmaster muffler(was in the garage from an old v8) and the stock intake boot with a filter for an intake. The motor is a jdm b18c1 that came off a car with an auto trans (maybe cams are different?) and haltech ems thats fairly decently tuned. The dual intake valve opens and vtec does work. It definitely doesn't sound as loud as the b16's opening up vtec so maybe I'm suspecting something is wrong with vtec somewhere. Any ideas anyone?!?
