I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Vtec Problems

Post by popeye » February 11, 2005

I have a 95 Gsr motor in my 92 Hatch si. It has a SKunk 2 manifold on it when vtec ingages (4500) you can feel it and hear it but, around 6000rpms it seems like the car quits making power. What can it be? I have tried everything I can think of. Might it be because since there are no secondaries anymore to bring in more air the cam can't make the power to 8000? And the Vtec controller I ordered needs to get here so i can move the vtec up to ingage at a later rpm.
