I have not checked anything personally. I do however have a A/F gauge and data logger setup (the dynojet one) that should be here any time (heck it should have been here already). I can use that to work on my fuel pressure regulator, but I still need to get the thing onto a dyno at some point. I believe that my cam lobes are not fully extending when VTEC is engaged.

Greg- I did a little research on your oil pressure. It seems that at idle 25psi is the norm. Pegging your 100psi gauge under normal driving was not normal. One thing you can do to check if your vtec is engaging it take your airbox cover off. With it off vtec is a lot easier to hear.

Comptech is worthless when it comes to setting these fuel regulators. I sent mine back and they said it was set well within their specs. I hooked up a fuel pressure gauge and found my idle psi to be less that 30. It should be in the high 30's at least.

 

Yeah Alex, I'm reading around 25PSI at idle (warm motor) - reaching a bit over 80PSI at higher RPMs.

I'm not insinuating that there is no engagement, rather that the valve is somehow not allowing the lobes to fully rise to their intended profile. The net result of all of this being "VTEC lite". I still smell oil burning too, so the problems could somehow be related as well.
