perhaps this is solvable with a better tune or change the vtec point to 6500-7000rpm?
Unfortunately I cannot adjust vtec engagement with just the E-manage that is supplied with the kit. I would have to figure out how to wire in the harness to control vtec point.. It still has that extra umph at vtec just not nearly as pronounced. To me, the biggest downfall to the S2k is that it lacks low end power.. Now it has a bigger pair of balls down low.

When I talked to Taun at P-Tuning, he said the first thing he was going to do was to Raise Vtec, are you saying he won't be able to do this on an Ap2 with Emanage? He seems to know what he is talking about

In order to change the VTEC engagement point with this turbo kit, you need to change some wires in the harness. The ultimate CAN change vtec, it's just that the harness isn't wired for it. It's very simple to do

I don't quite understand this comment.

Are you saying this dyno chart shows a turbo does keep the stock s2k power curve?

I beg to differ, the torque is great up to VTEC (unlike stock) where it actually dips to redline (unlike stock).
Aside from the post-vtec dip (that can be corrected with a tune) its hold torque all the way to redline just like a stock s2k does....

The post VTEC dip isn't just a Greddy issue, ALL log manifolds seem to have a post VTEC dip in power and torque. On the other hand, tubular manifolds and superchargers tend to need VTEC set lower, not higher.
