I don't know what the oil pressure in VTEC was, but I overheard the mechanics talking to each other saying the the oil pressure was good and holding?

I am using the UR manifold, yes.

 

yesterday I ran the car a bit, not much time in vtec, becasue I have bald tires and it was rainig a bit, but a 5000 rpm oil pressure was 80 psi constantly and ilde 25 psi

I took out the oil cooler. to get mo0re pressure, once I got tires will do some full runs

 

And see, I don't think oil pressure is my problem, which is why I didn't really think the sandwich plate was going to make a difference. Looks like I have to take the kit off, run NA and see if it VTEC's properly, and just go from there.

 

I made some runs...... no vtec, oil pressure at 80 psi and A/F ratio drops to 10 when I pass above 6000 rpm.......


I am using 10-40W oil. and no oil cooler



I will try again with less traffic and with a friend so he can looks at the watches while I am driving

 

In VTEC, my oil pressure is around 65 psi all the way to redline. Better than before when it was around 58 psi after VTEC. Around 75-80 psi before VTEC with 10w40 oil also.

 

So I have 2 options


Check the vtec selenoid
Open de Head and check for the pins



is necessary a Honda mechadic to do this, I do not trust Honda Spain, they left the sparks loose, the oil filter also, They could not install the stock hoses after I pull off the SC.... a friend of mine lost 20 hp after Vtec valve adjustment.....

 

Take off your vtec solenoid and make sure the fine filter screen in not blocked.

 

So strange. I was told that my oil pressure is solid. In a weird way, I guess I'm glad it's not JUST me having this problem.

fperra, i would HOPE that my mechanic checked something as simple as that, but i guess I should ask to make sure it's not that.

I am in the process of gettin an OEM header to see if I can still VTEC properly NA.

 

Keep us Updated

 

Well, I contacted my mechanic about the VTEC solenoid filter screen. he said the filter was fine.

Onward towards testing VTEC non-boosted. I REALLY hope it works fine, that would mean my engine is a-ok.
