ROFL!!! That picture looks like the drawing by the caveman on Far Side cartoons!

Which reminds me of this one:

An executive was in a quandry. He had to get rid of one of his staff. He had narrowed it down to one of two people: Debra or Jack. It would be a hard decision to make, as they were both equally qualified and both did excellent work. He
finally decided that in the morning, whichever one used the water cooler first would have to go.

Debra came in the morning, hugely hungover after partying all night. She went to the cooler to get some water to take an aspirin. The executive approached her and said: "Debra, I've never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off..."

Debra replied: "Could you please jack off? I have a terrible headache."

 

Here are the pictures of the adapter with the turbo oil feed I said I'd get to you. Hope this helps and keep us informed on your progress.

 

Got the new sandwich plate in...no change in the car's performance. Sounds like something mechanical...now this sucks.

 

Interesting. I thought for sure it would have been the oil feed location for the turbo and changing the feed to the sandwich adapter would have solved it. It still sounds like an oil pressure problem at VTEC. On your sandwich adapter, is there a relief valve? It looks like a little ball bearing in the adapter plate. If this is there, it should be taken out and the hole welded up. It could possibly be relieving too much pressure. May not be effecting anything, but it's worth a try. Good luck.

 

I bought the sandwich plate directly from UltimateRacing. Do I need to do that?

 

No, UR's adapter doesn't have the relief valve on it anymore. So, no need to weld it up. You are good to go. Wait a minute, are you using the Frog adapter for your E-manage? I'm wondering if maybe you didn't hook the 2 left over wires on the Frog adapter back together. If I remember correctly, if you don't, VTEC won't work at all. I had this problem the first time I took the car out, even before the oil pressure problem. I wasn't sure what the wires were for until I had my first VTEC problem. Let me know if this is the case.

 

I'm pretty sure VTEC is switching over, we have that dip after the switchover, which is usually sign it's coming on right?

I'll let the autologic guys know to maybe check that though.

 

I'm not too sure if seeing a dip in the dyno graf indicates that VTEC is working or not. This is really strange and I'm running out of possibilities. You can try and unplug VTEC at the solenoid. It's located on the head at the front right corner of the engine (exhaust side). Run a few dyno pulls with it unplugged and plugged in and see what you get. Also, if you're using the E-manage, make sure that the S2000 code is put into it. If I remember right, you open the E-manage up and there are dip switches inside that I believe need to be switched to 4-8-c. Good luck.
