vtec in 4th gear

[GtecD16]

well just though i would ask for opinion for those who have even been in a d15b engine

my vtec kicks in at 5500 rpm or stage 3 and you can feel the kick
but for some reason when i shift to 4th i gets to 95mph and will be stuck there for a while and like some min later the vtec will finally kick in and we go past 95mph

does anyone know what i can do to make it kick in faster or even just kick in and not lagg
or is this how the d15b is with the vtec? i saw soem videos on youtube of the d15b and they go all the way to 100+with no problems

well just throw your .02 cents lol

[fastlanemotors]

get a bseries

[GtecD16]

please only post if u can help me out not stupid shit!

[2.0eg-si]

thats not stupid its the truth! or turbo the single cam FTW!

[SlowLS]

isnt that what a vtec controller is for?

[Mr.Burner]

im confused of the "stage 3 kick" what the hell is that?

[Its Shupe]

my old eg did the same thing never really did figure out what it was but gl man

[GtecD16]

the d15b has a 3 stage vtec setting well you can find alot of info on it but long story short the final stage hits after 5500rpm and well you know fast honda.

in fourth gear it just stays there and is like a 5400 rpm and wont just hit the 5500 so wanted to see if anyone had figured out why it does this

[GtecD16]

thats not stupid its the truth! or turbo the single cam FTW!

its stupid cause it has nothing to do with my question at all. im not asking how i can make it faster or what engine is the best for my honda...im asking if anyone had this issue and if so how they resolved it dur dur!!!

so for both you guys yes its stupid of course a b16 is better but thats not my question!

[Wholesaler]

dual stage you mean, no such thing as 3 stage

[GtecD16]

umm yea it is a 3stage vtec its a jdm d15b you can google the specs and it will tell all the info there or search it on here but thats what they call it a 3stage vtec lol

[GtecD16]

here is the quick link to it
http://asia.vtec.net/article/d15b/

[Wholesaler]

wow they wrote a whole article mis informed. So 2 vtec solenoids offer three stages? whats the third stage? it goes from 3 valves per cylinder to 4 valves per cylinder as the first stage, just like a vtec-e motor. Then the second stage works as a normal sohc vtec motor using the secondary lobe on the intake side. What is the magical third stage?

[GtecD16]

i believe the first is the lean burn from what it says the other two are the ones you mention

[fivesfe]

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT 3 STAGES OF VTEC!?!?!?!?!?!/!?!?!?! THAT MUST FASt!!!!!!!

Seriously though, you have a small motor that doesnt create alot of power especialy up on the highway, what kind of transmission are you runnin? Maybe you can get a transmission with better gears

[GtecD16]

well im the second owner of the car but it had a d16y8 in it before then he blew the engine

and grabbed at jdm d15b has same power from what pete from TSP told me
so i think it has a stage 1 clutch dnt know what brand and same tranny from the d16 might be a good thing to get a b16 tranny dnt know how good they are?

[Wholesaler]

i believe the first is the lean burn from what it says the other two are the ones you mention

thats has to do with emissions not vtec. Vtec has to do with valve lift and duration not how it burns less gas while its running on 3 valves per cylinder

...jdm d15b has same power from what pete from TSP told me

WOW... just WOW...

[B16offuryz]

the only reason your rpms don't go up higher is.......... ding ding ding......u aint making enough power!

[boostedrex]

^^^ i think we have a winner here

[b18c1ej6]

get a bseries

hahahah werd b18c1 if you can

[jägermeister]

I remember hitting 3rd stage VTEC in my auto single cam one day...turns out it was just a big ass dip in the road. Now it's faster.

[gcboy90]

turbo the fuckin motor...

[ILIKETODRIVE]

I'm not even going to say anything.

*le sigh*

[GtecD16]

wow just wow im not trying to make it faster thats not my question

you guys are not understanding what im asking for help in but whatever anyone who has or had a jdm d15b would understand what im relating to

its more towards the VTEC not HP or TQ or Bseries engine
JUST VTEC!!!!read the whole issue im having then post if you can help or have an idea of what can make this

the issue of it not having power bullshit! Dseries have good power and tq

like i stated before please just post if have an idea that might work or somewere that can help me out in this question dont really need someone posting get a new engine..thats lame and retarded

[Agent Smith]

....the issue of it not having power bullshit! Dseries have good power and tq

I LOL'D hard at that one.

[Wholesaler]

I LOL'D hard at that one.

a bit off topic but I got a 300whp d16y8 it's a fully built turbo set up an it's plenty fast enough for my needs

As to your problem I have no clue man try getting a v-tec controller an setting v-tec to a lower rpm

[Agent Smith]

Fully built & turbo'd pretty much ANY engine can make 300hp...

[my99ctr]

Fully built & turbo'd pretty much ANY engine can make 300hp...

doesn't change the facts
fact one my sohc set up most likely cost more than your set up
fact 2 Like i said it's plenty quick for me
fact 3 it is far from weak an it is a sohc

so please stop hating on the sohc

[Agent Smith]

only hating on people that think a stock single cam d15b has good power & tq... lol.

[Wholesaler]

wow it takes a fully built sohc TURBO to make less then what endyn makes on a all motor bseries.. im sorry

[my99ctr]

wow it takes a fully built sohc TURBO to make less then what endyn makes on a all motor bseries.. im sorry

Are you sure about that buddy I haven't heard of a bseries putting down over 300 all motor but I could be wrong that an I never claimed sohcs were better than b's did I??? I said there not weak.

[my99ctr]

all Im saying is a d can hold it's own Ive a homie that has a eg b16 ctr cams gt35 turbo an the motor is stock other than the cams he can't hang
an when you read this an reply well a fully built b vs a fully built sohc the sohc will lose ur absolutly right i wouldn't dare dissagree but to each his own all i ask is don't try to knock me you don't know me I have nothing against you an i'd like to keep it that way take this into thought if I have to money to fully build a sohc don't you think I could have gone with a b or even a k?? Than why the sohc? Honestly it was to be different I wanted to build something that would demand respect an a 300whp sohc that can whoop a turbo b now that demands respect. If you don't see it that way I can't change that nor am i going to try I just wanted to say my piece


an 2 the guy that started this thread it seems as though ur thread has gone way off topic an Im partically to blame sorry. Like I said try a v-tec controller see if it helps any if not build it or swap it

[Wholesaler]

327hp all motor, 300 hp out of a built FI motor is pathetic is what im saying

[GtecD16]

dnt worry about it the other guys never understood my question but thanks for the idea might give that a try

this topic is now dumb i state d series are good hp and tq i never said there awsome or there quick i just said they dnt suck why??? well i am all motor and i killed a charger on gilbert RD topiing out at 105mph so again like he state DNT HATE!

i dnt give a fuck if B series are good in hp or there trannys why= i dnt own a bseries engine and this topics was about a d-series so to you bseries lovers make ur own thread about it this is for dseries with the same vtec issue i had!!

[my99ctr]

Pathetic or safe??? I could easily get more out of my motor but I have no need

A) Please use at least SOME proper grammar & spelling, it is VERY difficult to understand you. (Side note, which one of you mods deleted the "english motherfucker" smiley?)

B) Don't Go 100+mph on GILBERT FUCKING ROAD!

C) You have a STOCK SOHC D-Series engine, THEY ARE NOT FAST so quit thinking they are. That doesn't mean that they are not "ok" engines or that they don't have potential.

D) We know the thread is on D-series engines, we are giving you a HONEST response, your car doesn't make enough tq to go super fast, sorry kid better luck next time.

[Wholesaler]

watch out justin, you might get a pm "putting you in your place" about talking bad about d series.

honestly the dseries is a great motor I have 4 cars I have 2 99 usdm ek 1 with a fully built d16y8 turbo an the other with a k20a2 turbo I have a 98 jdm sir with a super charger an a jdm sir does come with a b16 just incase u were not aware of that my 4th car is my daily an ap2 I'm not bragging just putting things into perspective I have a dseries a bseries and a kseries I also have an s2 an the sohc is not weak by any means I didn't want to have probs with you but its getting to that point keep ur dseries hating comments to yourself

by the way I own a real shop it's called cns customs up in sedona i know my shit an have the bank roll to back it I can crank up the boost on my d take it to the track an put u in your place

I also work on domestics I have an 8sec all motor dodge dart that's my shop car

all i'm asking is that you keep your negative comments about the d to yourself

wow d00d did i hurt your e-feeling? awww poor baby. gfy
