Turbo Vtec

[kmiller]

I want to put a turbo on a vtec engine. Is there a problem when vtec kicks in? I've searched, but haven't found much. If someone could direct me to a post on this.

the problem with that is you may end up going so fast that the space time continueum will be torn....

lol nah just make sure u get a good tune.. dont go cheap.. and dont boost it too much with stock internals..
i have a jdm d15B vtec and plan on boosting mine on 8-9 psi on stock internals with a DIY Turbo..
the d16y8 is a good engine to boost but i wouldnt recomend any more than 8psi on a stock block...
dunno why the d15 can handle more on a stock block and last longer but thats why i got it.. ..
long story short
vtec+plus Turbo= Sex u wont notice the vtec kick in anymore anyways.

HAHA, yeah. idk somehow in my mind it doesnt work. with vtec sucking and the turbo blowing haha. Could i still run pump gas? with 6-8psi

there is no reason you cant run pump gas on turbo. The only real reason to run race gas is just that. race motors need the extra octane, ie 13:1 or higher comprerssion on all motor engines. E85 is an alternative pump fuel but for your set up there is no need for it. You will have to do extensive fuel system upgrades to run e85.

new siggy..lmao

but as stated above, vtec is useless at that point.

you can run turbo with vtec fine but the vtec isn't worth a s**t if you're boosting imo.

amen to that, to me it was just more of a tuning hassle lol

I've heard that from a few people.

Just think of it like this, depending on how ur intake mani is shaped, ur vtec will make ur engine just sound cooler.. Thats honestly good enough reason for me to keep vtec lol

Better rod/stroke ratio than the D16s, I believe.

the point of vtec is to alter the valve timing during high rpms to optimize performance. your motor doesnt care what psi the air intake charge is at during those rpms, so long as the timing and valve lift are correct. so yes, boost + vtec works great esp if your turbo can handle the higher rpms
