The engine has to have sufficient oil level so check your oil, and vtec engages when the engine is warm, not when it's cold. plus t operates under load so it won't kick in if your just reving the motor while the car is sitting, anything more than that is some diagnostics.

Thats because the Stock b16 cams are weak! Mine was the same way! I bought a set of skunk2 stage 2 cams and springs and retainers, And let me tell you VTEC hits real hard now! It pulls hard all the way upto 9,000 rpms with no valve float! So change your cams if you want to feel the mad vtak yo! Even if it is a set of GSR cams its still better than the stock b16 cams anyday of the week!

is it just me or 13.9 seems to be too fast for ek with itr swap....esp with winter tires

props to you
you must be badass driver
Notice he faulted, red light.

Look at the run on the right where his reaction wasnt a red light. .22 reaction, 14.19, still not too bad to tell ya the truth.

Damn that sucks bro! Be careful running your s**t hard with busted mounts! You will take your axels out! Least thats what happened to mine :( Couldn't afford new mounts at the moment kept running it and boom busted axels, So it cost me twice as much now! If you don't mind me asking where did you get your urethane mounts from?
