today i went looking at sir civics with the brother and 1 paticular car got my attention
it was a civic coupe with a gsr stage 2 dohc vtec 1.8 from an integra type r, with ajustable cam gears, (??????????? never heard of this before)
anyway basically what the stage 2 is, is that you have a kick from vtec at 5000 rpm, and another at 6000 rpm
in gods honest truth, its crap
just noise, no power or kick, whatever the cams did, it wrecked the vtec
this car was supposed to be 220 bhp, more like 20 bhp
i checked the engine and it was perfect, no smoke, noise, rattles, nothing
so advise to any vtec owners
either get cams that work properly, or in my eyes, leave the engine alone
its quiet powerfull enough without fiddling with them, the cam side of things at least
