not to jump in here but ill put my input in. i built a b16a2 for puerly turbo app. it had 8.5:1 compression pistons in it. It ran ok but lacked power due to the low compression ratio (not saying that thats your problem0 I took my car to a shop to have the vtec controller installed and the car dynoed and the shop ended up messing up the motor really bad ,so I thought< I was getting the same stuff you were getting on your charts after Vtec kicked it went hay wire. I ended up pulling out the motor after a compression test reveiling that #3 had no compression at all. it ended up one of the valve guides had a small burr in it which was causing the valve to not operate proprley. I went throught the entire motor finding nothing else wrong so i put it all back together and all my power is back, i had to reset the vafc cuz the shop is retarded and dosnt know what there doing but other than that i went through all that for a burr in a valve guide. im not saying that thats your problem at all but you might check it out. test your piston rings they make air fittings that screw on like the compression testor to tell you if your getting blow by or not. the car is going into the shop next week after the fmu comes in and its getting dyno chiped and turboed. yaaa. well good luck i hope maby this gives you another aspect of things.
