Try pulling the Vtec solenoid and looking for dirt in the screen. I've seen dyno charts where you'll get a chaotic reading @ Vtec with a clogged solenoid. Pull it off, clean the screen and take a look. Just give it a try, you've got nothing to lose at this point.

That's really interesting, I'll give that a shot today.

I don't think yoru boost is escaping, you're making less power than you would expect to make NA. Cam timing off, causing too much overlap, loosing boost from charge pipes, stuck WG. Something like that.

Since he's not running a MAF, I don't think that's the case... the A/F is all dicked up.

Somehow I typed "I don't think your boost is escaping." Which is retarded, because I DO think his boost is escaping. The third graph A/F is just fine, but he is making like less power than I would expect NA...

Oh and with the huge power loss at vtec, I think cam timing is way off. I mean he had to set it at 6500rpm to act normal... that isn't normal...

Boost can't be escaping... the gauge is reading 6psi right off the IM... where would it go???

Cam timing? How can I fix that... same thing as ignition timing? I think I was having some serious misfires past VTEC.

Right, I'm talking about the first two graphs, and saying that boost isn't the problem with the uberdata, because the A/F is dicked. I think that ECU is funky. The third graph is a different ECU from the first two.

So you think the ECU is causing lost power???

It's a new ecu, but vtec is at 6500. Were they still having the big problem at 5500, even with the new ecu?
