Ok i recently did a h22 swap into my 4th gen and its been runing like shit drove it for 300 + - miles and i finally got it to a performance shop

i was too tired of trying to fix all the problems
my vtec wasnt working i had idling problems
they fixed all the problem
bad timing
valve adjustment
bad wiring
bad vacuum hoses
suspension was hooked up wrong
IACV was outa wack because of the thermastat
etc

(i had 2 of my friends help me and one of them fucked everything up)
i was running hella rich

i did a oil change on the motor once the motor was in with synthetic 10-30
since the car was running so bad the oil got blacker then black and they said it looks liek it hasnt been changed for 10k+ miles its sludgy and all that
would that cause vtec not to work since it works off oil?

 

It checks the oil pressure not the consistency.

 

Since the oil was sludge, it was probably killing the oil pressure by not flowing correctly.

 

ok they got vtec to crack
but it does the total opposite of what its supposed to do
when vtec engages its supposed to make you go faster....but in my case it bogs the car
they had 4 other appointments so they couldnt work on it anymore today
anyone know why it would do this?

 

i just called they said they checked oil pressure in the head and htere isnt any they tried checking through a port on the head
what would cause that?
