    where oh where is my power?

    so my h22a4 swap is done (or at least i think it is) all thats left to do is wire my vtec
    i drive it around and stuff now but i just dont feel like its as fast as it should be
    i have tried smashin around a little but my car like cuts out at around 6.5k
    i dont really know why its doing that and it feels sluggish and slower then the old f22
    so i was wondering if vtec not being hooked up is making it seem so slow
    also im going to do a compression test this week and i have no idea what numbers im going to want to see

    im not to sure about the h22's but i know the vtec for them kicks in around 5.3 or 5.5 rpm so that is probably why its cutting out...

        Don't stress bro. I finished my H22a4 swap a couple months ago and I absolutely love it!
        My ECU was getting a new basemap, so I didn't have VTEC for the first couple weeks. During this time, I did feel that it was a bit sluggish, but it still pulled harder than the F22a6.
        After I got VTEC going on a chipped p06...well, I am in love; that's all I can say! You will see what I mean once you get your VTEC wired up; you just need to experience it.

        As for cutting out around 6.5k, I would check your distributor and other ignition components. I had a couple distributor and coil issues after the swap that made it do such things that you speak of, but around 4k instead.

          could it be that i have the wrong dizzy?
          i tried it out then bought it when my car started with it
          i never checked to see if it ran good with it cause i had the wrong injectors at the time
          so does it have to be a curitain one? cause i have an exturnal coil one

              The non-VTEC cam lobes don't make power above the VTEC range... so it will be sluggish after 5k.

              Don't beat on it until it's completely installed. You might break something.


              Also, have you done a compression test to make sure the motor is healthy? It might be a tired motor...

                  It's quite possible. The ECU doesn't know what to do with those lobes at that RPM.

                      there is a DIY for that......

                      you should have done a compression test BEFORE putting into your car.

                      You should get a chipped Po6 ECU. What ecu are you running?

                              Hmm... you put a new engine in and didn't completely install it. Not to be a jerk, but what do you think is the problem? Try finishing the job before asking why it doesn't work.
