lol, it's supposed to be smooth. a hard kick means you're losing power when vtec kicks in. you want to have power all throughout the powerband.
mmmmmbbbbbbbaaAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
oh ok so im fine as far as vtec kicking since its smooth when it kicksFROM L.A. TO KILL TOWN BABY

One way in testing resulst is race your car against your freinds chipped ecu and see whos vtec is faster!!!

Are you using a stock Integra GSR ECU to run your H22?
If so, that's a very bad idea.
Run a P13, or get a modified ECU properly tuned for YOUR engine. Otherwise, you risk doing damage.

VTEC on the H22a should be set at about 4800 RPMs in order to kick in smoothly and get optimum power. Now, If you want the kick, you can set it at about 5200 RPMs. 5200 RPMs will definitely give you the kick, and you aren't getting optimum power, however, it really isn't much of a power loss. IMO it's not a significant loss at all, and the feel of the VTEC kick is fun, so I think it is worth it.
Your friend has a chipped ECU so his VTEC is probably set to kick in later than yours. This is why you get more of a kick out of his ECU. If you want to change it up, you could get a chip and tune the VTEC to kick in later. You could also get a VTEC controller, but they are really expensive and aren't really necessary unless you're wanting to change your VTEC kick in RPM frequently.
Also, you should NOT be using a P72. That is not a good idea at all. Get a P13, that's your best bet.Last edited by CB7 Sleeper; 12-03-2009, 11:13 PM.R.I.P. Veronica - JDM F20A swapped 2.0 Si wannabe.

Yes, it is still bad. You WILL damage your motor. Get the right ECU for your application.Originally posted by FAMOUS T.R.K.

What country the ECU came from makes no difference. It's still from a B18. Why the hell did you think it was a good idea to run this ECU?Originally posted by FAMOUS T.R.K. View Postdammit i knew something was fishy when i saw b18 wtritten in big ass letters but its a jdm one is that still bad

If you saw IN BIG ASS LETTERS that the ECU said B18, why would you buy it to run an H22a?
No wonder your friends VTEC kicks in harder.

Modified. Chipped. TUNED.
The P72 is a good ECU to use when it's properly modified and tuned. It's actually preferable to a P28 (for reasons that I currently forget... because the P28 did enough for me)
But in stock form NO other ECU should ever be used to run an H22. The ONLY stock ECU that should ever run an H22 is the P13.
