thinking about doing an ls/vtec build-up.
already planned everything out so dont try and change my mind.
anyways, my question is if there is any way to make vtec stronger?
i mean, can you like tune vtec to make it run smoother, as well as make more power?

Corey

Damn. I was going to come in here and make you change your mind.

BTW, The only way to make vtec hit better is to buy a Type R.

Buy a Vtech controller. You can tune it with that. Vtech is the shit!

Corey

That's always an option. It still won't be as good without a Type R.

S dot Camp

Very true. Type R Vtech is the best for sure. I heard that they use a different Solenoid to make it stronger. Any truth to that?

Corey

The Type R solenoid is actually a higher pressure piece. This is what gives it that extreme vtec pop that all the girls love.

S dot Camp

I knew it was true! I have to find a used one though. The new ones are too much for me to spend.

Corey

I heard that company that produced them for Honda went out of business. They were actually producing the vtec solenoids for the Celica GTS as well and Honda cut their ties with the company. I guess they don't like their suppliers helping the competition with quality parts.

I actually bought 4 solenoids from the Acura dealer when I heard this. I was afraid that mine would stop being efficient and would need to be replaced. I'm on my second one (not including the original stock one) as we speak. I can sell you one if you'd like. PM me for details.

Most definetly! I will contact you right now! I have been trying to get a hold of one for a while now. I am glad that you replied to this thread. I just got my Vtech controller last week so the upgraded solenoid will compliment it nicely. Awesome! I am excited!

Just put an s2000 vtek seloniod on your car, you wouldn't want to half ass your build with type r parts....
