VE slower with both hi cams??
Hey guys I'm really hoping someone may be of assistance here as this is doing my head in!
Here's a brief rundown of what's happening: I have been using the P12 solenoid on my P11 sr20ve for the past 9 months and as far as I knew it worked fine, the only issue being the car was about 15hp down on the power it should have been making.
So anyways, the other week I find this thread just randomly http://www.sr20-forum.com/vvl/15110-cam-angle-sensor-vtec-actuator-p12-onto-p11-head.html and suddenly it seems as though I have only had my exhaust hi cam kicking in! Well there's my lost hp I figured. So I took the P12 solenoid to a machine shop, got a P11 gasket and got him to mill that groove into the solenoid housing so la de da i should now have i-vtec
BUT, here's my question for you guys, is it possible/likely that my car is now slower than it previously was on lift?? Because it certainly feels that way.
Difference isn't huge, barely noticeable but I am 99% sure it's slower than it was on just exhaust hi cam.
The reason I ask is because I did have the car tuned when it just had exhaust hi cam, so now with the intake cam kicking, could it mean that my afr's are now all over the shop and hence, slower on lift?
I know that whacking it on a dyno will most likely answer the question but atm I don't have the time or money to spare, so I'm asking you guys
Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry for the long post!
Cheers, Dan.
