Great numbers Drew! What was your setup in the before dyno? Are you running the stock Vtc? You know what max cam angle you're running?

The car must pull hard! Congrats

Thanks for the reply UltraPower. You think more powsr could be made with the Rsx-s vtc?

Where did you set the Vtec point?

the added VTC deg seem to excel more in the mid-range than anything.

VTEC was at 3500 i believe

You don't want to run a RSX Type-S VTC mechanism in the K24.

The stock RSX-S VTC gear allows for 50 degrees of cam advance, which is too much to run on the K24 block due to piston-valve clearance issues. Technically, the K-Pro should be able to limit advance to 45 degrees, but since it is only an electronic control, it's not guaranteed to catch every stroke.

The safest method is to machine the TSX VTC gear - that way it's actually mechanically limited to a certain amount of advance.

How's the car driving Drew?

Also, how much boost are you making with the 3.15" pulley?
And you used a Gates 75.5" belt, correct?
