Has anyone heard of this ... a friend of mine was a reckless driver/destroyer drives a integra a while back he lost his vtec it no longer gives him that extra vtec boost and you never hear it ... i find it to be funny plus he runs on 3 cylinders because he blew one.

If he's one of those types that never changes his oil then that might cause the valve to clog, but it will typically throw a code if something is wrong. If he actually is running on 3 cylinders then vtec is the least of his problems.

VTEC runs on Oil pressure......

VTEC runs on Oil pressure......

VTEC is enabled by a solenoid passing oil pressure to move the synchronizing piston, locking all three rocker arms.

:lmao: How true!!

How long was VTEC running with 3 cylinders? That should've gone out before or immediately after the 1 cylinder.

i never asked him but it was funny to me too ... we were talking about when we feel vtec on our cars he just said in a sad voice "my vtec doesnt work anymore"

funny thing is i owned a 91 teg, 3/4 cylinders worked.
still kept up with my friends 97 maxima v6 aahahahah

ohh ya thats how i found out he only had 3 cylinders he raced my other friend with a 2000 civic ex and won ... so we always joked that he won with only 3 cylinders

Your friend should post a WTB: VTEC ad over in the Classified section.
