But because I've got a ek with b18 and i can hear the vtec engage at 5200 and kicks in at 5800 til redline, its weird thats all

B18c2 engines.. vtec kicks in around 4500 then a secondary butterfly opens up around 5800

b18c7 (dc2 type r) engines.. vtec kicks in around 5900.. no secondary butterfly

so i'm assuming your EK would be a b18c2 (you can tell the difference between 2 engines by the intake manifold.. b18c2 intake manifold is reversed)

dc2r, vtec is either on or off.

and it will come on at 5800.

you wasted money getting the solenoid cleaned for nothing?

LOL

the EK must have vtir motor

Vtec will come on at different RPM's on different cars, please research this before you embarrass yourself more.
