I did something weird

So i installed a switch to ground the vtc's at my leisure inside the car. I was experience some very odd stumbling yesterday that was straight pissin me off....


After some time of playin with the switch... i did something weird

I "grounded" vtc's through the switch then ungrounded them.. so i flicked the switch off then on (for active vtc's).. turned the engine off then back on... no clacks but a problem free ride?

The car seriously pulled wicked hard from then on out for the rest of the night with no clacking sound. From 65 mph in 3rd gear to 110mph i havent felt many cars that pull as hard and smooth. Almost got a ticket! haha..

any ideas or is this just a rare occurence.

Well I don't know what to tell ya. When I have my switch set to have them grounded, it loses quite a bit of power, but...it sounds cooler ie no clack, louder intake. But when I have the VTC's on, the motor rips it. Pehaps you've discovered and ancient Japanese secret, from back in the 1900's.

Sounds about right

when mine were grounded it had VG inspired top end

ungrounded = ve powah!



Also with mine going from grounded to ungrounded generally made the clacking go away for a little bit (sometimes a lot of bit )

Yeah,mine done the same thing when i had a ground/unground switch...It's a good fix for the clacking...Just filp the switch back-n-forth a few times,voila...No clack for a while..

I also suggest you stop making useless posts to up your post count,this usually leads to a swift ban..

Look though the past threads/find one that pertains to your problem/post in that thread...
