ulev vtec vs vtec.

BoyBlue · May 25, 2009

Now that I have my exterior and interior plans all laid out I want to start researching performance. I would like to stay with the F23 and I was thinking of getting a vtec head and have some work done to it. I have the ulev vtec and I would like to know if I would have to change out the computer or any sensors to put the vtec head on?
Thank you for your time.

Same head just 2 HP loss with the ultra low emissions version.

its the hippie motor... replace manifolds and get a straight pipe!

Not to mention you have a 32-bit ECU and a wideband O2 sensor, I'd assume the harness is different as well.

Seems kinda pointless for 2hp....

Friggin California residents and their tight a$$ emissions laws:roy:

according to cars.com the ULEV models are available in Ca and some parts of the N.E.

But it's only a 2hp difference which you wont feel

I'm planing on getting another head and having work done to it. not just replacing the ulev to gain 2 HP.

ulev vtec vs vtec.
