If you want the car to be a little more exciting for daily driving, I recommend setting the vtec to 4K rpm rather than the 3650 it’s currently set to. I played around with different crossover points today and this spot seemed to work the best. Well I’d say the best is probably 3650, it’s super smooth (can hardly tell the crossover happened), but it’s not exciting.
15 years ago I was big into NA B series civics, and recently built myself a daily that can function as a great car to take to the mountains. It’s just a 98 civic hatch with a stock B16B swap, when vtec hits the car pulls so much harder, and it’s a very loud crossover. I wanted that same feeling with the 86.
Anything higher than 4K and the car felt slow down low, but I couldn’t tell a difference between 3650 and 4000 other than it was just more of an event when vtec hit. I did do a little tuning to make sure that everything was going good.
If you go to main setup in the Haltech, you can let the ECU learn fueling and timing needs. For fuel go to 02 control and then long term, enable that. And then for knock go to knock control and enable that. You can then go back into there and click apply to base after driving around for a while. If you leave these on the car will continue to apply what it learned up to a certain point, applying to base just ensures it can continue to do so.
