does anyone know which way the vdi arm is supposed to be blocked by that black metal piece? by the blunt side? or by the narrow side?

 

helppppppppppp, all i need is a pic or something of the VDI installed

 

 

I think nobody knows WTF you are talking aboiut, including myself. Maybe be a bit more selective of the terminology you use, pictures, descriptions, something other than "the thingamabobby that sits beside the doohickey doesnt work, how do I fix it?"...you'll get a better reply.

 

haha its the black blocker on the circular plate, that blocks the acuator rod from going to far, i need to know which way to orient it

See? I told you...

 

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mine is on right, how come i have no kick at 5500

 

on some cars it is more pronounced than others. Have you used grease to check if it is opening?

I once had a car that I believed it not to be working.

I pulled the VDI solenoid electrical plug, put a set of wires on it and hooked it to an in car multimeter, this confirmed the ecu was setting it off.

I then tested the solenoid per the FSM, this confirmed it switched right.

I then took off the hose from the solenoid to the VDI adn applied compressed air to see if the valve opened, it did.

I then took off the line over by the air pump and used compressed air shot into the supply hose for the solenoid(where the pressure would normally come from) and found that there was a leak between it and teh solenoid, not allowing pressure to get from the air pump to the solenoid/valve. Do all these checks to verify it works. Check the 6 ports the same way. These are teh 2 solenoids on top of the rack of 5, beige and white. Both get air pump pressure, 6pi at 3800 under load, vdi at 5500 under load. Must be under load, not at idle/neutral.

 

Would it be bad to just somehow wire it open all the time?

 

Hypnytyz, how wide are thos wheels?

 

It would be bad to wire them open on a street car.

The wheels are 8 wide, but run a 215 40 tire.

 

You can best feel the 6-ports & VDI cut in at half throttle in 2nd.
