We get to the dyno & I check the oil in the vehicle.. The vehicle is about 2 qts low on oil....The customer tops off the oil.

I put the car in the dyno & made a pull, I noticed a shitload of grey/white smoke comming from the exhaust...

The a/f ratios were pretty much right on target... I was like, dude are you sure this motor is new ?

The customer calls David Hickman... David tells the customer that the smoke is normal for a motor which is new...

I told the customer he is full of shit & to look at the power output the motor is making... The motor has massive blowby.

The next couple of pulls, vtec stops working...
The customer is still on the phone with Dave Hickman at this time, dave says vtec is not engaging because we changed the cam timing... SINCE WHEN DOES CAM TIMING EFFECT VTEC FROM ENGAGING ?

We check the oil levels, they are a little low still...

I then check all the wiring again to make sure the wiring is not the vtec activation problem... Everything is fine...

We pull the car off the dyno due to the issue, shortly after the oil pressure light in the dash comes on... At this point you know the motor has less then 4 psi of oil pressure.

(The customer did not have an oil pressure guage).


Moral of the story, David Hickman is a flaming moron & his products are simply scams.

Do a search on google.com / honda-tech.com :-p
