VTEC question

[93F22A6]

I just have had this random thought without an answer. Could you wire a VTEC motor to where you can turn it on on demand? Just a thought but if that could work how would you do it?

[C91BLX7]

Bad idea. Don't even think about it further.

[93F22A6]

That doesn't answer my question, and i don't care if it's a bad idea or not just curious.

its the cam profile that gives you vtec... not a switch you can push to have it on demand, i think you want nitrous

[93F22A6]

I know that its the cam profile, but if im not mistaken its electronically(sry for spelling) controled. That being said could you just wire it to where you could turn it on whenever you want too.

Of course you can turn it on manually. You just have to bypass the ecu switch basically.

Wire in a switch from the vtec solenoid and flip it at will. Many people have done it before.

Thats what i thought just wanted to make sure, thanks

whats the result from this... and what are the benefits?

the results are that when the switch is on then VTEC will be active. Unfortunately VTEC requires a certain oil pressure to function with out damaging anything.

Im not sure if switching it on would just have it on period, or if it will be on whenever the oil pressure is safe.

either way, having VTEC on all the time or switched on would be unreasonable.

Engine will run like shit at low RPM's with VTEC engaged.

What he said. I still see this mod as pointless. As someone else said there are parameters before vtec to engage as it operates on oil pressure. I dont like altering much technology that engineers from honda thought would work as a reliable setup. The only thing I have done was lower my vtec engagement point to 5000. its pointless to set vtec at a lower rpm just how I see it unless you have some sort of tune that tunes it for a lower rpm engagement.

[cb9wagon]

does anyone know when the p13 commands the vtec work. 5500? to redline? Redline on p13?

[NAiL05]

Some people have had different experiences some say 5200 and others say 5400. So its wierd.

lol...why?

lol...why?

too bad it sounds like a ricer question just me though.
