VTEC will work. I drove around for over a month with the O2s disconnected, VTEC worked fine.

Hell, I wasn't even getting a CEL and even when I DID get a CEL VTEC still worked fine.

your o2 sensor check engine light shouldnt come on right away. it should come on after driving in 3 rd gear and deaccelerating (i think that was the gear). if the light comes on right away, maybe you should look to see if something else is wrong. what code are you getting and what ecu are you using?
