Could I rig a simple switch to the green/yellow wire on the ecu to where if the switch was off the vtec couldn't kick in? There's a really long and complicated story behind this so no flaming allowed.

 

Yeah you can do that, you could also put a really restrictive exhaust on, say something like a 1" pipe from front to back!

 

i'm not sure about which wire it is, but yea, all u would need to essentially do is send a 12v signal to the vtec solenoid. I kno someone who had that done to his crx that he did an lsvtec to, he was waitin on the ecu so he used that ghetto rig temporarily.

 

Not flaming you, but I'd like to hear the long and complicated story... with Cliff notes!

 

Seriously, this story has got to be good.

 

a vtec motor is slow as **** without vtec...so i sure hope you arent racing

 

could be wanting to save on gas, maybe he races when appropriate, not on streets when anyone pulls up.

 

good luck messing ur motor up buddy

 

<i like this one... hehe
..maybe sometimes, you wanna let it rev a little high but you dont wanna use too much gas..so you dont want the vtec to kick in...(?)

 

Wow it's almost as if I said I don't waste your time flaming.

 

buy v-afc and raise your vtec limit.

 

if he wanted to save on gas he could just not rev into vtec.

 

maybe he has a problem that happens only after switching cam profiles

 

Please i would i like to hear that nice long and complicated story.

 

nevermind

well with a VTEC motor, i may be wrong cuz im not a vtec guy but doesnt it not even come on until something like 5500 rpm? thats a pretty high rev so unless youre really getting on it hard youre not gonna be using the vtec anyway right

unless hes gonna be letting his kid drive it and doesnt want them beating the **** out of it...in that case just get an MSD and set the rev limit really really low

 

Explanation (Cliff Notes Version) =

 

yeah...come on...tell us

 

hands up everyone who wants to hear the full detailed complicated version!

Me me me me me!

 

I'd like ta hear it too!

 

come on brother. lets hear it why would you not want vtec?

 

With all these noTec Honda/Acura owners spending hundreds or thousands to ADD Vtec to their rides...we'd all love to hear about why someone wants to disable it on their ride.

 

Why don`t you just buy a B18B then?? instead of messing up your motor,to cut of the holy VTEC

 

because he still wants vtec, just not al lthe time

 

dont rev past 5500 and you dont have VTEC lol
