Adjusting VTEC to an earlier RPM isn't going to work too well for you without also adjusting the cam angle at the same time (VTC), and then also fuel and ignition timing. I wouldn't recommend installing a "VTEC controller"

what is the variation of timing, on say the k24, at vtec engagement (timing at low cam just before and timing at high cam after engagement)

I think the factory setting is at 7k or even 7500rpm.

Just get your ecu reflashed by hondata!!! It's only $300 plus shipping. Steal and Deffinetly worth it!! Vtec's lowered to 5000rpm's and redlined at 7600rpms. Best bang for the buck. VTec controllers are for bseries.

our motor are meant for 91 or premium for whatever state you're in. lowering the octane would basically make your car weaker. I dont know if there are any harmful side effects, but i do know you wont feel as much power.
