I was looking at Chris Millers NRG tech civic hatch and i noticed he had no Vtec solenoid? Can someone explain this to me if they know?


I noticed he said he has custom cams and modified rock arms. Does that have something to do with it?

There's no need for the vtec function if your engines rpm's never drop below say 5k. So guys with big money and even bigger aspirations modify their heads to lessen the mass of all the moving parts.

Quote: He is using vtec. He is utilizing a "cam trigger" kit to actuate it is all. If you look on the front(timing belt) side of the motor, you will see there is a sensor, and wire connected to the bracket. That bolts to the head where the power steering used to. That senses a magnet in the cam gear, and tell the compute what the rpm is. Everything else can be take off of the other side of the motor now. And this kit is more accurate as well.
You're either joking or you need to STOP posting in HT technical forums.

Lol, how would the rocker arms lock together without oil pressure from the solenoid? 3k posts, its time to start reading and stop posting.

I'd also like to see him change his name so vtec was spelled properly, being the vtec expert he is.

In his mind copying a copy cancels everything out and it's an original idea again.
