i got a "swoosh VART vtec controller" without instructions, n i dont know how to install it!! its going in an eg with obd0 b16.... does anybody have this or know how to do it?

don't, pointless... unless you are having it tuned to set the vtec at the point where it will make the most power. chances are if you do install it you will end up hurting your car's overall performance.

EmminoDaGreat

throw it away.

dapek

X2, definately don't install it, just sell it or give it away. You will be getting no more power by lowering your vtec down to 3/4k or wherever you want to set it, definately just if tuned properly. Check this out so you can understand vtec better http://www.hondahookup.com/info/vtec.php

so wats the best rmp to have it kick at?

instructor74

Unless you have a built motor and are tunning for max hp then the stock setting is best for all around daily driving

i dont know what stock vtec kicks at but after talking to the guys at phearable.net for a while, i decided that 5500 would be a good place for my vtec to kick. my b16 is pretty stock other then having gsr cams. i am assuming that 5500 is about where it should normally kick though, but i can tell you right now my car hits vtec at 5000 and it definitely doesn't feel right it doesn't really start making power till 5500...


hahah

chickenwing

don't do it

For you.............stock

z6hatchboy

you splice the vtec solenoid wire at the ecu and some other wire. Look up how to hook up a vafc or buddy club vcon controller, you do it the same way. If you want to do it thats your thing, but it really is pointless and wont help

jeremyrocksursox

how about a vtec controller on a b18b? ive been thinkin about gettin one

you dont need a vtec controller listen to what people are telling you.

hondahead21

dont do it,honda have the vtec set at a certain point for a reason,and for you that point is perfect!

dividedas1

check some ls/vtec threads... don't post that here. next thing you know we are going to have a bunch of newbs asking how to install vtec controllers on their non-vtec motors... ughh what is wrong with honda-tech these days.

DeucesWild

first, you'll have to start by getting a motor that actually has vtec.... then you will still be wasting your time getting a vtec controller. if your car is not built.... stock ftw.

batallic

b18b = non vtec, VAFC dont get it it useless

shiux

perhaps his B18b is LSVTEC?

DeucesWild

perhaps.... then why not state such information?

Otherkid

This is ridiculous these kids want a vtec controller so they can set it at like 2k and all that. They dont even understand that they are completely useless unless you have a real build. and then a vtec controller for a b18b lmao.

gshatch

Set the vtec point low and make a dyno run
Set the vtec point high and make a dyno run..
You now know what the low profile end and the high profile takes over. Permentantly set vtec at that point.

gshatch

you determine that point by overlaying the two graphs

'96typeR

well i guess it really is pointless.... but i have my head port/ polished by JUN complete with valetrain and ECU, running with CTR cams.... i dont really want to mess with the ECU anyway! i guess im juss going to sell it?! i only got it cuz it was new for 50 bucks!! thanks!

why does my vtec kick at 7000 for ?

AdamB18C1EK

this "kid" doesnt understand its useless to begin with anyway when you can chip your ecu with oh i duno such softwares as uberdata, crome......for free? hey then you can tune that thing all you want. since youre already under the impression you can buy a "vtec controller" and make your car run better. and P.S. Otherkid. Theyre useless even if you have a "real" build.

AdamB18C1EK

i love the civic forum. of course id HATE to be a mod here. id ban about 7,000 members a week. im sure if you search you can find out why your vtec "kicks" at 7000.
