No "vtec controller" is worth buying. They all for the most part suck/aren't worth it.

I think you need to turn your damn caps the fugg off first.

Secondly, I have a B16A2 in my EM1. When I rev to around 8k and I shift I'm still IN VTEC. If you're not then you're doing something wrong. Either you're shifting too soon or you're shifting too damn slow.

Neither one of those will be fixed by a VTEC controller.

Ban, thats what I think.

You have to listen to most of the poeple here though. Everyone is saying save your money because it's a waste of money. Save for something useful.

I'll second that...save your money. If you're going to do anything, get a chipped P28 and find yourself a tuner. Regardless, either method is not worth the money for the small gains you'll see.

How does that Spoon vtec controller works anyway. All i see is a turn dial **** and a led light. How are you suppose to know what rpm is set at
