just ask santa for vtec and he will send those magical vtec faries we all love who will give you that mad thrid gear vtak yo.

Seriously, you can just "add vtec". The delsol is wired for it yes, but you need to swap your head. Search, its covered in here a million times.

Son, do you KNOW what VTEC is, how it works, why it works, and do you think its gonna double your car's speed?

VTEC is not a computer chip that makes your car go faster. It increases max HP and increases gas mileage a bit, but its a trade off still. VTEC is a solenoid that acts as a switch that changes cam profiles for more power/better MPG. its built into the top half of a motor, and you must switch motor heads to a VTEC motor head. PM me if your serious and want to know how to do this.

If running the wires is what scares you, a VTEC head swap is not for you.

i don't think he's questioning your ability of building n' fabricating, so don't apologize I think this statement you made is what he's commenting on:
