because in japan they need to be able to hit vtec at any moment, therefore they leave the vtec pressure switch off. j/k i've heard this but dont know the reason

usdm motors all have it.... but if u EVER wire ur own vafc the manuel tells u to cut the oil pressure wire and leave it...i have a 00 GSR change over in my eg and i dont run oil pressure....works great w/o it...
