vtec-e question

Hello I was wondering if there is anyway of changing the vtec engagement point with vtec-e so I could make it engage at lower revs which would change it quicker from the 12v to the 16v.

thanks

Ummm NO. The VTEC-E crossover is lower than a VAFC can go. The only way to get it any lower would be to use a chipped ECU. I set mine to crossoever at around 1500 but it ran like absolute ****. stock crossover or somewhere where tuning shows it to be beneficial (whether higher or lower) is best
