I open my car up at least once a day, sometimes more than once... it's good for it, keeps carbon build-up to a minimum (as long as you're not bouncing the rev limiter all the time, which starves the engine for fuel, which is bad).

Can someone explain to me what Vtec is and what it does and how to 'hit vtec' etc?

Once and for all. And yes I'm bracing myself for bashing and hating and newbie calling. I just want to know.

I used to take my car in vtec everyday at every light and at every chance that i had! But thats way too much wear and tear on the motor, especially if i want the motor to last. Have any of you guys tried to keep it out of vtec for a whole day? TRY IT...its as bad as quitting smoking!!!

I have yet to go one day without hitting VTEC in the last year. I think quitting smoking would be way easier!

If you are driving a GSR...you're hitting VTEC at approx 4400 RPM! (That's when the secondary cam lobes start taking over.)
If you're talking about the definite change in sound around 5700-6000 RPM ....that's the Secondary Intake Runner opening up....not VTEC. So...in response to the initial question......I hit VTEC Alot!
