That's a dumb idea.

Read up on VTEC technology and you'll see why...

do not do this. honda has the VTEC set up the way it is for a reason. turning it on would defeat the purpose IMO.

Anyone who has a basic understanding of vtec can tell you changing the vtec crossover is a bad idea.

There is a reason VTEC engagement relies on oil pressure sensor input...

this is why people hate hondas and we get a bad name for being "ricers". someone find that guy and smack him in his mouth. VTEC only works when its used properly.
