cracking the solenoid?
i know dat if u crack the solenoid it will hit hard and make vtec louder..my question is this..how would i crak the solenoid..wut would i need to do to make it hit hard and make it louder..any advice..
thank you..
thank you..

Re: (OMGWTFBBQ!)
You Stand in a bucket of water and grab a wrench and touch the + and - Terminals on your battery and have your buddy in the car rev up passed 5k so u can hear it and feel how strong it is 
now if u happen to get a shock I'm not responsible for that lol

1. Order a JDM hammer like kaiba said
2. Find your Vtec solenoid on your valve cover
3. (Now you have to be very precise, or you could ruin the solenoid.) Line the hammer up with the diagonal line on the N on your valve cover
4. Pull the hammer back
5. Hit yourself in the face with it as hard as you can
6. Repeat step 5 as needed
7. ?
8. Profit.

Btw, you can buy your jdm hammers at http://www.jdmtools.com
Also rumors that your local AutoZone or Kragen carriers them too.

VTEC doesn't crack... there is nothing you can do to the solenoid to make it "VTEC harder" because its just not possible.
Do you know what VTEC is, or how it works at all?

YOU CANT CHANGE HOW VTEC KICKS IN.
this has to be a joke. do some reading.

The VTEC system in Honda engines allows the engine to have multiple camshafts.
It turns out that there is significant relationship between the way the lobes are
ground on the camshaft and the way the engine performs in different rpm(rotations per minute) ranges. To understand why this is the case, imagine that we are running an engine extremely slowly -- at just 10 or 20 rpm, so it takes the piston seconds to complete a cycle. It would be impossible to actually run a normal engine this slowly, but imagine that we could. We would want to grind the camshaft so that, just as the piston starts moving downward in the intake stroke, the intake valve would open. The intake valve would close right as the piston bottoms out. Then the exhaust valve would open right as the piston bottoms out at the end of the combustion stroke and would close as the piston completes the exhaust stroke. That would work great for the engine as long as it ran at this very slow speed.
When you increase the rpm, however, this configuration for the camshaft does not work well. If the engine is running at 4,000 rpm, the valves are opening and closing 2,000 times every minute, or thirty to fourty times every second. When the intake valve opens right at the top of the intake stroke, it turns out that the piston has a lot of trouble getting the air moving into the cylinder in the short time available (a fraction of a second). Therefore, at higher rpm ranges you want the intake valve to open prior to the intake stroke -- actually back in the exhaust stroke -- so that by the time the piston starts moving downward in the intake stroke, the valve is open and air moves freely into the cylinder during the entire intake stroke. This is something of a simplification, but you get the idea. For maximum engine performance at low engine speeds, the valves need to open and close differently than they do at higher engine speeds. If you put in a good low-speed camshaft, it hurts the engine's performance at high speeds, and if you put in a good high-speed camshaft it hurts the engine's performance at low speeds (and in extreme cases can make it very hard to start the engine!).
VTEC (which stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) is an electronic and mechanical system in some Honda engines that allows the engine to effectively have multiple camshafts. As the engine moves into different rpm ranges, the engine's computer can activate alternate lobes on the camshaft and change the cam's timing. In this way, the engine gets the best features of low-speed and high-speed camshafts in the same engine. Several of the links below go into the actual mechanics of the VTEC system if you are interested.
Several engine manufacturers are experimenting with systems that would allow infinite variability in valve timing. For example, imagine that each valve had a solenoid on it that could open and close the valve under computer control rather than relying on a camshaft. With this type of system, you would get maximum engine performance at every rpm range. Something to look forward to in the future...
