Default Activate vtec on P28 without speedo/VSS?

Does anybody know how the computer "reads" speed via the OBD1 p28 computer in regards to activating vtec?

Please do not suggest to use an RPM switch - from what I understand, that will only mechanically engage Vtec, but the computer won't change the fuel maps accordingly. I could be wrong here through.

In short, I want to be able to activate vtec in an application with no speedometer/electronic VSS and without throwing a CEL.

I know guys are already activating vtec by bypassing the pressure switch. Curious if there's a simple solution here that I don't know about for the speed aspect as well.

Please advise!

Yes, you can disable it in any tuning software. BUT why not fix the issue?

There's no easy way to "fix" the issue. The application (not a car) does not use a speedometer or a VSS. "fixing it" would be by giving it a speedometer/VSS isn't really an option and would be cost and mechanically prohibitive. Thanks guys.
