Hey everyone,

This year I'm building a new engine harness from scratch *Again to make it look even cleaner then before. I noticed I have the ability to disable another sensor VtecPressure. Is there any disadvantage to doing this?

I had low oil once and I got a cel for VTP error and noticed I had low oil, that was a STUPID issue on my part, but that's about all I can think you need it for.

I want the least amount of wires possible to make the engine run but still be functional, that's the goal and with VtecPressure gone its one less.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks,

There is no performance gain by running a vtec pressure switch.

 

Thanks,
I wasn't concerned about performance.

Wait you are telling me disabling that switch doesn't give me more HP?

Just for my own knowledge, what does that switch even do for you then if it's not needed?

 

the switch just makes sure there is enough engine oil pressure before vtec is activated. they actually removed it for jdm obd2 motors.

 

Good to know. I one less connector ill have to sleeve and wire up.

 

The disadvantage comes when your oil pressure is low. That's a rare situation, but having it has saved an engine from damage on the dyno before.

 

Thank you,

I noticed I had a CEL onetime due to low oil. I can see how this would be a good thing.
