the dude i bought my engine told me that if i didn't want the hassle of getting a vtec wire harness i could use my Dx wire harness and just hook up the vtec to my high beams. is this true? and how would i go about doing it?

 

i dont think that would work but im not positive.

 

What kind of a swap is it? B16, GSR.....

 

Can you? Yes
Is it stupid? Yes

 

Why you would ever wire your vtec to your hi-beams is beyond me. Is that like an economy V-AFC? Maybe you could do a little more work and run a few wires and pin them to your ECu instead. A17 I believe

Whatever floats your boat or blows your wistle. It's your car...Your money, your choices.

 

HAHA stupid idea wire the ****** car the correct way and you wont have any problems..

 

seriously why

 

omg, i learn something everyday.

 

hmm....thanx for telling me what not to do.

 

...On a backroad in the dark looking for a house, high beams on and in VTEC at 20mph

 

...DUDE IM LOSING! BETTER HIT THE HIGHBEAMS!

The ECU is like another 4-5 ft away...and easier to wire into.

hahaha

 

This post is going to ruin alot of motors.

 

cant u just use the stock wireing harness but just get a vtec controller?

 

if someone's dumb enough to do it, they deserve it

 

See, I thought they meant wiring it the other way. Not using the high beams to switch cam profiles, but to use the high beams as an indicator light.

And I was thinking it might be neat, but it would be almost as stupid because you'd be flashing cops every time you switched.

 

my fogg lights turn on when vtec hits in at 57 rpms.... now thas hot

 

why dont you hook it to the horn, that way you can just blow by them!!! ha!

Get the ecu, I dont think you know enough about the vehicles to mess with a vafc and the fuel to install and tune it. Honestly, If you cant afford 300 for the ecu I dont think you will spend 300 on a vafc and another 200 to 300 on dyno runs while tuning it.

It would technically be possible to run it off any 12 volt switch on you vehicle.

 

so what...when vtec engages, BAM the high beams go on.

"dude whyd he turn his high beams on"
"cuz he be in vtec yO"

errr, but from what im getting, dont wire them into highbeams. Do the correct install. I believe using a 96-97 EX harness will help right? Cause you don't have to repin anything...I THINK...

it possible but i would wire up a switch inside the car, i had to do that in a cx hatch with a gsr swap, i works but it kind of lags if you hit it too early .

 

Wire to the Flashers. When you hit vtec you win anyway

 

this is 2 funny

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I think if you were to wire the VTEC solenoid to your headlights, parking lights, tallights, reverse lights, horn, dash gauges, under car neons, and light up washer nozzles you would be the mad VTEC'n Mac Daddy! But make fo shizzo that yo gots tha mad flava like da indeeglow Monsta tach, monsta temp and fuel, monsta speedo and all dat shizzit. Don't want no peeps outdoin' ya ***!

I love topics like this it allows me to use such witty pics like this:

 

want a more productive wiring solution...

Hate your momo or aftermarket steering wheel horn honking everytime you make a sharp turn?
Tired of squirting people who pass by you with your side mounted windshield sprayers?

Hook up the **** for the windshield sprayers to your horn. It's a fun waste of time, I promise.
