Default is there any thing wrong with the Vtec in a prelude???

IS THE TRUE AOBUT THE PRELUDE I FOUND THIS ON A VTEC CONTROLLER SITE TO SHE HOW IT WORKS!!!! VTEC controllers are useful if the engine has been modified, and the ECU switches cams too early/too late, and for certain engines where Honda has got the cam switch point wrong. The only example of this that I know is the VTEC prelude, which has a huge jump in the torque curve because the cams are switched too late. Rumour has it that Honda did this deliberately to get a good EPA gas mileage, but there definitely are benefits from getting the prelude to switch cams earlier.

I don't think he has a question. I think he's trying to be smart.

That's teh funnay!

As for your comment on VTEC kicking in sooner, it varies from car to car. Some cars benefit from VTEC engaging later rather than sooner.
