why don't u buy the ecu for the vtec

u know

and well I am trying to figure this out for my instrument gauge like the seat belt indicator

if someone knows please IM me

since I don't want to confuse peeps

and well I believe u should have the light ground and just need the signal to power it

unless I am mistaken...

that is the why the solenid works right guys?

Erm, no, this is actually very, very bad. Not to mention that it shouldn't work at all, and I'm willing to bet you have worse performance now than before....

For instance, if you hit WOT at 2K rpm, you force the ECU to send a VTEC engagement signal ?!?! I don't know even if this can actually happen, and if it does, it will mean very, VERY poor performance

^^^ idiot.

you can manuall engage VTEC whenever you feel like it, provided the oil pressure is high enough. I have a comp 59300 cam in my z6 head and before i had the turbo, i had a toggle hooked to my VTEC solenoid. you could hit VTEC at idle and it loped. sounded pretty bad ***.

oh, and 175whp from a throttle body, ECU, and exhaust huh?

Yep, I'm an idiot because I'm supporting the crazy idea of the Honda mechanics to engage the secondary lobes above 5500rpm, since they discovered that doing so below that threshold actually worsens performance.

"you could hit VTEC at idle and it loped. sounded pretty bad ***"

Very clever comment

And yes, CTR Valvetrain, CTR TB, exhaust, intake, FPR, various tidbits and custom ECU have provided these gains. Why does it sound so strange to you ?
