Unusual/Impossible? Can I lower VTEC engagement?

[AutobahnRacer]

does anyone know how/if you can put the VTEC engadement on a switch? meaning when you flick it it goes on or off. i already can set it ot pop on at whatever RPM i want but i want to know if this is possible thanks

Get a Vtec controller and set the engagement rpm higher than you can rev.

[AutobahnRacer]

u did not at all read or answer my question. i have a VTEC controller. im asking if there is a on-demand if you want to call it VTEC setup. so that wehn i flip a switch the vtec engages

[CHAOS]

what would be the point of this?

[gary]

He wants to use the vtec as nitrous. I am not a vtec expert but I am going to put a large wager on no.

[Nors]

No point in it.

[evomike]

i think it is jun that makes cams that make it be in vtech constantly, but what you wanna do would be dumb

[dubjinc]

you could do it. take your vtec controller, splice an on off switch on to the power wire for the controller, and set the controller to the lowest engagment point, that way you can turn the controller on while past the engagemnet point thus engaging vtec on demand. I'm pretty sure some variation of that technique will work for what you want. You can get switches at pep boys. let me know if it works, if not put the wires back together and no harm. lemme know if it works

You talking about "vtec killer cams" They are not street friendly and struggle to idle below 1500 rpm (maybe even as high as 2000rpm)

i wouldnt want to cut anything on my controler casue its a Neo and they are expensive so i think ill hold off for now if thats the only way.

[dubjinc]

You cut, strip, and you can always wire nut it right back, you can't go wrong unless you cut too close to the module. but no big, whats the purpose anyway?

[Metalhedd]

yeah i dont really see the point in doing it. it's really not worth all the trouble of wiring a bunch of crap. v-tec already kicks in when you need it via safc neo.

[ThePrimerSuspect]

cut the vtec wire to the pcm and splice a switch in. set your vtec controller to the lowest setting. theres no point in this though.

[evomike]

yeah teh vtec killer cams i was gonna run them in my s2000 when i was gonna do a full jun motor but then i traded it in

[240sxDann]

mike you just wanna do this so you can flip your vtec switch on when I'm smokin you! LMFAO!

[highmilehatch]

This makes no sense. Defeats the whole purpose of having an engine with Vtec.

[redwrxwagon02]

buy a pep boys steering wheel with buttons on it and wire the vtech switch to the steering wheel then label the button vtec then you will truly be "hitting" vtec

yeah this thread makes me sad, and I am not even a honda guy.

VTEC isnt a power booster, it may do that as a result of its function, but its not that simple. VTEC allows (if my memory from old SCC articles is right) a third cam lobe to be engaged at a high RPM to optimize the massive amount of air that is available at that high RPM. Using this lobe at a lower RPM will not give you more power.

This is the same way the long/short runners on the Spec-V's work. At low RPM the short runners are used because at that RPM, that is what works best. At high RPM, the long runners in the manifold are used to optimize top end power.

Cliffnotes: lowering vtec is like humping a wall.
