vtec's FINALLY hooked up (temporarirly ghetto rigged), one last question though

[HondaCivic4358]

ok so i figured its been over a year that ive had my z6 in with NO vtec, i have never felt what vtec was like, ans still havent, hopefully in about 20 minutes though. my question is, i used a toggle switch (for now) trust me this is NOT gonna be forever. i want to test it out. bad. really bad. if i just use it once in a while, it wont hurt will it? and, how should i operate it, what gear, and what rpm? once i get to a certain rpm, and shift, do i jst leave it on until im done racing, or turn it off until the next gear, then turn it back on at teh desired rpm....sounds lieka pain in teh ass if its done liek that, or would i just leave it on till im done racing? please help soon, its about to rain here and a wanna take her out for a spin before it rains.

Flip it on around 5000 and leave it there till your done.

vtec isnt gonna whip ur head back or nething lol this aint fast n furious brotha. when u throw it on the engine will sound uh lil throatier and u will feel a mild increase of power.. u got it all ghetto rigged? when u turn it on do u hear a relay click? if not u didnt hook it up right!

yeah it clicks...its hooked up right, im just i little scared to test it out...i dont wanna screw up my solenoid, but every ONCE in a while wont hurt right?

just pickup a RPM switch. cheap and effective

[HondaCivic4358]

thats what ill probably do, but will it be ok though just to try it on the toggleswitch?

[bambam89lx]

get a vafc. or convert to obd1.
do it RIGHT.

ok i went out and tried it out.....several times....pretty damn good increase i remember when the vtec wasnt hooked up, it'd rev slow past about 4800 rpms, now when i hit the vtec, the bitch just took off . this was just a test. i am going to disconnect this Gh3++0 azz nigger rigged toggleswitch, and buy an rpm switch, for teh moment until i can get enough money for a vafc. i was very happy with vtec, now i remember why i love hondas

I'm hoping you're not white and saying that, or you should be shot on the spot.

Well I personally know ALOT of black folk, and have NEVER heard anyone of them say it with 'er' instead of 'a'...

That's part of the reason I made my comment. But I'll keep further comments to myself until/if I see what's true.

well dude thats awesome that ur satisfied with the outcome! me i had my vtec off for awhile and and then when i had it all setup my clutch started slipping and i couldnt tell anyways. got clutch replaced and car tuned and timing adjusted and really didnt know wtf was going on neways but hey just get urself a vafc and you will be happy with ur purchase. and if ur child-like like me u will love all the pretty lights at night and the throttle percentage meters and the built in tach and all the cool lil bells n whistles. take it ez man and let us know about wins under ur belt.. especially the slow heavy auto non turb porsche

what? 944s don't weigh much more than 4th gens...

Anyway, you should've gotten an rpm activated switch at least, but just turn it on at 5k like they said and leave it on until your done.

I don't know what the deal is with sohc vtec anyway. Is it really that much more power in vtec? I have a cam in my a6 and my engine revs out from a smooth 1200 rpm to 7200 rpm but I don't make power really until 4-5k rpms, when I hit 5k rpms I'm pulling slower to redline in the higher gears anyway. With the Si tranny I can redline the lower gears pretty quick. I guess vtec is about the same thing...

ok, now i have a friend that wants to race me in a 97 eclipse non turbo. all he has done to it is a muffler, no custom piping. i should be able to take that one home, i think those only have 140 hp, plus theyre are heavier than crx's. with the vtec, i/h/e, i should be pushing close to 140, im guessing. who do u guys take on this one? btw, this will probably take place a week from today
