Is it possible to just have a button and connect the positive through it and then to the vtec solenoid. Push it whenever you want vtec to kick in? Serves the same purpose as a $300 vtec controller right?

And another thing, has anyone else done that little vtec activation LED thing?

...please tell me you're not serious.

if you dont have the money for a nice vtec controller, just get a msd rpm activation unit. its cheap and it works.

AgentMurdoc

possible, yes. recommended? not by me. If that's what you wanna do, do it I guess. I say get the rpm activator like above. Or you could always do the shift lite 'mod'

way ghetto. get a rpm switch at the least

The thing is you gotta remap your ECU or run some sort of a hack to tweak the mixture to make a real benefit from engaging early.

go read what VTEC is all about before trying to attempt to activate VTEC manually. I hope you know what it means to be in the VTEC mode and what purpose it serves.

You can do it the solenoid is tripped by a 12 volt power source. Just get a gay "NOSSS" button and use that hooked up to a switched 12 volt source. Or if you want you can just be totally ghetto you can get two wires and manually connect the VTECCHHHH. Get a p28 ecu if you dont want to spend money on a vtec controller : P

Think about this...

Why would Honda put all that money in to R&D over the past 10+ years if you could just use a switch and decide when you want it to turn on? Hmmm... millions of dollars or a 5 cent switch?

I know it sounds absurd, but there is, in fact, a reason for their madness. I echo the post above me and say you should put some effort into researching this before you over-rule millions of dollars in R&D.
