why would you wanna do that? the ecu controls vtec so much better by adjusting the fuel and spark curves

yea could, splice the light wire to a relay and use the relay to turn on the vtec.

you can, but you're better off with a v-tec ecu or a V-afc (is what they are trying to say ^^^)

you could, but you are better off with a vafc, that way you can correct for fuel in v-tec

I'll trade the proform light for a rpm switch if you really want the light function with it

hook it up to ur shift light then when v-tec hits it'll lean out cuz it doesn't have the ecu to add xtra spark n fuel during vtec. almost like a timebomb.. the vtec is the ticking noise u hear before BOOM! lol jk but i dont think it would be as effecient as vafc or a vtec ecu
