vtec shift light?
 
can u use one of those proform shift lights to activate vtec? is so how, just by spliceing into the light wire?

Re:vtec shift light?
 
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 ^^^)

naw im staying obd0 i dont wanna mess with all that sensor ----, im just going to buy a msd switch but was wondering if i could just use a shift light.

Re:vtec shift light?
 
you could, but you are better off with a vafc, that way you can correct for fuel in v-tec

if you wanna ghetto rig it i think a rpm switch would be cheaper then a shift light

summit sells those dial shift lights now for like $30 they are pieces of ---- though, my proform one only works when it wants to.

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

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

im using turboedit for editing, would think i'd benifit from a vafc. is that just likea 1 wire vtec or something?

I don't understand what you're trying to do? Just by a bright as LED for 50 cents and hook it up to the vtec wire (green wire with a yellow stripe) and drill a small hole on the top of your steering column. It's nice because my entire gauge cluster turns a pretty blue when i hit VTEC and people look at you like what the hell is that?

I didn't know you were using TE, in that case, yeah, just get yourself a msd switch and call it a day.

haha, breaker, he's trying to turn on vtec, not turn on a light. I think I'm going to start making rpm switches and selling them to you guys, I'll let you know when I have some made.

ive had my summit rpm switch over a year now and i havent had problems. dont hate, congratulate nukka. and it beats having to buy pills everytime you want to change your activation point. and their actually 54 shipped.

Re:vtec shift light?
 
you don't have to buy pills if you figure out the resistance for the rpm you want. just hook up a 10k ohm potentiometer and turn the knob till you get the rpm you want.

1 calorie is the amount of energy need to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by one degree celcius.

awe ---- you said useful, not smart.

don't zip your weiner in your pants, it will hurt. if you're zippin you're weiner in your pants you're not wearing underwear and you need to go ahead and get some underwear on.
