vtec ? for a d series
 
I got the msd rpm switch and my vtec kicks in @ 5000rpm, but i wanted to set it @ 4500rpms. Would any damage happen to my engine?

So it doesn't matter what rpm i set the switch too does it? For ex. if i set it to 3500 rpm it'll be okay?

i wouldnt go lower than 4500rpms, you need to have a sufficient amount of oil pressure built up in order for vtec to work properly. using those rpms switches allows a person to activate vtec even in nuetral and thats bad for the valve train. so 4500rpms and make sure your car is under load. :P

Yeah, no "VTECing" in neutral.

Plus it gains you nothing. From what I have seen, you lose power by setting VTEC that low.

We should start a new "lingo" for vtec so all the noobs and ricers out there start using it
we will call vtec= "The chicken"
Used in a snetance.
Then my "Chicken kicked in, and i was gone, i hit about 90mph , alot faster sense i put the "chicken" in my car
haha

you can hit vtec in neutral in cars that came with vtec cant you?...i would think you would have plenty of oil pressure anyway
