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?

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

no, that's fine

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

thanks

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

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?

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

dont go lower than factory set vtec point which i believe is 4400

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

I didn't install my rpm switch, so i wanted to know how to set it?

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

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

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

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

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

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

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

I'm 99.9% sure you can't. It's speed/rpm based so you can't hit it while under 6mph(I think). I got into a big arguement on another forum about this. The end result was "No, you cannot engage VTEC in neutral unless you are moving because VTEC is speed(VSS)based."

thats right, its also based on oil pressure, thats y there is a oil sensor right on the vtec solenoid. :P oh and the engine must be warmed up.

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

mmmmm maybe thats why whenever i use to hit vtec, my spedo whould bounch around sense they are togeather, i whould hit vtec and be getting on it , and my ------- speedo whould bounch up and down like a crack ----- that needed a dollar

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

I'm so glad I decided to get the chicken with my motor. ;D

Re:vtec ? for a d series

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

I was running my car pretty hard yesterday, and i almost choked my chicken

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

dam, how often do u guys play with your chicken?

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

When ever the squirel in a cage isnt running, i use the chicken

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

i have a y7/z6 mini with a comp 59300 .455 lift cam. I have my VTEC hooked up to a VAFC and a manual toggle so i can hit it whenever i want. i activate it at idle when the car is cold and it lopes like a big v8. sounds awesome.

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

R U F*N Serious??? that's gotta be the funniest/gayest ---- I've Heard all day HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

and for how long have u been doing this? do what you want to your car but that cant be good on your valve train.

Re:vtec ? for a d series
 

Thats isn't good for your car. If you ecu doesn't know that vtec is on then it could starve it for fuel. Pinging could happen and alot of other ----. I say don't do that anymore.
