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
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.

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.
