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?

 

no, that's fine

 

thanks

 

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?

 

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

 

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

 

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.
