V-tec Controller (buddy club V-CON)

[VTiR.LUDA]

Feedback guys ?

Without knowing much about it .. I'm looking into installing
a Buddy Club V-CON V-tec controller.

Anything anyone can say about these types of devices

good/bad/experience etc.

Would help heaps.

Thanks.

what have you done engine wise?
why do you want to adjust the vtec engagement point?

these devices are only of any use to someone who has modified he engine in a way that requires the vtec point to be altered to gain max power.
and even then, the amount of work done to the engine to require this will result in alot more than just a vtec controller being needed.
you will need atleast a vafc/neo...or more likely a standalone unit like a hondata.

standalone vtec control units are about as useful as nipples on a man.
dont waste your time.


sorry if it sounds harsh...but i hate seeing people waste their money on something that they think will do something when infact it doesnt.

Manibir's on the money.

The thing is that all the BC unit does is shift the high cam engagement point, it doesn't bring the high cam fuel/ignition maps with it. So while it may be a pretty sexy noise when the high cam kicks in at 3000rpm, you'll be slower than standard.

Yeah this will only alter the vtec engagement point. there really ain't much advantage of having vtec kickin in earlier unless you've done some major engine work which requires the necessary shifting of the engagement point to make use of the gains. this is where a vafcII would come in handy but if you wanna go all out, just go with hondata.

i pretty much said what manabir and brash said LOL.
