    Doesn't do anything except increase the bling factor. For a VTEC controller to have any gains, it would have to be used together with tuning. Something like the VAFC would be better and still let you change your VTEC point.

    no point using them. Honda have put heaps of r+d into where the vtec engangment should be. It is set at the x amount of revs because that is where it is most utilised and maximum performance output. I think on a stock car you can acually loose power correct me if im wrong!

    Second that, on a stock vtec motor, you will MORE than likely LOOSE power no matter where you set it.
    Ur vtec will not engage as "agressively" (loosely used on a SOHC) if you set it to a lower RPM and it will be too late if you set it to a higher RPM.

    Definately not something you should F around with on a stock engine!

    don't think its that low for SOHC VTEC, it should be around 4000ish.
    I think its about 1000 RPM lower than DOHC VTEC (TYPE R is an exception).

    This is not true...the VTEC engagement in D16Y SOHC VTEC engine is still around 5500-5600 rpm...

    i have a D16Y1 (SOHC VTEC) engine with very mild mods (I/H/E), and uses VAFC (tuned) to have better air/fuel ratio...

    >.< my F22B vtec kicks on at 3200 somewhere arround there... stock with VAFC un tune (ie. by looking at the light ) .. well flat footed though...

    I did Hooked up with VAFC2 few years back, pretty nice gadgets increase 15ish hp on wheels from tune with I/H/E mods.

    but now run different set up .. and letting the vtec engagement to be stock for turbo .. =.=
    Sums up, well i guess different engine has different vtec kick in style

    lol, i VERY much dought it

    stock for stock, the d17 will more than definetley give the d16 SOHC a run and a half

    and no, im not getting an engine conversion for 2 reasons syd, which i think u already know

    1. i dont plan on modding the engine AT ALL, coz i think thers no point

    2. the only engine conversion that is available to me is a k20 or k24 transplant and that will cost MUCH MUCH more than a b16 into an eg
