VTEC in reverse?

[infurNOS]

I have been told many things about hitting VTEC in reverse, most of them say it is disabled once in reverse, but USDM versions seem to have no problem doing it:

whats the truth behind it all? unless the USDMs ECU's are different or VTEC does really engage in reverse

Adjusting damper on stock shocks and now this.

you can hit VTEC in any gear forward or revers

only factor is you have to go faster than 30Km/h or it will not kick in

the PGMFI ECU does not know what gear your car is in on MT

Plus you need to be doing at least more than the RPM that vtec is set to kick in at......... I dont know where the revs normally are in reverse because im usually looking behind me lol

You have to be nuts though to want to reverse with vtec haha

Exactly, what is the point of this question? Just a hunch but I think Tai is trying to say this thread is pointless.
