what rpm does your vtec come on? i THINK mine is around 5500-6000
i wanna get a light that flashes when the vtec takes effect

civicnation

5500 for an sir, not sure about the d16y8 which i'm assuming is what you have in the car. not rying to crap on your thread, but what is the point in a vtec light? it notifies you that you hav eengaged vtec, but what do you get from that?

imported_Joker

a sense of 'i am cool' thats what you get ... how bout a function that shoots out winshelid washer fluid when u hit vtec also..

imported_ERTW

wire the vtec selenoid to your horn and 4-ways... just to warn the other motorists of the extra uncontrollable power

imported_climax

I like that lol..

imported_viper_2_4

it is useful, well not really......if you dind't have a light (on a y8 atleast) you know you engaged vtec

92extremehatch

mine kicks in at 4500rpm nice quick change

imported_vtec_boy

vtech lights are cool......lol

if you want something in ur cockpit to tell you your vtec is engaged, get a vtec controller...

if you are planing a swap later it will be useful

imported_Midnight-Bullet

whoa guy...relax...it just looks cool and is something cool to have, then at least you'll know your vtec is kicking in

d16z6....4500 or 5500
b16a....5300 or 5500
b17....5800
b18c1....4400
b18c5....5700

i have the vtec crossover on my b16 is set to 5500.

civicnation

wow, 4400 is surprising for the gsr.

The Vtec in a GSR is insanely loud. (at least in my limited experience) I hit Vtec for the 2nd time since owning my car tonight (b16). It wasn't as mean sounding as the GSR I drove, but still had some pickup. I have no idea if anyone would know but I think mine kicks in at 6000 or just under, it's been Skunk2 chipped with no rev limiter so I worry about taking it close to 7500.

imported_Midnight-Bullet

i wanna swap to a b16a2 but i hear you get problems when you swap motor...like starting and stuff, is that true?

imported_hdave

^ no problems at all if done properly

imported_fiercecivic

ive got my d15b set at 4500 kick in.

imported_Old_skool4g

vtec playes mind games tho, it likes to kick in when ever it wants sumtimes

^^^ya...hehe
But actually, in crome you can have a low load vtec cross over and a high load vtec cross over.
RajunCajun:
There are some jdm p30 ecus that have vtec set at 5700 or 5800rpms, but if your ecu is chipped the vtec can be set at any rpm. I used to have a mugen chip that had vtec set at 4800, which was way too low (for a b16). Now i'm running a custom made (by me using cromepro) chip with vtec set at 5500.

imported_doggy69247

on my d16y8 it kicked in at 3.5rpm and u ****ing knew it it was like the engin was kicked in the *** would rev up real fast and loud and tires with chirp if u were hammering on it i duno what was done 2 the motor it dident last 2 long tho

all u need is an LED and just run a wire from the green switch on your solanoid thats what i did wen i was haveing problems with my y5 just 2 see if the solanoid was being opened it wil be + then just ground the light under the dash

hey Matt...i'm sure you got the answer to your question so i'll just comment on something else. Go for the b16a2. i was talking to joe at altech and another friend of mine and if I swap i'll go from 102hp to about 189hp on jdm spec engine. (the jdm has a lil more juice then the usdm which is around 170hp and a bit.) anyway. it would be a complete swap including all parts needed but i found the price a bit steep.
have fun with whatever you decide and don't take other people's critism to heart.

P.s. that was some funny shat by joker and ertw though...ha-ha!

imported_vtec_boy

i know this...thats why i suggested it

i want to get a vtec controller, but i cant find a decent spot to mount it in my car with out it looking out of place

my interior is tan
