what is it and how does it work???

 

it controls when the VTEC kicks in... it could make it kick whenever u want.. it's a self-descriptive word... read plzzzz.. use the search feature!!!!

 

I heard it wasn't all that good for your car in the long run. I like the V-tec right where honda put it....

 

it allows you to change the vtec engagement point and make fuel corrections. useful when you have internals that allow the engine to breath better and tuned on a dyno.

 

The biggest problem is that people think if they lower the engagement point their car will be faster. That could not be farther from the truth. The vtec in point is set to optimize cam lobe timing. For instance if you lower your si from 5500 to say 4500 you will actually lose power between 45-5500 because the vtec cam lobe is not designed to work at the lower rpm. Leave it where it is unless you get a set of cams designed for it.

 

where can i get those and how much are they

 

those? the cams? what engine do you have?

 

a d16z6

 

SOHC = single over head cam. you wouldn't need "those".

 

my buddy did up a d16z6 with a cam......it pulls pretty good for what it is.....but im sure you heard this before don't get tied up in a sohc cuz later you'll realize you coulda bought a b or h motor with way more potenial then any sohc......trust me it happened to me and i got into a slump with building my car for about 1 1/2 years. when your ready move to the b or h ....take your time .....speed cost money how fast you want to go?
