I personally wouldn't adjust Adjust V-tec unless boosting.

Alot of ppl say there not very good.....i say they are good for the money so long as you dont have some awsome fully built motor.
If you havent done too many mods and just want a cheaper way of setting it up, a vtec controller is a easy piece of equipment to use. If you get your ecu re-mapped to your current set up then you can really fine tune your motor with it. Ive just installed one in my motor, despite of what loads of ppl said and i'm well happy with mine. I had a few flatspots and it really helped to smooth them out plus i was able to drop the vtec point alittle to 5300rpm.

Basically, if your looking for serious power and going a long way with your honda, get a stand alone unit.
If your just doing I/H/E and IM etc maybe some basic cams, then they can really help to smooth flatspots and tune the AFR.

A: its VTEC there is no dash
B: what is your basis for adding this to the thread


anyhow...I will elaborate on my previous "no"

VTEC controllers are pointless. by the time you build the motor enough to need to adjust the VTEC engagement point than you are past the point of needing one because your tuner will set the crossover via Dyno tuning with your stand alone.....the only time I could think of would be if you changed your cams and they had a different point at which they made power.....VTEC controllers offer no gains to stock motors, Honda put them where they are at for a reason.

i have the apexi vtec controller, set to stock crossover point, no fuel settings. its really point-less since everything on my car is stock except for intake and exhuast. only time i see it would benefit is with different cams, but even then i would just save the money and get a stand-alone ecu
