I am pretty sure I want to get a vtec controller for my car but I'm not sure what brand or really what i should get. No experience with vtec here so any help would be great. And yes I did do a quick search and found nothing about brands just settings

Thanks,

Get a spoon Vtec coontroller!!!! Its really cool. My friend has it in his D16Z civic. it works only if you get a dyno to set it correctly. It kicks in at 3rd and burns like hell.

At 3rd.... gear?!? Or do you mean 3000rpm? Or what?
:wtf:

either way, that's pretty messed up. 3k is way too low for vtec to be kicking in.

i personally don't see a need for a controller. honda does a pretty good job of setting the changover point where it should be. unless you've done some major work to your engine, spend your money on something else first.

a vtec controller on a D16Z is kind of pointless

Can you stop spitting out what you hear; what personal experience do you have?

word :thumbup: I wouldn't mess with it either. Even with mods you won't gain more than a few horses after countless runs on a dyno. 4500 is the lowest I'd go on Vtec for a D16Z6. Aside from being a tad lean, Honda did a great job on P28s from the factory. Spend your money on something that will make a difference like a ZEX cam.

Don't go with a vtec controller. Ya you will get those few high end horses. But you loose all your low end and middle range power. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have new more aggressive cam ex. todo. I will most likely make you slower

i have a d16 that has: port polish shave head, intake manifold port and polished, angled valve grind, double shot peened rods, micropolished crank, block guard, aem fuel reg, and rail, crower camshft and aem gear, 4-1 header, pretty much built and oh a vtec controller is kind of pointless! vtec doesnt really pull that hard to adjust it sooner anyways:fawk: :joshers:

I have the Apex'i V-AFC on my car. I have my VTEC come in at 5,000RPM and go off at 4,000RPM. It actually helps a lot, but I do have a ZEX cam in my car, so the movement of the VTEC crossover and the ability to modify my fuel map for my cam is a big help.
