VTEC Controller

These are only like $45 on Ebay. I figure if I get one, i'd be able to "get up n go" earlier. I have a d16y8... does anyone know if it'd be a good idea to get one?

-Thanks

Re: VTEC Controller

That's why I wanted it... I wanted it to "kick in" sooner than it does now. Actually right now, I can't even find when it does. I thought one time it was like little over 6grand, but i let off then.

thanks

Re: VTEC Controller

having it "kick in" sooner than whats programmed in the ecu usually causes engine damage. let the ecu figure out when its supposed to work.
