Ahh...ok, still dunno how your gunna do that though. You'll probably need to find out how the ecu kicks vtec in. Take your ecu you and find out which pins controls what and work from there. Something like that I would guess....

Just an FYI, making VTEC engage too early can be harmful to the motor.

it is possible... one of my friends swapped a d16 in his EG sedan. it was originally a DX so he didnt have anything to control the VTEC and he was short on cash so he and some of his other friends connected it to a switch, then connected the switch the the throttle body and adjusted the switch so it engaged at 4k RPM. pretty clever, and resourceful if you think about it.

People do that because they don't wanna buy a EX ecu. Getto fix if you ask me, way to take your hanle off the wheel for that.
