How do i set up multiple vtec switches?
I am looking to set up multiple switches for when vtec engages. I want one switch to close all the windows in the car when vtec engages so i can get better aerodynamics. i want another switch to turn off the radio and a/c so that i can gain performance and put less drain on the engine. what would the best way to do this be? thanks.

ok... may get flamed soon... but lets try and keep it down guys.... and help out
anyways...
you would need to tap the wire... normally the positive.. and wire it to a switch from the positive wire from the radio.. the only issue would be... you would loose all of ur presets... the air conditioning could be done.. but i have seldomly put together an a/c switch... but it would probly involve a crossover or solenoid switch or trigger....
the wiindow switch could be done by tapping the termials of all 4 or 2 windows and wiring them together into one switch..
the switches would b of your choice.... and im sure others will voice their opinion

I'm honestly still trying to figure out if this is a joke
I mean VTEC in a d17 ok so I guess it helps some but if you are truly going to be racing then you would already have the windows up and the air off, thats just smart driving why do you need a switch The vtec engaging as often as it does this setup would not be good for the constant on and off to your a/c.
Foos with your turbo setup what you should do is have a little light go on when the vtec engages that says "Buckle Up-Boost/VTEC In Progress."

teaching bad examples to the noobs! 
Sit in car:
1. to the left you will switches on the door panel. pull up on them to raise your windows.
2. In your bezel next to your stereo, there are 3 ***** that rotate, please turn the last **** down, counter clockwise (to the left)
3. Find button on your stereo that has the
symbol next to it. press it
all done!
