Okay. Im gonna make this really simple to understand. When I hooked this up. I didn't use the little how to's every1 posts everywhere. Instead common sense was used so that it could not be hooked up wrong. It's called when ur vtec solenoid is activated it reads 12V across the solenoid. As opposed to not being activated and reads practically nothing. Now his light is hooked up in parrallel with the Vtec solenoid. So when the solenoid reads 12v. (VTEC active) it makes the light go on.

So in closing to all the whining and opinions being thrown around. I'll just leave it at that.

By the way. This is the guy who hooked up Binner's Light.

OMG.. This is by far the funniest thread in the world...

First of all, all of those posts that you posted says nothing about when VTEC engages..

Read this, maybe itll shed some light on this whole topic. (I can hope cant I.)

I dunno how else I can lay this forth to you. So I'll put it in 2 seperate scenarios.

A. There is something wrong with his car which I don't see possible since it only has 16,000 miles on it. But It can happen.

or..

B. This isn't a general statement for ALL vtec engagement regardless of motor type. This is when his supposedly kix in. I didn't make the rules. I didn't put voodoo on his vtec light from radio shack. I hooked it up...light came on early as fawk....It struck me as odd....and that was that.

Ask binner yourself on here. He'll tell you that I thought the same thing u all did. that it kicked in on high rpms. Me ad him both were a lil dumbfounded at the lights happiness at 2500 rpms. You wanna question it some more. Then take ur ass here to jersey and go for a testdrive with him. Till then. I don't personally care what any of you think. Im not incompetant to the point that I can't see a light go on.

(tarpit - you might wanna take that pic and edit it so no one can F*ck you over from your license plate #)

01-25-2003, 03:28 PM

Im too lazy to. Plus there are pix of my car all over the net with the plate unchanged for years now. Im ot sweatin it. Thanx for the concern though.

*Addict* · 01-25-2003, 09:55 PM

Tarpit,
There has to be something wrong with the way its hooked up. Engaging at 2500 RPMs just doesn't make sense.

sohc_vtec 2NR · 01-25-2003, 10:09 PM

vtec may kick in at 2500...but it may not the "vtec" we all know and familiar with...i'm not takin' sides here, but isn't it true that the 7th gen civic have "3" vtec mode...??? i'm too lazy to do research on it right now...if somebody knows tell us now..cuz this thread is gettin' crazy...

Actually that is/was on the D15B motors.

Here's a good article on VTEC. http://asia.vtec.net/spfeature/vtecimpl/vtec1.html
Its not to prove either side's point, but its good reading nonetheless.

$1000 your crx vs. his, slicks on slicks, but i drive the car.... We really should have some friendly south jersey racing, you know maybe for like a few hundred bucks. That's if your escort can handle it......

01-26-2003, 08:47 PM

It really wouldn't be worth it. First disadvantage to me is I have a Auto. So that kills the point there. I have raced a couple si's. Lost to 1 out of 3. Im only pulling a best of 16.4. But that was last year. I've done some more since then. But it still isn't fast. Im down for friendly races but Im not much of a gambler. Plus on top of all of that...He's spraying. So unless we raced N/A it wouldn't even be worth it.

And all I can say to this is. Some1 with a 2001 Civic EX 4 door with an automatic. Go hook one up and give it a go. Im not a honda owner and only know binner as some1 who owns this car that would let me test.

01-26-2003, 10:32 PM

01-27-2003, 03:12 PM

Nah. As I said before I don't race for money. I really don't even like street racing. Especially with my driving record and what I pay for insurance (22 points, $6,000 a year). But a regular friendly race Im down with. And cause you say u drive an all motor car doesn't mean ur slow. But I'd race ya anyway for shits n giggles.

01-27-2003, 04:48 PM

its locked up, ur empty eyes is my screen name. tell me where you're from and we'll get a spot.

how is it heating up lol? these are "friendly" races

sohc_vtec 2NR · 01-27-2003, 06:40 PM

oh is that what they call it now a days? "friendly..ey?"...and don't forget to film it...i just enjoy watchin' some "friendly" racer..hehe

01-27-2003, 06:45 PM

No. There are other advantages. Such as there has never been recorded as far as I know a engine swap with a ZX2. Whereas with Honda you's can do an engine swap to at least 3 diff motors if the engine space allowed. In otherwords Im saying it's a lot cheaper for you's. PLus there's only 1 available turbo kit for our car made by Gude which is designed like shit. Plus there are only 2 available head packages available for my car and it isn't really even worth the money for the power. Plius there are other minor things such as the comparison of hwo many quality intakes for mine verse Honda. My car only has about 3 that are in production. 2 full exhaust systems. Plus a very limited supply on other minor things. Just now we are starting to get more bodykit support but that is because we pretty much begged for it since there were only 2 available up until 2001. And the car was first produced in 98. Plus we don't get any support from Ford themselves since we are the bastardchild as compared to their egg on wheels the Focus and the Focus SVT.

Oh. And I'll bring a vid cam to if I can get ahold f my friends digital 1.

01-27-2003, 06:48 PM

it has to be after this weekend we are welding the cage in..

01-27-2003, 06:50 PM

Not a problem. Im in no rush to kill my 3rd trans. By the way. The vid for that animation in your sig is a trip.

get a manual conversion this time

01-27-2003, 07:06 PM

I would..But I would no longer be under warranty plus I would have to do a lot more then just change the trans. Such as the ECU, wiring harness, Motor and tranny mounts, plus install a clutch pedal and there are other minor things involved. It would be cheaper for me to trade my current car in for a manual. And I don't feel like parting with it yet. I can actually get my trans rebuilt by Level10 in NJ so it can handle hp and burnouts. But that'll cost me a grand total of about 4 grand for the job to be complete including labor.
