I was just wondering.
What is a Vtec Controller?
What is it for?
What does it do?
Does it help with anything?

dude you got me lol im sure sum of our other squad members will be able to help u out

A VTEC controller helps you tune your car by adjusting your VTEC engagement and disengagement point to give you a smooth powerband. I'd recommend having your car professionally tuned if/when you get it installed, it'll make a world of difference.

Enough said right there.

Well all but the world of difference....Sure fully tuning your car will make a world of difference. This thing however is one of the WAY OLD SCHOOL legendary tid bits that introduced the Honda community to the world of tuning. I had this exact one at one point in time. Even with a basic tune with it, it really didn't do too much.

What other kind of mods to you have that would benefit a VTEC controller? If you haven't cracked up the head I would think it would be a waste of your money.

Honda dumped a lot of money into researching the optimal VTEC engagement is. Keep it where it is. I would pass on the controller.

will it work on obd2?
or will i have to do a obd2 to obd1 conversion
and get a p28 ecu to get tuned.

thanks for looking up the information for me.

basic bolt ons I/H/E
nothing special.
vtec kicks at like 5600 rpm
(how i know? because i hear it and i also installed a vtec kick light haha)
is that normal for obd2 ej8.

If I remember correctly, it only works w/ obd1. I never paid attention because I was already converted to obd1.

With your modifications, the controller will help really minimally. As Jeremy said, the stock engagement point is pretty much ideal (even w/ your bolt-ons) You would see much more of a difference if you had more aggressive cams, valvetrain, higher or lower compression...however, it's still not the biggest gain.

If you're serious about getting a tuning tool, just save your money, convert to obd1 and have your computer chipped & tuned by a pro. This will net you WAY more power and your car will just generally feel like a different car as far as performance goes. The little vtec controller is pretty much useless.
