Vtec mode
 
ok
so i have a 2010 honda civic si
and i have been considering flashing my vehical inwhich you all know that would change the vtec kickin
from 5800 to around 2200-3800 . so my question is , is it bad or a strain on my motor to always be in vtec mode
sence it will be kicking in sooner and more often ?

If you don't know what you are doing, talk to a tuner. Earlier Vtec does not mean more power.

lol i have talked to a tuner , just seeing what other people thought .
what would we do with out you trying to act like u know everything about hondas lol
too bad theres nothing posted on your honda except h22. i hope that weak honda isnt yours n the black and white picture bro save up some money and buy a style ..

Go ahead and turn it into a pissing match. I previously had a JRSC D16 with meth injection, which I tuned myself on Hondata S300. Also, I did give you advice, lowering your VTEC crossover will not necessarily mean more power. Have you research the topic at all?

Have you read my thread? There is/was much more than just a H22 swap. Also, "buy a style"? WTF does that mean?

Also, I have a 5 year child, so shame on me for not blowing every dime I have on the car. Jeez, being a responsible single father at 25 imgaine that. Thanks douche.

If you don't like what I have to say, even when I am providing your with information, then ignore it. Were we supposed to know that you talked to a tuner? What they say about this change?

Why on earth would you want to be in VTEC at such low rpms? I could see maybe around 4500 but 2200-3800....you'd be in VTEC all the time?

And on a side note why all the hostility towards cvc? It didn't sound to me like he was coming off like an arrogant prick. He's actually given me some pretty useful information.

OP, you mentioned that you are a mopar head turned Honda. How long have you been playing with Hondas? Me, 10+ years.

I had my vtec kick in at 3k when the throttle was in at least 50% when I had the JRSC installed. However, the results showing power increases were proven on a dyno.
