Re: Vtec controller
For that amount of money, you can get the ECU chipped and get tuned or have someone modify the VTEC crossover RPM on a stock program. That way the ECU will switch maps when it engages VTEC, which the VTEC controller isn't capable of doing. I don't like VTEC controllers or other piggybacks, fooling the ECU is never a good idea. Do it right or don't do it at all is my opinion.

Re: Vtec controller
Apologies to OP for thread jack but could this potentially cause VTEC to not engage properly? I seem to be having a problem with that recently and I think my VTEC controller may be the culprit.

Re: Vtec controller
I used to have the Apexi' Neo in my itr hatch, and it made it run rough, like it was camming. And the weirdest thing was that vtec engaged at different points every gear...1st gear it was like 5000 rpm, 2nd was like 4500 rpm, 3rd was like 6000 rpm.
Then i took the stupid thing out and it ran fine for a few months...until it dropped a valve!
