radiocontrolhead · 06-26-2008, 03:43 PM

Isn't it integrated w/ the ECU?

poorguy · 06-26-2008, 03:47 PM

Dont know. But i think i have found the answer thanks

The ECU controls the engagement point of the high cam profile. If you want to modify this you need a reflash or a programmable chip.

What do you want out of your car exactly? VTEC in lower rpm's?

Apexi makes a VTEC controller that works with i-VTEC engines. You can't adjust the variable cam timing, but you can lower VTEC engagement with it.

Just want to lower the Vtec engage ( which option should i go ). I also check out Apexi-usa currently there NO vtec controll compatiable for i-vtec.

Seems that the best way to lower i-VTEC engagement would be the Hondata Reflash. You some combination of I/H/E for it to work though or you will lose power. Do a quick search on here and you'll find plenty of information on it.

V-Manage

The V-Manage, Variable Valve Timing Controller was designed by GReddy engineers to take advantage of some of the modern technology OE Manufactures* are now commonly incorporating into their latest engines. Based on the intuitive controls, datalogging and Maps of the e-manage Ultimate software, a tuner with a laptop computer, can now alter the factory’s ECU control of valve-timing at any RPM and load to optimize power output and fuel economy. However by purchasing GReddy's application specific V-manage Kits, you can simply "plug & play." V-manage Kits, include the V-manage, CD software, Plug-in Harness with adapter, and Pre-programmed MAP to optimise cam timing for increase horsepower, toque, and boost response.
