[*]Tiny specification for easy placement. Digital LCD.[*]Inbuilt RPM gauge for easy operation prior to setting. [*]Release the torque and horsepower in advance when the engine is in low RPM.[*]Working up the VTEC pontentiality.[*]Changeable ratio of hi-camshafts working; available in every +/- 100 rpm.[*]Size: 2.25" (L) x 2" (W) x .75" (H), baby VTEC controller easy to intall to almost anywhere. [*]No instructions included. Professional installation is highly recommended.

Better off buying my V-AFC2. Static setpoints are all fine and dandy, but engaging VTEC too low will cause bogging. Also, the major benefit of this type of system are the override triggers that this doesn't have. My Apexi unit has triggers for intake vacuum setpoint and throttle position. For example, I had it set to engage VTEC as soon as I hit 65% throttle.

$80+shipping FYI

You can adjust the VTEC engagement point, but without the additional programming or tunability, you are better off with the stock dynamic control of the VTEC system.
