Wouldn't make any sense. VTEC is not like a turbo or something. Itautomatically comeson at the optimal time. Depending on what gear you are in, it will alreadyengage as early as 2,200 rpms.

if by kinda of you mean completely

if you did hook up said switch you wouldnt see any increase in power and would probably see a decrease in gas mileage
