i am going to be installing a Zex kit on my S2, but heres my issue a buddy of mine installed a kit on his and some how messed with the VTEC. He didn't get into detail about it but, he said it needed to be bypassed. Can anyone tell me what this might have been? thank you in advance

 

Bypass vtec? Unplug the solenoid

I'm stepping outside of my realm of knowledge since we're talking about Zex, but I'd be seriously surprised if you were supposed to stop VTEC engagement altogether.

Good luck with the install

 

no not stop it, but he said something about the "smart box" included with the system interfering with the VTEC.

 

search in the FI forum. there is a rediculously in depth thread about the install.

 

Pm juicedS2k. He has the zex kit.

 

i had the zex kit too loved it check how its hooked up make sure its all wired up right aand also depends how u r useing it, is it on a button throttle switch or hooked up to vtec
and another you dont have to disconect the vtec u need that .The box is there to make sure u dont open the slynd( with out full throttle) its more complicated somthing vacum ect idk but sympl if there isnt enough vacum the box dont let it open CHECK AL THAT OUT N GDLUCK

 

thats not true there is no reason you should ever get rid of vtec...its the power period...your friend is a tool
