VTEC Modification
I recently stroked my 2.0L to a 2.4L with the Brian Crower stroker kit. I havent yet have it tuned but when I do I would like to have my VTEC programmed to kick in at 4500 RPM's instead of the factory 6000. Does anyone know if that is a complicated request, or is it just something simple that any tuning location should be able to do? I do not plan on a full EMS I'm just planning on running an AEM FI/C.
Any information on this would be helpful, thanks!

i think you should full EMS it... you already spent a ridiculous amount of money rebuilding the motor. might as well have it run Perfectly without any error..
As well.. Get it tuned professionally! don't be cheap on it. stroker kits are expensive as it is

DO NOT WASTE your time or money trying to get things running correctly with the AEM FI/C
The extent of modification to your engine is far beyond the scope of what that device is capable of doing. (think AEM fi/c = intake/exhaust/header)
you REALLY need to do AEM EMS. They can be found at excellent prices used here on our forum.
Do it right, or do it twice. Do you really want to keep chasing aroud weird running characteristics? Or do you want your new engine running great and pulling hard in vtec? Your choice.

Heck, the VTEC crossover could be set at 3500rpm with a stroker no problem I'm sure, I'm already salivating at the prospect of the #'s...
I can imagine the kick...woahhhhhh!!!!!!
Cheers
should always be smooth
