Search "mini me" .

For starters you'll need a vtec ecu (i.e. p28), along with the proper harness.

is the ecu just to run the vtec? i was thinking of wiring it (vtec) in a different way.

yes the ecu is so that you will have vtec... vtec on a controller or switch is not the best idea

 

[ericivic]

i was thinking of a relay wired to my shift light so i can adjust it to any rpm easily then i don't need an ecu.?

 

[eg'sforlife]

get the ecu and do it correctly or your going to have a massive head ache on your hands

 

[ericivic]

do you know where i can get a list of all the parts that i may need for the complete job?

 

[ericivic]

what kind of problems are you talking about with the vtec?

if you run the v-tec to a switch you risk losing oil pressure to the head at high rpm's and you will burn up your motor a lot faster.

if you want to lower the v-tec engagement just send your ecu to get chipped and have them set it at a lower engagement point (i.e. 4k-4.5k)
