How are you adjusting the fuel maps? And as far as using the stock ecu for vtec, the only thing you can do is have it chipped for vtec, but you still may have to convert, I don't know. Other than that, you're looking at running a toggle switch.

no way man he won't lose power with vtec disengaged. Vtec heads flow more than non-vtec heads do so if anything he will notice a small increase in power and then we wires the vtec up and notice more power.

Have you ever driven a vtec car with vtec disabled? I have, a couple actually, including mine. And trust me. You lose power compared to what you will have.
If you have a way to adjust the fuel maps, then I guess you could just use a switch, I'd say an RPM switch over a toggle though, because with an RPM switch you won't have to go and hit the switch every time you want to go vtec. Or, you could get an VAFC-II which will let you adjust fuel and vtec.

i don't really understand this thread... last you needed help to rewire your car because you didn't want to convert to obd1... now the car was running?? it's hard for me to imagine how we should be helping you on this thread when you are not necessarily doing the things you should be doing. the reason this car is not coming together correctly is because you have been ignoring advice and are trying to do things half-assed. how do you expect to get help with the car not running all of the sudden? what did you do or neglect to do in the process??
i'm having a bad day and taking at least a little out on you. but i'm also being honest.

rpm switch and separate air/fuel map?? sounds way too complicated... get the correct stuff and do it simple, then maybe the car will simply stay running from day to day.

ok i already have the vtec thing figured out...that was awhile ago...the car was done right the first time..it has been running for a week...all of a sudden today it stalls and wont start backup..i am done wit the build..and have driven for the past week..understandable??i listened to everyones advice and it was running strong..the only thing i did not do was convert to obd1..that wouldnt make the car die after a week..
