never done it, but it shouldnt be hard. When the VTEC engages, it has a signal. Just tap into that wire and run one to the cluster, and put in a light.

what kind of light? do they sell a v-tec thing i can insert so it lights "v-tec" also do you know what wire? where would you start?
what you can do is look at your tach and at 5500 you can yel ding and there is your vtec engagement light sound what ever you want.

if you ask me, the idiot lights are to warn of a problem... or tell you that your turn signal or high beams are on... so when you floor it and the light comes on, people are gonna think you have a problem.
An in cluster shift light would be ok, if you have a manual... but thats about it if you ask me.

I like seeing those big ole tacs on cars that already have a tac in the cluster....Nothing like knowing twice that your about to bounce off the redline.

If it was in the cluster and actually set to be usefull I think it would be slick.

There's a lot of auto ricers around here with bigass tacs on their dashes, I saw one on an auto tiburon with one of those buy a vinyl decal from us and you can say we "sponsor you" and he pulled up next to me tryin to flex, I just pointed and laughed my ass off 
I swear it was the BIGGEST tac i've ever seen in my life, bigger than dragster cars i shit u not

the bigger the more power. 
i dont know what their thinking when they put those tac and shit light on an automatic. somebody wasn't in line when God was giving out brains.

Yeah...When my 99 3.0 Vtec kicks in, you feel it. I've never ridden in a 2.2 or 2.3 so I wouldn't know how much you would feel it in a four banger....

i was reading "sportcompactcar" it said if there arent three lobes per cylinder on the intake and exhaust cams it's not real V-TEC no matter what honda says. how many lobes do we have ? or does that apply only to DOHC?
