They are kinda expensive for just 7hp but I have a feeling ti might improve mpg's but probably not since ill end up stomping on it more.

Everybody in here's a noob.
I guess you guys never heard the phrase...
"vtack just kicked in... yo"
If anything, we should lower vtack engagement to 750rpm and save the secondary vtack when someone's trying to race you. (We have a V motor, that means 2 vtacks)

You just have to ask the parts guy at your dealership for the special vtec fluid. Tell him AZine sent you. He'll know what we're talking about. Most dealerships charge about $5-10 per quart. You need 4.7 quarts to flush it.

He's being serious. Once you've been on AZine for a while, you'll learn all about the secondary vtak, and how to make it kick in harder. Most people don't know it, but changing your vtak fluid can actually get you +20-25hp.

The stock settings on vtec have been proven in the past to be the best (remember, these cars are 11 years old, vtec controllers have been tried in the past with no gains) The smoothness in the vtec crossover on the newer engines are due to ivtec. There is still a noticeable cross over on our cars, but nothing like the 4cyl dohc motors of the past. Major upgrades are NOT necessary to achieve gains. Im not sure what your idea of a gain is, but with many put together very nice gains can be had.

by spec it calls for about 4.7, but yeah it's easier to just dump the full 5 quarts in, and have it a little full, to allow loss-age (and even then, that is with a STOCK size filter, not a over sized one, so yeah 5 quarts is about the right amount with a bigger filter)
