You cant adjust the 2nd stage intake, its preset to 4k. If your talking about Vtec leave it where it was. There is NO gains to be had by lowering it.

Vtec rpm points TL-P 4400 rpm (4800 rpm on the Type-S) 99 is 3800

You said nothing of all your mods above. If you had stated in your post you did that stuff and had a RPM switch it would have cleared things up. I said it wasnt possible because there isnt a way to adjust it in the stock form.


I also hope you have a E-Manage or something to tune your car to take advantage of what you have done.

Should consider one so as to know if messing around with the intake manifold runners and the VTEC engage point will actually reduce or increase the engine performance.
