check out this page for pics of Killermove's engine with extra ground wire for vtc assembly
I will soon do the rewire on my car and put more info up on how to do it since it doesn't tell which wire to do yet and some other necessary info, but I'll post again when I have the rest of the info needed for the rewire

I just wanted to let you guys see the pics that Ryan took

Sweet!
My '93 SE won't sound like a diesel anymore!

When you do yours, is there any chance of verifying how "solid" the ground needs to be. If this ground can turn off the VTC and ungrounding it can turn it back on, that may open the door to manipulating it into working almost completely.

If I hacked a simple tachometer and could run the output signal to a basic circuit which would open or close the ground depending on an RPM threshold, then basic VTC operation could be emulated.

I realize this is a bit of a longshot, but what the heck. I never would have thought a $1000 repair could be lowered to almost $50.

Well...

It is a good thought...and with good quality wiring and circutry, that should be possible.

But, befire you go through the trouble of doing that, try performance with it off. You won't notice the difference (I know!! That sounds insane, but it's true!).
