Just the fix by grounding one of the wires from the vtc, not rebuild or replace, How is performance after?

 

It works great -- I was the first to do it. Many have done it since. There is no noticable performance change. I don't know how or why. I understand what it does and how it affects the car, jsut not why it doens't change things. Anyway, just make syre you have a REAL SOLID ground.

I've heard of this mod before =)

Ryan was the first to do it and then I copied him and took pics. I've heard of many others that have done it too with no probs

 

What does this do?
Something with the sound?
I have a 90se would you recomend it?

 

Don't worry about it, you have the VG engine so you are not affected. I would check my exhaust studs if I was you.

 

Attn GBA: THIS IS A IMPORTANT REPLY~~. BE ADVISED THAT DOING THE REWIRE IS GREAT TO GET RID OF THE TICKING/CLACKING NOISE THAT YOUR ENGINE NOW EXHIBITS, BUT..BE FOREWARNED, IF YOU HAVE A 5-SPD LIKE ME ,YOU WILL NOTICE A REAL POWER LOSS IF YOU ARE A PERFORMANCE DRIVER. EX. IF YOU OFTEN RACE PEOPLE FROM THE LINE AT RED LIGHTS AND ARE GOOD AT CLUTCH MANIPULATION YOU WILL NOTICE A GREAT DIFFERENCE, BUT IF YOU DRIVE NORMAL WITH GRADUAL ENGINE SPEED INCREASE YOU WON'T NOTICE A DIFFERENCE EXCEPT BETWEEN 35 AND 50 mph. MY FINAL COMMENT- DO THE REWIRE BECAUSE IT STOPS THAT EMBARRASMENT OF HAVING A CLEAN CAR WITH A TIME BOMB NOISE MAKING PEOPLE GIVE YOU WEIRD LOOKS AND LAUGHS. HAVE FUN WITH THE REWIRE ITS VERY SIMPLE.

 

I have a 1993 SE and would like to know how to do this VTC rewire. I tried searching this forum, but have no success. Please decribe this procedure. Thanks.

 

Here is the link where you will find the instructions on how to do the rewire;

copy and paste it to the address bar.

 

the instructions for the rewire are on my site; click on my car below and go to how-to section
i know the pics aren't working right nwo so you have to right click on the little red X where it would be and go to properties, then copy and paste the location for the pic; go back and it should be displayed on the VTC page; repeat for all pics-it takes a little while, but I can't fix the page right now becuase I forgot my password

Johnny Blaze-I don't know what you're talking about. I have a 93SE 5 speed that I did the rewire on. I have and do often drive it very hard from 0-70 or so. I have noticed NO difference in power after the rewire so I don't understand why yours is different. I'm not doubting you, I'm just saying mine is fine.
Others-try the mod; it takes less than 10 minutes and is VERY EASILY reversed if you do for some reason notice a power loss - just cut the wire you attached and tape it back up

 

Wow...thanks for the quick reply guys. I will try this VTC rewire soon. Anything to reduce the annoying clatter during warm up will help. Again, thanks.
