    Oh I see, I literally just installed k-pro yesterday.. I wasn't aware that you could limit it in k-pro, I thought it was strictly a mechanical thing.. Well, that settles that then.. I'll just get the 50* and tell the tuner to put it at 45* with a 7,500 rev limit for safety.

    Good deal. My tuner set the rev limiter to 8,000 on top of that for another safety precaution. Power started to drop shortly after 7,600rpm though.

    I will try to make some. Wont have my ep though. This build is going take the better part of all next year if not slightly more. As soon as I get rolling a little more and things start happening. Almost all my new valvetrain has come in. It will be off to SlowMotion hopefully by Feb for all the machine work! I will start a build thread Probably around that time too. But I will still be out and about to see whats going on.

    That's cool man. My goal is just to have the swap completed sometime in April/May. Oh yea, if you hear of any good deals on a TSX motor, I'd appreciate it if you'd shoot me a PM haha.

    I went through Honda Motors Online. They come with less than 40K miles, as well as a start up warranty. Good prices too and reputable.

    You can in kpro because there's an electronic solenoid that opens and closes the oil passages to advance or retard the VTC.

    I'm sure setting a 50* VTC to 45* in kpro is safe, but personally, I'd feel better if it was mechanically unable to go past where I wanted it. I'm not that familiar with modded VTCs, but I could see how it would be fairly simple for a machine shop to do.

    Its not hard at all. Ive modded both a *25 and a *50. Modding the *25 is easier. (You take material off the *25... i added material to the *50... a physical stop comprised of a VTEC rocker pin.)
