you take the two wires off the v tec solenoid....you ground the one wire to the battery and hook the other wire up to the remote wire on your stereo....then you can control when v tec kicks in my adjusting your volume

That would have been more believable if the remote turn on worked that way (it's not volume controlled).

The gist is that you need to wire up the VTEC pressure switch and the VTEC solenoid to the ECU. Therefore you need to use a VTEC ECU, which has the correct hardware for those two things. A VTEC ECU will also have a program with two sets of fuel and ignition maps, and the ECU will switch from one set of maps to the other when it engages VTEC.

You can also use a VTEC controller, which has fuel correction tables that it uses when it engages VTEC, but you'll get usually get much better results and a better running engine with a stock VTEC ECU.
