Cancel VTC

Hey there. I wonder if its possible to cancel VTC in a PRA Kpro in order to use some jun camshafts since jun itself recomends the canceling of vtc, either in kmanager or with the use of a cam sprocket. I already set both vtc maps to 0 but i had a vtc error code. Thanks.

In the VTEC window in parameters there is an option for VTC(iVTEC)

To prevent possible damage you should run a cam gear which disables the VTC as well.

Can you elaborate ? With vtc disable what kind of damage i should expect?

Just disabling vtc does not mean that the cam cannot still be moved. If you have an engine setup in which there could be valve to valve or valve to piston clearance issues then you should get a cam gear that removes the variable cam.

Ok, ill consider it, altough i should be ok, theres no reason for the intake cam to move with vtc disabled.... valve to piston clearence issues are the same in every engine, with no advance or retard in a cam i dont see a reason to be worried. Only if the k intake cam sprocket is defected. Thanks.
