RE: V Tech
yeah dood u look like a f*ckin noob spellin it Vtech like its some house phone... lol
it kicks in usually in late RPMs to my knowledge.. i hear like 1000 rpms before the redline but not sure. i think if u have DOHC you feel it better.

From what I've heard, it depends on your oil pressure... that's why vtec doesn't kick in sometimes when you use synthetic oil. Anyway, for me (from what I can hear of it... stupid sohc lol), it sounds like it hits at around 5500.

RE: V Tech
yeah, It's really really hard to hear it on a SOHC engine. If you pay close attention to the tach, you'll see it jump when VTEC engages. Here are some stats I found about when VTEC engages:
D16Z6 and Y8 = 4800 rpm
B18C1 (GSR) = 4400 rpm
B16A from JDM = 4800 rpm
B16A2 and A3 from USDM = 5500 rpm
D16Z6 and Y8 = 4800 rpm
B18C1 (GSR) = 4400 rpm
B16A from JDM = 4800 rpm
B16A2 and A3 from USDM = 5500 rpm
