LMAO yes i did and i looked like a dumbass when my VTEC didnt engageand it is mostly stock just have a knock off intake and headers...but thats it..

its a sohc man, your not gonna really hear it like you do in a dohc motor, i had the same motor in my old coupe, its not noticable.

Yeah I'm sure it's working, you were probably just expecting a little too much.

 

[antie22]

aw MAN!!! oh well i guess your right its only a SOHC...

 

[KCCivic]

Once you get ebay headers and the intake hanging out your window, plus like 15 stickers, vtec will engage YO!

 

[cgpEJ6]

It kicks in at 5600 RPM if that helps, so you wont be in VTEC very much

You can install a led to see when and if vtec engages...

its not gonna be very loud unless you have a short ram and the filter is basically mesh. make sure your selenoid is plugged in and you have proper amount of oil.
