What do you mean by boost up the vtec? If you mean to change the vtec you can get a vafc2 which would let you raise and lower the point but you shouldnt do it on a stock engine. If you mean a boost in power you would need to get a camshaft.

AHHAHAHAH Vtec! PSSSHHH I had a 7th gen, there is no power in the 7th gen vtec.

Yeah what do you wanna do. A can would boost it, or do you wanna change the activation point. I would leave it stock, honda put it there for a reason.

The VTEC can be set to engage at different RPMs with a VTEC controller. It can not be made stronger or weaker. I wouldnt recommend it though.. not unless you take it to a well qualified honda tuner who knows what the hell he/she's doing. And even then, he/she'll probably tell you it's not the greatest idea.

you need to read on what vtec actually. long story short when vtec engages it opens valves which and your ecu raises its fuel maps. open valves means more air is coming in, that combined with more fuel = more power. but there are parts of your power band that dont respond well to more air + fuel, which is why vtec is set where it is from the factory. the only reason why anyone should consider changing where it engages is when they change theyre cams, or in your case cam.

Well if you read up on what Hondata did with the K24, it is very possible to do it with the k20a3... I have the whole article, I can tell you exactly what they did. So in technically you can "boost up" vtec...
