lol max rpm's are 6800 I think on a y8, why would it not kick vtec in till 6k? It depends...some engage around 5200, some 5500...that's your best bet.

redline is 7000 on a y8. I had a coworker who bought a 99 EX right before i quit that job. redline is 7000.

I repeat again, redline is at 7000 rpm on a y8. Really couldn't hear the vtec engagement over the loud *** exhaust that came on that car though, so I don't know where it switches over.
