VTEC Engagement Variable
What are the variables that determine whether or not vtec engages? I know oil pressure is a factor but what about throttle position, etc, etc. This came to mind while driving in 4th gear ~25mph(came out of a corner, didnt have a free hand to shift so i just let it go). The thing is that your speed climbs very slowly when in such a high gear but eventually it gets up into the 7 grand range, does vtec engage or just keep on revving on the original cam profile?

Re: VTEC Engagement Variable (AcuraFiend)
Oil temperature
Oil pressure
Speed (19mph)
Engine temperature (tied to oil temp)
Throttle position. (i think its 50% or above)
In fourth gear vtec should come in around the normal point (4400) if you have the accelerator more then half way down
