if you feel vtec kick in then you need to have it tuned or something. that means you have no low end power.

WTF? Tell Honda that, they set the engagement point so you can feel it. And it's a 1.6L, it doesn't have low end power.
You sure your cat isn't clogged?

Re: B16a feels sluggish?? (JDM-EJ1)
dont get me wrong i can still feel the change when it kicks in, just not as much.
i just had a regular all round maintenance service ( oil, filters, plugs etc )
the thing varies a little everyday, could it just be the difference in climate??
live in South Africa, today can be 35 trow can be 24.
thanks tho, ciao!
