Without dyno time and a good tuner just leave it be.

only dyno will tell true RPMs...not your gauge.

yeah I think V-tec for a B18C is around 5200 or 5500... I cant remeber. I wouldnt change it from stock because it doesnt do anything for you. it doesnt make you car faster or anything.

Dyno tune it, set vtec to kick in at high RPMs at first, then on the second run set it low, plot the chart, and the point where it intersects is the best x-over for the vtec to kick in.

I would not tamper with it. you need to see where you are making power at. And you need to have a dyno in order to see where its at.

actally on a stock GSR, VTEC engages at 4875 and the secondaries in the intake manifold open at 5750....... plus its not really worth a damn to move Vtec anyways unless you have big cams like Jun III's or something like that. it doesnt really do any good....
