When the oil reaches a certain pressure, it lets the vtec solenoid work thus causinghte engine to go onto the big vtec lobe.
JDM motors do not have an oil presssure switch b/c the JDM ECU's do not look for one. The USDM ECU's do look for one, so f u have a jdm motor, you must install an vtec oil pressure switch, i had to do so on my JDM ITR.

You guys seem scared of this thing.

There is nothing to it. I'm not speaking about the wiring.. hopefully you already have it.
