what do you mean you dont have vtec control? stock si wiring harness and stock motor? and stock ecu? then it should work...

ur ecu might have been tampered with at some point (by that i mean adjusted to that rpm) by a previous owner.

Vtec engages at like 6500rpm. Your tach or something is off.

vtec engages at 5800 rpm. what you hear at 4000 rpm is the secondary lobe on the camshaft. its bigger than the primary so it seems louder. then the vtec lobe is the biggest and is set at 5800 rpm on the stock pcm.

Are you still getting a loud crossover at 5700 rpm? Are you sure you have the correct ecu?
