yes its a 100% VTEC. haha what kind of question?!
i'm not sure when it activates on 04 civic EX's. it is SOHC VTEC, so you're not going to hear VTEC activate (same with other SOHC VTEC engines).

unless your friggin MIL comes on (check engine light), and when it comes on and throws a code for vtec malfunction, then your vtec is golden, duh!

i have a 94 civic ex n my vtech kicks in about 4.5 rpms .. hear it ? only if the radios down and the windows are up .. feel it yea ... from about 4.5 to 6-7 im moving way fast .... gotta be careful though a lil passed 7 is redline ... and im still running everything stock so i rarely let it get to 7 in 3rd n 4th unless i need to make moves
