Because you set your phone ringer for that rpm?

What motor? What ecu?

How do you know VTEC is crossing over as 5700 rpm?

Re: (jerbear!)

you do realize that your stock tach isn't 100% accurate right? Its common for a tach to be a couple hundred rpm's off at 5k.

With an SRI you can hear it. Feeling it, well that's another issue all together.

On SOHC motors, VTEC can kick in anywhere from 4700-5500 neighborhood. The ECU determines the crossover point based on various inputs and conditions.
