Default VTEC on my Mini-Me isnt working...

yes, I took out the oil jet in the block. I have an autometer oil pressure guage, and its got plenty of pressure.

Im using a VAFC to control the VTEC, because i have a DX ECU. What i did was, instead of hooking up the Input wires to the VAFC, and the output wires to the ECU, I straight wired the ouput wires directly to the selnoid and the Pressure switch, HOPING that it would just engage off the VAFC.

Well... since its a SOHC, i cant hear or feel VTEC engaging if im driving the car, or just have the hood popped revving it.

I tested the VTEC selnoid by touching it to my battery, and i can hear it click when the car is off.... so i know its working...

Is the VTEC working on my car and since its a SOHC i cant tell... or will the VAFC trick not work, and i need to go get a damn P28?
