no... not on a SOHC motor... there were some D16's that you could hear their vtec on but thats only because they went ***** out and had stage 3 NA cams along with ITB's

why are you getting new cams, cam gears, an intake, and an intake manifold if your k swapping in a year? and no, it still wont. A stage 3 NA cam would just make it idle rough and an intake just makes it loud. As for a intake mani, your going to have to go custom because no one makes an off the shelf product yet. Your looking at about a grand right there.

edit: your vtec-e engages at a real low RPM also. i believe its at 2200 but yea, no dice with hearing it, even when boosted.

2700 rpm's, but the point is still the same. You won't really hear it, no matter what you do.
