Around 3500rpm, but it varies.

Can you feel the extra boost right away, because when my dad drives, and i tell him to hit higher rpms, i can't really feel it.

no, it is for sure on the 98+ V6 it IS 3500...no debate...

you can't feel it, but its happening...

get an intake and you WILL hear it...

it is ALWAYS 3500, it doesn't vary like the 4 cylinder accords

actually VTEC is always engaged...........

you do not hit high cam until the car says so, which varies with RPM, MPH, etc.

in the 98+ v6 accords it does not matter what mph it only matters what rpm and i hope you meant to say that it does not hit the high lobe on the cam because the way you worded it it sounds like another cam starts working. Just wondering

On the 4 cyl. accords I was under the impression that the vtec didn't switch to the high setting until 5000 rpm, though i've tested mine in the high 3000 rpm range. When does vtec switch over on the F22's and F23's?

No one is going to answer that, do a search through the Accord forum.
