Default Finally, I can prove the VTEC activation point.

There is something wrong with the operation of VTEC in my car, which actually gave me great insight into the true activation point. With a freshly reset ECU, my car will jump in and out of VTEC past 3900rpm. If you don't believe me, come down here and I will take you for a ride. There, debate over.

I'm too lazy. Almost everyone up until now kept saying 5500rpm.

the Vtec wire on
the ECU.

5250, actually.

I've been swearing up and down it's at 4000 rpms for a long time.
