Correct-------I dont know about not being as strong, but the sound is definetly different. Since its a 1.8 liter, it has a deeper sound to it unlike the b16a. In my friends si you can almost hear a pop when it goes into vtec from the cam shifting. In my gsr'd hatch its alot more suttle, but alot more powerful. Remember this can easily be cured with different cams

By the way, I havent got around to getting a guage cluster with a tach and i am still trying to fix a few problems, but what is the redline for the jdm gsr and is it different then the USDM version........8200 or 8400?

Re: (GSR-T-)
The only way your VTEC "hits" at 6000rpm is if you have a chipped ECU with VTEC set there. Refer to Kamin's post above on when VTEC actually switches over and when the Butterflies open up. Maybe his butterflies aren't opening.
