Is the VTEC on this car supposed to be linear?
is there a boost or a sound change that occurs or is the sound and acceleration unnoticeable? I dont really notice anything in my car.

and a slight sound change, but not much. it doesn't throw you back in your seat, but it keeps the engine pulling all the way past redline instead of dying up top

even if its not a visceral feeling.

Plus, the K24 in the TSX has.2 liters more displacement but only 9 more lb/ft of torque than the H22A, which is not exactly impressive.....

NO way the old H22 is a better engine than the K24. The K24 is the TSX is a great engine, its just limited by the high weight of the TSX. If you could fit that K24 into a 'lude it would kick ass.

I'm in no way saying that the K24 isn't a great engine. It is. I just prefer the noticeable kick when VTEC kicks in of the H22. As a side note, I raced a friend of mine's RSX Type-S (which has a similar K-series engine) and it was dead even. Both cars are completely stock.
