You have to press the VTEC button located inside the shifter knob.

what he said.. dont forget tho, NEVER engage VTEC after 1700RPM cuz you could damage the engine.


about the sound, you will ear something similar to an helicopter but louder.

Yeah well, my Super VTEC is even better in my C block engine

4 gears is better than 5. 20% more reliable.

Oh and don't forget to buy a Turbonator!

Heres a real answer, http://www.howstuffworks.com/question229.htm
You activate it just like you activate your fuel injection; just drive the car.
