Also seems people havent mentioned it, but using premium unleaded makes a considerable difference in my car =]

You shouldn't be using anything other than premium unleaded in a B series anyway.

I can hear it, sounds fine to me. trust me dude if it wasn't working you'd feel a big power loss up top as apposed to before. I definitely noticed when mine stopped engaging lol.

hrm its hard to tell from the video - i would make one from a solid stand still and hit full throttle and redline in first and second gears (staying within the speed limit of course)

VTEC will only engage when the engine is warmed up - it relies on oil pressure - therefore VTEC will just not operate for about the first 15mins of running the car
a general rule of driving is to warm the car up for 15mins before pushing it hard anyway

u could take it to honda and get the vtec solonoid and wiring for vtec checked up too

u can read up on resetting the ECU and see if that helps

u could check the oil and make sure u are running a good quality oil - Honda FEO 10w30 is a good place to start lol

from what i can hear in that video either the clutch slipped or u clutched in before vtec engaged and it free-reved up
either that or the video is just such bad quality its hard to tell whats happening

I'm not kissing Bludger's arse here, but he's soooo right.

Ffs it's plain as day. Close your eyes and just listen you can DISTINCTLY hear it crossover.

Rather than listen for the crossover, just listen for the change in tone.
