lol yeah one i could find in a hurry but you can tell the non vtec one is noticably slower. but yeah go have a look on youtube!

really? imo it had alot more bottom end and pull through the rev range - just didnt climb as fast in the top end lol
but the difference was like a whisker lol

Perform a diagnostic test and check if you get the error codes for vtec solenoid or pressure switch.

There's a DIY in the DIY section that shows you how to do this and what codes to look for. This is also good to check if you're getting any other errors on your car.

But as everyone is saying its hard to sound check for vtec on SOHC motors.
