if you feel the sudden urge to say "vtec just kicked in y0" then it works.
if you dont feel the need, then its broke
As much as that comment is spam, it's very true lol
The vtec e is basically the "economical" version for optimum fuel efficiency, don't expect anything special like a kick in the pants at xxxx rpm, you shouldn't feel any changes. Sorry I can't be more technical about this particular engine.
to answer your question,no it does not 'scream' like the b series engines do for instance.
this version of vtec is based more towards fuel economy rather than aggressive performance,it is a more linear engagement of vtec unlike the on or off feeling you get from the b series.
you should be able to hear a slight,and i mean slight, change in intake noise up in the higher rpm,but its hard to describe
so can u put agressive vtec style cams in a e-vtec or non vtec motor?
is e-vtec better than non-vtec for performance or worse?
how much of a diff does it make on fuel econ?
dont answer with dont bother get a DOHC or dont bother turbo it, because i already know the answers to those questions, im curious about the topic at hand

You probably won't find aggressive 3-lobe cams for the d series. Plus, I suspect that the exhaust side doesn't have the vtec mechanism. By the time you get cams, tunable ecu and get it tuned, you'd be more out of pocket than getting a b16a.
