if you dont have a cold air intake or short ram intake (IE pod filter etc) try taking the lid off the airbox to hear it better
otherwise you should hear a slight change in around 4500-5000 thats the cam lobe changing over than the intake runners open at 6800 and it should scream all the way to redline
might be the other way around its been awhile since the death of my Dc2 VTIR ... but either way i loved the vtec on that thing =)
its always gona be louder on the b16a and b18c tho
another thing is that vtec needs oil pressure to work ... if the car is cold it will juss fizz and u will get no vtec joy ... this isnt good for the car either ... make sure u drive it for 15min and check the temp gauge is half way up before trying to go on a good run ... also make sure the oil and coolant lvls are right (i use Honda Coolant / Distilled water in mine)
try putting some Honda FEO 10w30 or Castrol Edge 5w30 in it as well ... good oil = good temps and pressure
take a snap of ur engine bay for us and let us know how it goes =)
