What exactly are you looking for? It takes a couple of things to trip VTEC. Oil Pressure, engine temp, the computer, and the solenoid to lock in the spacer that puts the cam onto the VTEC lobe.
Make some sense out of what you want to do.

Why do you think that it's vtec?

Vtec on our cars engages between 2800 and 3200 rpm.
