From what I know, vtec is always on. It changes cam profiles around 3K rpms, as proven by the vtec light DIY.

To answer your question... I don't see it but might not be looking hard enough. Where is it located? On the same exact spot as the one shown?

oh i see your 7thgeneration is different from the 7thgeneration civic in the Philippines, mine has two solenoids in it and is a 3 stage vtec, does this mean that our ECU (computer box) are different????

most likely our ECU are different. Maybe we DO have two. Are they located at the same spot? I just took a quick glance.

yup they are located at the same spot, i only see one solenoid then it means that the 7thgen civic in the US is only a 2 stage vtec, gosh my dream project just crumbled!!!! i was suppose to buy a extra headcylinder and build it here in the US were all the mods are available,

are the internals (camshaft, valvespring, retainers, camgears, seals) of the 7thgeneration (USA 2 stage vtec) different from my 7thgeneration (PHILPPINES 3 stage vtec)
