It hits when you save gas. :)

R18 Vtec is what makes its gas economy so great. It's in i-VTEC below (about) 2,500rpm and it's all motor no VTEC after 2,500rpm.

At least, that's what I've gathered from the various threads about the R18's VTEC.

i think v-tec on the r18 hits between 1000 to 3500 rpm, but i read it somewhere that it says the r18 engine has two v-tec spots one for the low rpm and one for the high, but im not sure. btw, i have a 07 EX and i feel my car goes faster like the v-tec kicks in at 3500 rpm

Research helps a bunch. Use the search on here and just type in keywords, like "VTEC" and "R18".
