This is the best site i found with a full explaination. could just paste is here but the site has very good diagrams & info. good luck

floor your car. you will hear it buzz. when all of a sudden, the buzzing sound gets a little deeper, vtec has kicked in.

The pitch of the engine changes around 3100 rpms. That's the valve timing changing. It increases the power band in the rpm range.

The way I can tell is when all of the sudden you're thrown back in your seat. I floored my 02 Accord and for a four cylinder, holy cow, it has some power!

vtec starts usually around 2800 opening up but doesn't kick into utnil about 4800-5200 depending on you're car
