vtec will not work until the engine is up to operating temps. you shouldnt be redlining it when it's cold anyway.

Vtec will only engage if the coolant is the proper temperature, knock readings are present and within range, oil pressure is within range, and you are moving.

Like snoopy said, don't redline or take the car up past vtec engagement point until the car is warmed up to normal operating temperatures.
