I know that VTEC engagement on the i4 is something like 4500 or 4800.

Not really, on the I4 if VTEC engages around 4900RPM's that's when it switches to the higher lobe which demands more oil pressure. But if your car is low on oil, it won't switch over and VTEC will not engage. Thus, the reason of not revving past 4900RPMs in park or a drive gear

Haven't you ever driven your car when it's cold and needed to swing the tach up to get out of a tricky situation? The engine just doesn't hit VTEC engagement point and stop, it just stays on the low cam and it feels gutless.

Well, according to my experience and not something I've read, my car (along with others I know) will not rev past 4900RPM's with a low oil pressure. It's happened to me twice since I've had to car.
I would have thought there was a problem with my car, but I doubt it if other people with F23A and J30A1 motors have experienced the same problem

So the car still will not rev past a certain point in the rev range when it's warmed up? Does it just STOP like you've hit the fuel cut off? Maybe the ECU is bad or something, that's weird.
