The specs are impressive, but they don't get you closer to solving the problem.
Which head do you have?
What ECU are you running and has it been modified?
Above all, are you sure you are getting electrical power at the VTEC solenoid?
Have you checked your oil level?
Have you inspected / cleaned the screen at the VTEC solenoid?

my mechanic was on point with what he was saying. The type r head was plugged permanently where oil goes up to the vtec solenoid meaning whoever hadthe car prior definatly wasnt even hitting vtec. i got beyond lucky and he had a ported gsr head laying around that should do the job perfectly
