when i used to have my second gen db2....i believe it kicked in at 5700, but i might never know cuz the person i bought mine from swapped in a 90-91 ls gauge cluster....prolly for lower milage. i crashed my car a few days before i received the jdm cluster. would the rpms still be correct? i was able to take the car well past the visual redline till 8000....the end of the tach.

But yeah, what these guys said. If I'm not mistaken the type-R doesn't have this 2-stage "vtec engagement", so it pulls much harder at the crossover point.

Wow, I hate to point it out, but you spelled VTEC as vtech...whats up with that?? We all make mistakes.

Anyways yes that is true, type-R's do not have dual engagement, but you can acheive this same thing on a GSR by getting a skunk2 intake manifold. Only thing is that your check engine light will then stay on forever. I have this and it annoys me.

You can easily tell when the sound and tone of your engine change, it's much deeper in VTEC. Hook up a vtec light if you can't tell by ur self, I personally think it's lame.
