ON a VTEC engine there is a special camshaft that operates the valves. The camshaft has two sets of lobes on it. One set is designed to operate best at lower RPMs, the other set is designed to operate best at high rpms.VTEC does not make any noise when it is switching between one set of cam lobes and the other. IF it is setup correctly you won't feel it kick in either. It will be a smooth transition from one set of lobes to the other. On your car it probably switches over somewhere around 4,000 rpm
