There are some jdm p30 ecus that have vtec set at 5700 or 5800rpms, but if your ecu is chipped the vtec can be set at any rpm. I used to have a mugen chip that had vtec set at 4800, which was way too low (for a b16). Now i'm running a custom made (by me using cromepro) chip with vtec set at 5500.

if you got a d16y8 then yeah you got vtec...you got the Si (cdn version) or the Ex(us version) but yeah you got vtec. you can also check the top left corner of your motor...if you got a brown upside down shot glass looking thing then yeah...rev your motor and listen to see if it suddenly gets louder.
