Im suprised by this one, not one single person has metioned that if car is properly tuned, you wont really feel vtec. You only fell vtec engage really hard is when it is poorly tuned. Im not saying that you dont have a problem, but on all my cars, I never feel vtec engage, the only way that I know when it engages is because of the set points.

well if its the crx that i'm thinkin of the check engine light is on. i won't say who u bought it from but i drove 2hrs to ocala jus to see the rex and it wasn't even worth it besides the obd1 conversion. but i'm pretty sure on this
if u have a check engine light on for whatever reason vtec is bypassed for some strange reason.
please correct me if i am wrong

When I had a swapped Honda I remember the speedo cable broke and it caused VTEC to not engage.

P.S. IMO if you can "feel" VTEC, your car is not tuned properly.
