I'm not an expert on VTEC, but the 98 Prelude had a nice hit at 5300 RPM
when the second set of valves opened up.  Same as the VFR.

VTEC in a Honda car uses variable valve timing.  VTEC in a VFR only
starts using the second set of intake valves at a pre-determined RPM
(valve timing is not varied at all).
