Coincidentally, I can't hear VTEC when it engages either. Once my turbo spools and the wastegate opens, whatever it was that had VTEC in it disappears in my rearview mirror. Hearing it over my exhaust is simply out of the question.

yeah dude, if ur ECU is throwing a code. i believe it disables vtec engagement
lemme ask u this, did u know how it felt before it stop kicking in?
u said since the swap the check engine light has been on hence u would'nt feel the engagement

Second you can't just plug a computer into the ECU, you actually need a program that can read it, and last, I can't understand anything else you wrote.

Your car starts going ahhhhhhhhh?? what is that? You mean you can hear Vtec or what? Well my b16 just get louder but i can't FEEL vtec either, it doesn't pull at all. But as they said above, its a b16 so even if you fix the CEL you wont really feel it

1. Which ECU are you running?
2. What code is the CEL flashing?
3. Is your oil level on par?
