no need to tap into the block. Just need to remove the oil jet between cyls 2 & 3 on the surface of the block/head mounting surface. Since it is already assembled, I would assume the person did that step. If they didn't, you'll know because you won't build enough oil pressure to activate vtec.

you cant really feel or hear it at all with the stock cam. if you want to know if you are actually engaging VTEC while driving you might want to install a light for when it comes on.

installing a short ram intake will make it more able to be heard.
