vtec solenoid looks like this...

taken from Honda Tuning... "The VTEC solenoid valve assembly, which includes a heat shield and is found on the back of the head above the oil filter location..."

EDIT: BTW, you know you need to wire up the vtec to turn on somehow by a controller either by a p28 ecu or a vafc. You can also use a on/off switch for vtec but that seems kind of ghetto...

does it just need a 12 volt conection?
wich wire do i hook up?
what rpms does it need to run?

Yes its 12v +. I think on that motor it kicks in around 5400rpm on the factory ecu but some people turn them down to around 3500.
