I meant to say Type R motors. If not than I assume that it only has 1 stage which is around 6,500 rpms.

It's no to both or your questions. I'm not sure which if any Hondas have 3 stage vtec. All DOHC VTEC engines sold here in the states are 2 stage, meaning 2 cam profiles.

Here's a page that describes what stage3 VTEC is and what cars it's used on. link

It also describes what DOHC VTEC does, and what SOHC VTEC does. I believe all DOHC VTEC engines are 2 stage. Stage 1 is the small cam lobe, Stage 2 is the large cam lobe.
