'96-'00 B16A swap

More power
I want to put turbo on but I'm afraid it will blow the engine I have.
I don't know much about Vtech's can you swap a Vtech into a car that didn't use to have one? That probably is a dumb question

For the record, there's no H in vtec
Anyway, the B16 is a great engine for boost. Do a compression check, and if all cylinders are within 10% of each other with somewhat healthy looking numbers, you should be fine, provided you don't want something crazy like 500whp. I think the b16 can hold something like 250-300whp with the stock internals.
*ninja edit: oh, and yes, you can swap a vtec engine into a non-vtec car. You just need the ecu for the vtec engine and you need to run a few wires.

If it is a B16, it's already vtec. Check the stamp on the block (here's what to look for) and let us know what it says. The B16 didn't come stock in USDM/CDM '98 civics.
