It's possible to ad vtec by using parts from an EX. Price will be determined on where you get the parts. A dismantler is a good place to go. If your handy with tools, you could do the swap by yourself...if not....i'd figure you could have the work done for a few hundred.

I think it's better if you just do a motor swap. If you just want the 1.6L SOHC VTEC engine, it's not hard to find & it shouldn't cost that much either. Well, that's another option for you:)

i did the mini me swap . for about $800. getting the d16z6 and installation. the tough part is either buying a vtec controller or finding someone to run the wires !!!
