Boost non-VTEC, or N/A VTEC swap?? - 4/21/2008 1:15:55 PM    99CXhatch   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/21/2008 Status: offline So i was wondering if it was better to swap out the non-VTEC D16 in a 99 CX hatch for the VTEC D16 and either build up the VTEC D16 N/A or boost the Vtec d16, or just boost the non-vtec d16? Supposedly the non-vtec's are better for turbo-ing because of the lower compression ratio. I want to swap to an 94+ LS VTEC B18, but i would probably be much happier with a turbo single cam. anyways, thanks for the help Post #: 1
