Help With V-Tec
#3
yea you sure can
check out the Mini-me conversion thread in our DIY drivetrain section
it should tell you a lot
basically you put the VTEC head on your non-VTEC block, pull out the oil jet in the block, put the new ECU in, and run a wire from the VTEC solenoid to the ECU.
that's the basics
P.S. TaLKiNg LiKE DIs is hella annoying and is for 14 year old girls.

I personally dont see the big deal about vtec, Ive had my EX for 4 months now and I might have dipped into it once or twice. It kicks in at pretty high rpms, and I dont feel comfortable pushing my little 1.6 to the limits.... not to mention the 5 speed tranny probably not liking it.
I would love to throw in a k22 and turbo it...... that's where the real power comes from!

there is no kick (assuming VTEC point hasn't been tampered with, or it has been adjusted properly during a tune). it's supposed to be a smooth changeover.

I agree with cyberx32 about the DOHC.... then it probably makes a difference whether you have vtec or not(of course we all know the DOHC motors only come with vtec).
My initial point was, I dont think it's worth it to convert a SOHC non-vtec to a vtec..... better off with an engine swap to a B or K series.

That's incorrect.
There are many non-VTEC DOHC Honda motors.
For example, the Integra LS motor.
