First you should check that the car really has a VTEC engine, as it's common for parts to be swapped around. Look for the VTEC solenoid on the back of the head near the distributor.

You need to research. They made D16's with vtec.

You need to research about turbo kits. The complete kits on eBay are crap.

You need to research. People will not spoon feed all the info to you that we had to research and learn about.

Research. Plan on spending at least $2-3K on properly turbo-ing your car.
