Default golden eagles vtec conversion

I just bought a 1994 Acura Integra LS. I got it with an intake and an exhaust. Im trying to get the golden eagle vtec conversion kit. just wondering? 1 if its worth it? 2 what parts should i get with it or do i need any so my engine can handle it? and 3 how much of a difference will it make? And any advice on some nice part that you would recommend? thanks!! i have also been reading that stuff doesnt match up right and oil leaks is this true. as much info would be helpfull and if someone has actually done this conversion please let me know how it went.

The golden eagle LS VTEC kit doesn't actually give you vtec. It just let's you put a VTEC cylinder head onto your non- vtec LS block. The build does give you a lot of power, but takes a good sum of money and patience. Here is a link on how to do it.

The golden eagle kit is what you need as well as

VTEC cylinder head
ARP Rod Bolts
Shotpeened LS rods
GSR Headstuds
Better pistons since the LS are only good for turbo(optional)
Knock Sensor(unless you get an P28 ECU plus a jumper harness)
Wiring for vtec
The list goes on with other smaller items listed in the thread I linked

Most of them now don't have oil leaks since kits are pretty good for it now. As long as you get a VTEC distributor instead of using the LS one and put the new oil lines on right, the engine shouldn't leak oil.
