You do need a new ECU to make VTEC work, although your best bet is to get a tunable ECU and get it tuned.

For the Y8 head/mani check craigslist, ebay, and the H-T marketplace.

Yes, the Y8 head is VTEC.

You can use the P2P ECU but I'd get a chipped OBD-I and run that off a good tune for optimal performance.

EDIT:
PS: You need to wire up VTEC and the VTEC spool pressure check switch - there's a how-to on it here:

Should be everything you need.
